Christmas Sun (sun@shitposter.world)'s status on Saturday, 21-Dec-2024 02:27:14 JST Christmas Sun @k @lain @ageha for me this is just the kind of thing government is good for, it works well, it’s constitutionally mandated, and the people in congress attacking it are dishonest so I’ll stick with the status quo. -
