There is NOTHING wrong with bitching and moaning, make your voice heard even if its a copy pasted text or a pre-written script, youd be surprised how much awful change in the world is caused by a bunch of rich dicks harassing people in charge so dont be afraid to to throw out a "go fuck yourself"

PLEEEEASE keep calling payment processors genuinely this shit continues to go on behind the scenes even months after sites like itch cave and do some sweeping ban and do a little "oooh we're sowry,,"

Bullying from a one sided group caused this crackdown on queer spaces, bully those bastards back
We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying!

Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups.

This is insufficient. MFF needs to prohibit military gear altogether. I'm emailing them and you should too. See the verbiage I used below. You can copy/paste directly from the alt text.

To try and help clear up confusion going around BSky at the moment regarding the gov’t shutdown:

The Democratic Party folded. They agreed to re-open government for a PROMISE of a vote.

Yes, SNAP recipients suffered for *nothing*.

Yes, there was NO ACA extension.

Yes, they accepted ALL the blame.

For all my friends and others planning or even considering going to MFF? It's under the umbrella of all this shit going down in and around Chicago, be careful, seriously and truly be careful.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Hey US friends, here's a script if you have a [D] Senator who voted against ending the shutdown. I guarantee they're making the rounds today saying they didn't want this. Bullshit.

If they're not calling for Schumer to step down, tell them to put up or shut up.

Final post today. We've spent almost 3 months fighting paypros. They've barely budged, but are annoyed.

Lets keep annoying them, ladies n gents. Lest we lose our ability to buy what we love & be paid fir the work we do.

I lost my Patreon for the time being. This obviously is a massive blow. I will try to resolve Patreon’s issues with my ASMR account, but I think this is the beginning of the end for using Patreon as a VTuber

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest.

They don't need to be in these positions anymore.

They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage.

Demand more and better, folks.

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room

For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)
new: federal agents have targeted rideshare drivers at o'hare on at least ten separate days since october 10.

in some cases, agents returned to abduct drivers multiple times in a single day, taking as many as ten to 20 people each time.

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

To sum up this thread, given recent events in the Chicagoland area due to ICE activity, for the safety of all attendees, especially international attendees, I am calling on @furfest.org to ban tactical gear & modern police/military costumes from the con space

That is the least I can ask from MFF

If your senators voted "No" then you should call them and immediately pressure them to depose of Schumer
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

DO NOT LET THEM HEAR THE END OF IT

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM NOT TO CAVE
Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.

Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

Same. It's why people need to keep fighting payment processors as they're, pretty much, the biggest culprits out there as to why the internet's becoming so censored. I don't get WHY payment processors are censoring porn when porn probably makes them the most money but.. can't fix stupid, I guess.
I hate how censorious the internet is getting. I just want to make my audios in peace. Nothing I’m creating is harming anybody. I feel so frustrated. Banned from YouTube, censored by PornHub, censored on Fansly, temp banned multiple times on Twitch, audios pulled from Patreon, it‘s insane

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.
