I'm glad Mexico and Canada are a united front on this, but I wish other potential targets would join in to hit the US economy hard and fast. The US can bully one or two countries at a time and probably has the economic momentum to come out on top. So this month it's Canada and Mexico but next month it'll be Denmark or Panama. But, if the EU, China, Mexico, Panama, Canada all implemented targeted tariffs within a week, the US would be forced to back down.

Wherever you are if you're a consumer outside of the US, I'd say give the US the BDS treatment right now.

Cool, but it the more learn the more I find that I'd rather Dansup wasn't becoming the darling of the fediverse.

I like to ask people who want to be tough on immigration, if you were arrested right now and accused of not being a citizen could you prove that you are?

Address, Drivers License, SSN? Non citizens can have all of those. A passport should work if you have one, but if you don't have it on you, you might be detained for a long time before you can get it and prove your citizenship.

Now, under the EO even having your birth certificate won't cut it. You'd need to prove one of your parents was a citizen. So what? We're all going to walk around with a family tree of birth certificates?

The heritage foundation has an argument prepared for the inevitable supreme court case. I think it's shit, even for them, but SCOTUS seems like they'll go along with anything.

Their argument hinges on the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction there of" claiming that this somehow excludes non-citizens. Accepting this argument would have the weird implication of saying that non-citizens in the US are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US. So... how do other laws apply to them? How could they be charged with working or entering the US illegally?

Damn Joe, it's a real shame there wasn't anyone who could have stopped them.

I was trying to explain federated websites to a friend and she asked if there is a federated dating app. She recently went through a break up and the apps are dreadful as I'm sure many of you know.

It'd be hard to launch a dating system on the fediverse because it the type of service that relies heavily on network effects. People want to be on the dating app with the most people. However, I think there is an opportunity because the mainstream apps are so notoriously awful, monetized, and enshitified.

It could be a community within an existing network or it could be its own website. I don't know, I'm just putting the idea out there.

I have scars around and on my genitals. When I was young my mom told me that I had surgery just after I was born. Now as an adult, I think I may have been born with some sort of intersex condition but I am afraid to talk to my parents about it.

To coordinate. This is being organized by large labor unions not tumblr leftists. They are trying to align as many union contracts as possible to expire on March 31st 2028. This also gives people time to organize their workplaces if they aren't already unionized. People can also take time to prepare strike funds. It is hard to save in this economy but if you can save $50/month for the next 3 years you'll have something to coast on during the strike.

I do clinic defense at planned parenthood. One of our protestors has $8,000 saved up to give to someone who will cancel their abortion.

I want to find a friend who plans to have a kid and convince them to pretend to seek an abortion and get "saved" by him so that they can take his money.
