Worth remembering all the people (including those on Bluesky!) who said that the assassination of Charlie Kirk would change everything.
trump's approval among adults falls below 40% for the first time in his second term: fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...
his net rating is -16.4, statistically indistinguishable from his -17.2 rating at this point in his first term: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced...

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Ok, 'meme politics' is an excellent framing here and I am *absolutely* going to borrow it when I get to discussing HoI4.
My thoughts in that direction were mostly 'hey, politics sure seem de-emphasized' but this discussed the how and impacts of that choice.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Desperate emergency commissions:
For those not in the US, those on food stamps are not getting their benefits this month. My family is included in this. Where we normally get 800 to feed a family of 4, our state has allocated 190 in a state of emergency.

Hi! I'm one of the millions not getting SNAP benefits this month.
Because of that + the fact that I (not a member of SAG-AFTRA) survived the strike by burning my savings rather than working SL6 or NU…my finances are *rough* but not *immediately dire.*

4 PHONE CALLS A DAY
[If you're able to do more, you are encouraged to do so]
WHO?
WHY?
HOW TO CONTACT
WHAT TO DO
Card
MASTERCARD
+
VISA
Visa and Mastercard have long histories with pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, they have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.
MASTERCARD
(US) +1 (800)-307-7309
phone tree nav: 1-1-2-2-2-1
(INTL) +1 (636)-722-7111
VISA
(US + CAN) +1 (800)-847-2911
phone tree nav: 1-1-5. mash account #.
Your goal is mostly to waste their time and therefore their money.
Pose as a confused customer "just asking for clarification" about things relating to the Itch/Steam censorship controversy.
Paypro
PAYPAL
+
STRIPE
Paypal and Stripe have their own histories with action against adult content. Like the credit card companies, they have both pressured Steam and Itch.io, with Itch calling out Stripe as a priority target, and Steam no longer being able to process certain currencies using Paypal.
PAYPAL
(US + CAN) 1-(402-935-2050
(AUS) 1800 931 678
(GER) +49 69 945189975
STRIPE

(Cust. Support) (877) 887-7815
+1 (888) 926 2289 (say you are in california)
Same as the CARDS. Waste time, waste money, eventually try to segue into censorship of adult content as a topic.
CITIBANK
Bank

BARCLAYS

WELLS FARGO
Both Paypal and Stripe have indicated that their banking partners have also been a source of ant- Adult Content pressure.
While there are MANY banks associated with paypros, these 3 are prime initial targets.
CITIBANK

A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically
