There's literally hundreds of millions of us and only a few of them.
04.07.2025 00:34 β π 6496 π 1185 π¬ 318 π 101One thing Iβve learned in social work: most of us are way closer to being unhoused than we think. A job loss, medical bill, divorce, or emergency and suddenly youβre sleeping in your car. Housing insecurity isnβt about bad choicesβ¦ it's about being one crisis away from losing everything.
02.07.2025 15:43 β π 1207 π 261 π¬ 34 π 9Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.*
The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship.
That way led to war once.

The FDA allowed into the United States at least 150 drugs or their ingredients made at banned factories that were found to have mold, foul water, dirty labs or fraudulent testing protocols.

Iβm sorry so legally, you have to keep a family member alive and then you also have to pay for it?! This is infuriating on so many levels.
You lose your bodily autonomy by getting experimented on after death AND put your family into debt because of a law you had no control over.
Itβs sick.
While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

They made a conscious decision not to.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

What will end up happening is using low income people as breeders to provide children for white evangelicals.

The Pro-Birth Accountability Act is a phenomenal bill that should be replicated far and wide. Call your representatives and demand it.

Yet another sign that Trump's support was really about the legitimate economic anxieties of working class Americans, I'm betting.
