Australian officials tell fans to give Neil the seal some flipping space

Like plenty of local boys before him, Neil has come home to the stretch of Australian coast where he was born. Unlike most of them, he trails fame, fans and property damage in his wake. He is also a 1,000 kg (2,200lb) elephant seal. In June, the bellowing and blubbery five-year-old mammal hauled himself onto land for his twice-yearly tour of beachside towns in southern Tasmania state after months of feeding at sea. That is posing problems now that he weighs as much as a small car and has a...

An analysis of the June 30 US Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. Barbara through a strategic rather than legal lens, arguing that citizenship law is one of the oldest instruments of statecraft and that the litigation itself is a datum about American power. The historical pattern is consistent: expanding polities seek citizens and absorb them, because they need soldiers, taxpayers and settlers.
