#SaveSpeech

with Black Friday being this Friday the 28th, this is the time to maximize the impact we can have via call campaigns

If you plan to participate in this call campaign, imo you should heavily prioritize calling Visa/MC as heavily as possible between the 27th and the 1st of dec

1. After the shutdown fight, Republicans promised Democrats a vote on extending enhanced ACA subsidies, which cover 20 million Americans.

Now, new reporting shows that Republican negotiators want to make a trans funding ban a requirement for the extension.

Republicans Privately Pushing Anti-Trans Funding Ban For ACA Subsidy Deal After Shutdown Compromise
The proposal, which was first detailed in the Wall Street Journal, could harm transgender people even in blue states if it becomes part of the negotiated deal.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.

All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.

You have to dissociate to stop yourself from thinking of the Gazan cursing America from his shore, not just for sponsoring his death, but for the cowardice of its people who watch it do so while posturing as radicals

this situation is a hideously clear demonstration that the enormous trust financial institutions have benefited from is completely unwarranted: they have always had the capacity to destroy individuals for any reason they deem fit and now they just ARE.

this cannot be allowed to be normal.
Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

Burger Becky’s gofundme for cancer treatment is now for a funeral service.

To my knowledge we’ve not yet lost her, but she has announced that her doctors have informed her there is nothing more that can be done

By the way; this is not only an example of banks and paypros targeting specific individuals who spread the truth- it's also an example of the end goal of Digital Identity. They want your ID online to access so they have an easier time of doing this to you.
The full count as of today:

YouTube suspended
Twitch banned 3x
Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times
Fansly censored 1x
Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

It is looking increasingly likely that Ana - probably the person most involved in organizing protests against payment processor censorship recently - is getting hit by retaliation by those organizations.

Okay so I hope everyone and especially politicians see how this is fucking vile & downright mafia behaviour?

That's why we need regulations, these companies are targeting the reporter that broke the news on their censorship & are now trying to cut her off from financial means.

End this, period
