The Generals are gone.
The AG is gone.
We started a war.
Gas is up.
Healthcare is up.
Prescriptions are up.
The rich are richer.
The poor are poorer.

The constitution is a memory.

We. Are. Not. Okay.

We need to know how much energy data centers use – and if YOU are subsidizing the costs of Big Tech companies.

Rep. Finke Was Right: Age-Gating Isn’t About Kids, It’s About Control What’s at stake is whether “protecting children” becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control over the internet to enforce specific moral and religious judgments—judgments that deny

What’s at stake in the fight against age verification is not just a single bill in a single state. It’s about whether “protecting children” becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control online that reinforces specific moral and religious worldviews. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
