Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.
These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?
Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

the basic throughline from the Court’s first amendment cases today is that the presence of children essentially removes constitutional protection from what would otherwise be clearly protected free speech.

I’m really glad I decided to write this one today. Already got responses from family of transgender people thanking me for helping them understand.

1. I spend a lot of time talking about transgender youth healthcare with people who are uncertain about it.
A large number of my readers are politically moderate and trying to learn.
Today, I laid out my case against bans for my readers who fit that mold.

The Moderate Case Against Trans Youth Healthcare Bans
The disinformation on transgender youth healthcare is extreme, and many people hold weakly held opinions on that care. I talk about how to move the needle with those who are uncertain.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive.
Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it.
Whoops.

Go yell at your Senator!
Every Democratic Senator’s email and phone line should be completely packed by trans people lecturing them about obscure Senate procedures by next week!
This strategy worked to help kill the anti-trans sports bill, and it can work again–to buy us more time for organizing.

FIRST–the Byrd rule. We offer you email and phone templates to send to Democratic Senators encouraging them to raise a point of order to kill this rule with procedural rules–which could kill the provisions entirely!
The GOP could circumvent this, but the fight doesn’t end there.

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety.
Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.
