I love Beer Nuts, but they're too expensive.
Instead, I get Deer Nuts. Those are under a buck.

Adoptee Citizenship Act MUST be repealed! 🥚👇🏽
did you know that intercountry #adoptees born before 1983 have no guarantee of US citizenship, and instead are treated as immigrants who must obtain citizenship through naturalization? That they are subject to deportation if they have committed a crime or are deemed to be in the US “illegally?”
