Translation: they are proposing a bill that says you cannot under any circumstances use a computer for any purpose without allowing the United States government continuous monitoring and a backdoor
I know everything is on fire right now but we have to call about this, we’re already calling about everything else, just add it to the pile. The grief I feel rn is indescribable but to them it’s just any given weekday.
Here's the number for the congressional switchboard. Please call your reps and senators. This man needs to be removed from office now.

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that
I’m not American. I can’t use my voice to protect you. You guys _need_ to do everything in your power to protect your fellow humans from dehumanisation. I don’t care if you are cis or trans, and you shouldn’t either. People are people. Wake the fuck up and do something.
This is highly important for Americans. The Fed is highly independent and has teeth. This isn't just about art, either, but speech in general. Please comment if you can, and leave your information on your comment if you're willing. They are likely to listen if enough public support shows itself.
The Federal Reserve System (Board) is inviting public comment on new guidelines in regard to debanking of persons & orgs regarding lawful business activities perceived to present reputation risk.

USA folk, you need to annoy these assholes as much as you can. this bill is not to protect children. they want to erase transgender people from public life and classify them as degenerate content in the internet. we will not be seen or heard. they want our *existence* to be a sex offense.
It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.
In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
Kelly @broadwaybabyto Anyone can become disabled. Anyone can become chronically ill. Anyone can become homeless. These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant, often when you least expect it. It just takes one accident or illness to change your life forever.
Reminder
A better world is something we build together
We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.
Impeach, convict, remove.
For those of us who pay quarterly taxes or any other payment by December 31, this unheralded change in postal policy can bite you in the butt. This could have other unforeseen consequences (e.g., mail-in balloting), but for now, this is more timely.
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.
Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
The ACLU petition still hasn't reached it's signature goal? WHAT? That needs to change now. 200k signatures is nothing, let's GET IT. AT LEAST!

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.
I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.
TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!
Happy cows
Weekends are a PERFECT time to call your overlords because wait times are low
Don't let them have a break just because it's Saturday.
KEEP CALLING. KEEP YOUR VOICE LOUD.
Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out
“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure”
Keep fucking calling.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones
Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign
But we can EASILY top 1,000!
I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

People outside the games industry don't grasp that this is absolutely unheard of. Workers don't get royalties, and we definitely don't get performance bonuses. When we make a hit game we sometimes just get laid off

Alt text: A meme featuring Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles talking to an elderly woman at a desk. The top text reads: “Ma’am, I wish I could help you with the paywalls, but I can’t. I would like to tell it to right click then inspect and go to the gear icon. Nor am I authorized to tell you to disable JavaScript and then reload the web to be able to read the content.” Below are four images: 1. Mr. Incredible gently gesturing with his hand toward the elderly woman as if trying to explain something without saying it outright. 2. A screenshot of a news website (El País) with the right-click menu open and “Inspect” highlighted. 3. A close-up of Mr. Incredible looking intensely, emphasizing secrecy or urgency. 4. A developer tools panel open on the same website, with “Disable JavaScript” highlighted, showing how to bypass the paywall. The meme humorously suggests a method to bypass article paywalls without explicitly endorsing it.

I wish I could tell you how to bypass paywalls with simple programming steps that anyone could do.
I am not authorized to post the following meme.
KOSA will absolutely be used to actively target and discriminate against LGBTQIA+ people; it will be used to frame literally *Existing* as an LGBTQIA+ person as "pornographic;" you can know this because Blackburn has admitted it out loud.
Do not let this fucking bill pass. Call your senators, now.
