Lawsuit Alleges Whites-Only Arkansas Enclave Rejected Applicant Over Jewish Roots, Mixed-Race Family

A real estate broker alleges a Ravenden, Arkansas whites-only settlement run by a private group rejected her bid to buy land because of her Jewish ancestry, her Black husband, and biracial children, describing the policy as an all-white community and citing federal and state fair-housing laws. The group’s co-founder says the community is a “private membership association” with selective admissions; the complaint was filed in the Eastern District of Arkansas.

An old white-supremacist idea haunts Trump's birthright citizenship case

Vox traces Trump’s birthright-citizenship challenge to a 19th‑century white supremacist argument popularized by lawyer Alexander Morse, who argued that citizenship should be denied to the children of foreigners transiently in the U.S. and, in practice, to Chinese Americans. Morse later abandoned the approach, and Wong Kim Ark settled the Citizenship Clause, but Trump’s brief echoes that old theory even as the constitutional text and Wong Kim Ark undermine it; the legal case against birthright citizenship remains strong.

Albany Law Student’s Nevada Substation Terror Plot Ends in Suicide

An Albany law student, 23-year-old Dawson Maloney, traveled about 2,500 miles to Nevada and rammed a rental car toward a Las Vegas-area power substation, injuring no one but dying from a self-inflicted gunshot. Investigators treat the incident as terrorism; Maloney was found with firearms, flame throwers, a hatchet, and armor in the car, and explosives-making materials plus extremist literature in a hotel room. The substation sustained no major damage, and motive remains unclear beyond prior threats and a note to his mother referring to himself as a “dead terrorist son.”

First Australian Jailed for Nazi Salute Plans to Appeal Sentence

Jacob Hersant, a self-described Nazi, has become the first person in Australia to be jailed for performing an outlawed Nazi salute, receiving a one-month prison sentence in Victoria. The salute, performed outside a court, was outlawed shortly before the incident. Hersant's lawyer plans to appeal, arguing the act was nonviolent and protected by political communication rights. The court, however, deemed the sentence appropriate due to Hersant's promotion of Nazi ideology and white supremacy.
