Just a friendly reminder that the majority of the anti-birthright citizens posters are US citizens because of this constitutional amendment. Your great grandparents or someone further back came to this country as an immigrant to improve their families lives.

F*ck this Supreme Court! Planned Parenthood is how I was able to get mammograms and other gynecological care for most of my uninsured early adulthood. So many women are going to lose their access to yearly cancer screenings.

Looking at the Big Beautiful Bill its hard not to feel disgusted

I can be convinced we need to cut entitlements; we are too low trust of a country and too broke to be generous 

But taking away entitlements and reducing poor peoples income while increasing the deficit and increasing the income of the wealthy? 

What is the pro case for this?
Are we assuming trickle down?

I’m tired of people talking about cutting entitlements. They are called that because we are entitled to receive them because we already spent our lives paying for them with every hour we worked. Cut defense. Cut corporate welfare. Make the rich pay their share of taxes. Plenty of places to cut to save the money we are entitled to.

Tell me some GenX ways you entertained yourself as a kid. I’ll start:
We use to throw rocks by streetlights at night to trick bats into following them down to scare the shit out of ourselves.

This is the main reason why this app sucks. I don't even bother to post much lately. All I do is just engage my mutuals. I only use it to reply to dms and nothing much. 

The useless spam labels gave me a false label for over 2 months now, It did not really bother me. Within those 2 months, I've shipped about 3 miniapps, and you can't even push your mini app as your spam labeled.  Joke of an app, the only reason I still use it is for dm and follow politics channel. 

So much for a decentralized social, even state sponsored social-fi can't be this worse. So annoying.

How can we change this? Let’s make some noise!
