Wild how ppl act like it wouldn't be a net benefit to the world if the US birth rate continues to decline when we are an absolute shithole that refuses to take care of its ppl in any meaningful way while causing trouble across the globe.
Whoa, Big News from @CDCgov:
* U.S. Birthrate Hits Lowest Level Ever: 1.64 Births Per Woman.
* U.S. now well below replacement fertility level of 2.1 births per woman.
* 25 states had more deaths than births in 2020, a record.

@Jillbles @AMLounsbury @diannaeanderson Someone remarked a couple years back that tho corporatization of pride is gross, it means that corps believe we are the more lucrative choice Bc there are more of us than ppl that hate us, so it's a net good lol. Plus, the babies get to see gay stuff everywhere.
A Houston family trying to get back on their feet had finally found a home - just two weeks later, their 3–year-old was shot while sitting in a car. Now she’s in a coma. There’s no arrest, and they’re afraid to go home: “We’re just so tired,” her mom said. https://t.co/IQxBBF5j37

This is a crisis. Dems need to:
1) Kill filibuster
2) Pass voting rights protection acts
Every day this crisis grows and if they don't act quickly, they will never have the chance to act again.
It’s telling that the last two Democratic Presidents began their presidencies with a “Recovery Act” and a “Rescue Plan” because their inheritances were so catastrophic.
@jennyjaffe I haven't left my house in a year and I'm honestly starting to feel anxious about going back to regular life post-vax. Bt my germophobia and social anxiety????? Big yikes, I'm worried I've become agoraphobic
