the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, reported last year that roughly 20% of Americans have medical debt

I'm honestly shocked it's only 20%.

Lotta meth in the Nazi party, looks like a bit of meth mouth and a side of tobacco dipping to me.

random US city response, probably

Not random. You just described Houston, Texas.

No doubt, this is the best mushroom book imo. It's on my shelf as I type this.

I'm so happy this is the top comment when I came in here. We're not centralized social media that requires constant content generation to acquire more views and we shouldn't try to treat it as such. Donate to your instances when you can, contribute to communities you care about with posts/comments, and then when you reach the end of your feed log off. How forums are supposed to be imo.

I imagine the same reason so many Americans think of the UK as just London, or France as just Paris. I don't know what that reason is, but I imagine it's probably the same reason.

Are we okay with this?

It's their instance, their rules. You can join another instance that doesn't defederate from them or make your own. That's the beauty of the fediverse design. It doesn't matter if we're okay with it, we have options to get around it unlike with centralized platforms.

I'll honestly be shocked if they can get him to shut up about the trial.

It's great to have additional studies confirming this! But this is also what the trans community has been saying for years. Please just listen to us when it comes to our own bodies 🥲

What happened to respecting states rights? So sick of the judicial branch in the US, the most untethered and corrupt branch of them all. Which is saying a lot considering the state of the legislative branch.

Edit: I just saw that another person already posted an article about this six or so hours before this from another news agency, so that's my bad mods. I'll try to check more thoroughly next time 😅
