#citizenship

Today #Sweden pushing the laws to make us wait for 8 years for #citizenship while traveling is very much restricted during these 8 years. Destroying people's career and life at the same time.

a little concerned to see news from Spain that the Supreme Court has suspended voting rights of citizens (like me and my children) who obtained citizenship through their spanish born parents and grandparents. It is extremely unusual for a citizen not to have the right to vote in general. It goes against Spain's constitution. Of course this question to the Court was put forward by Vox, the far right conservative party. it will have to be resolved before the elections. It would be unprecedented in Europe in post war, post Franco, times for a class of citizens to be excluded from voting. Either they restore the right by clarifying the law, or they strip us of our citizenship completely. I just can't imagine there would be wide domestic political support for disenfranchising millions of people who have clearly declared their intention and desire to be reconnected with Spain. our family has built a lot of future plans around our spanish and EU citizenship. A change like this would be deeply disappointing. 🇪🇸 https://english.elpais.com/spain/2026-09-09/spains-top-court-suspends-voting-rights-for-some-descendants-of-civil-war-exiles.html #espana #lmd #spain #vox #citizenship #farright #immigration #franco

Now, of course, #Trump has restocked the leadership of intelligence agencies with people who frequently echo his often-debunked lies about #elections. After 24 minutes Trump ended his speech by urging passage of the SAVE Act. The bill, known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, requires documentary proof of #US #citizenship for anyone registering to vote—something #VotingRights groups warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. #law #ElectionLaw #ElectionInterference #BigLie

@fname@kamloops.social The law itself hasn't gotten nearly the amount of attention it deserves. As I understand it, in November 2025, Parliament passed it, thinking it would affect a few hundred thousand people, and nobody really paid attention. A few months ago, I heard on #CBC that because of the law millions of Americans are now Canadian citizens, and they need only submit some paperwork to prove it. #CanPol #cdnpoli #citizenship

#Trump has ousted members of a #bipartisan federal #election commission that resisted his efforts to require would-be #voters to document their US #citizenship before registering. The White House on Friday confirmed the executive action against members of the Election Assistance Commission, which distributes federal grants to #states, oversees the testing of voting systems and maintains the national voter registration forms. #law #Constitution #ElectionInterference

A friend, a USA citizen is moving to Spain. He and his wife have a path to EU #citizenship, have passports, I think work permits. His concern is how to navigate keeping his employment with his current company, while navigating contractor status and finding an employer of record, or EOR in Spain, and not making a mistake with compliance. I got some advice from an HR professional that he should seek #legal advice in #Spain. Reaching out for my friend; do you have any guidance, can you help? Please boost, and thank you. #expat #espana#EU

"There were 150 people from 50 globe-spanning countries sitting in front of the small stage as they prepared to be sworn in as U.S. citizens on the July Fourth holiday and America’s 250th birthday. Among them was U.S. Marine Sgt. Diakaria Sangare from Guinea, who attended in his pressed Dress Blue uniform with three medals pinned to his left breast." https://apnews.com/article/america-250-citizenship-george-washington-july-4-c47432ca8830be379c0a07bb6e0df4f7 #citizenship #immigration #USpol

A president cannot edit the Constitution with a Sharpie. The soil does not check your parents' visas before it decides you belong to it. When did a court last surprise you by holding a line you'd braced to lose? #BirthrightCitizenship #SCOTUS #14thAmendment #Citizenship #Immigration #Politics #News #Newspaper #Journalism #Constitution #CivilRights #Resist #Solidarity #LGBTQ

Somewhere in this country a baby was born this morning to parents without papers. And that baby is an American. Six justices, 6–3, said the 14th Amendment means what it has meant since 1868: born here, subject to our laws, one of us. Trump signed it away his first afternoon back. The Court handed it back today. #BirthrightCitizenship #SCOTUS #14thAmendment #Citizenship #Immigration #Politics #News #Newspaper #Journalism #Constitution #CivilRights #Resist #Solidarity #LGBTQ
