A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

The "well regulated" portion seems to enjoy being ignored still.
District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) - the US Supreme Court decided that the Founding Fathers put that "well-regulated militia" bit in as a joke nvm.
"well-regulated" does not mean what you think it means.
Of course... it means whatever someone needs it to mean.
That's not how words work.
Of course it is. 14th amendment has been twisted to meet one's needs as well.
If you want to live in alternate facts land, Fox News is over there - - - - - - - - - - - >
That's my point exactly. Conservatives have manipulated the constitution to match their needs. Have they not?
Everyone attempts that. We need to stop letting them get away with it, not do away with the concept of the Constitution.
Not sure where I said the constitution should be ignored. Quite the opposite. It should be followed but hasn't been followed since the beginning with the forefathers. I said it's a "good goal". I guess we are both arguing the same point on the same side.
Probably. I was addressing the general conversations in this thread more than you specifically.
