  • Freedom of Choice Act: Joe Manchin (D) voted against, nullifying the tie breaker effect that the VP (D) would’ve had.

    Reproductive Freedom for Women Act: Bill was introduced too late, killed on Jan 3rd 2025 as it still hadn’t reached the senate floor by presidential turnover. Certainly feels like it was on purpose. It’s not like senators don’t know how long bills take to pass.

    Women’s Health Protection Act: Joe Manchin (D) voted against, nullifying the tie breaker effect that the VP (D) would’ve had.

    Ensuring Access to Abortion Act: Never passed the 60 vote threshold.

    Freedom to Travel for Health Care: Never passed the 60 vote threshold.

    You got more? Keep them coming. I can keep showing you how Democrats torpedo their own bills and then blame the Republicans to keep the status quo and keep fundraising off of us.

    Yeah for the last two there, the filibuster is the culprit. But Democrats also had the opportunity to get rid of it with Biden and didn’t. So then you deal with it, keep bringing the bill on the floor till you get cloture.

    But at least they don’t try to set everything on fire. Still the better option. But still not great.








  • I thing there’s something here. I don’t think that this is the solution though.

    What I think is good:

    • A default place for posts
    • A way to remove posts from a community without nuking the user’s post
    • Possibilities of cross posting and for de-duping efforts

    What I think is bad:

    • A default community managed by admins (unscalable)
    • seems like a huge deviation from the current activity pub spec (which is kinda terrible ngl)
    • will need a very specific adapter to keep compatibility with other existing activity pub front ends.
