If you havent joined in the effort yet, if you havent called any reps, or sent letters to paypros etc etc

You can still hop on and help. Now is the time to try! Because we will only get out of this by trying!

I feel like this right here is the only actual thing anyone can point to right now that will actually work. Don't stop pointing this out, you won't change their minds but fewer can use ignorance as an excuse #political

hi, cis folks!

if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now.

the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE.

we need you to call senators: reps.fyi

more info & script downthread.🧵
NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

Oh, hey.

Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy".

Let that sink in.

Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.
Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

I am sincerely hands and knees begging people to do this.

The existential threat is getting pretty immense and it's not slowing down, not with the gov't *openly stating* that "consensual porn" is in the crosshairs.

*Please* call. Please write physical letters. Please keep the pressure on.
This is one of those things btw where calling/mailing VISA et al and being as willfully dense as possible is an amazingly good idea.

Bring up everything you own that falls under the category 'fantasy.'

Bring up everything you own with cat ears.

Be a pedantic little fuck about ALL of it.

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

Man no one tells you that healing means you sort of grieve who you could have been without the trauma. So often we run away from that feeling too instead of sitting with it like a friend would. Just listening without judgement and being there, promising to not abandon ourselves.

Very very important. Remember a lot of trump's "laws" are not real. They are scared tactics. When you comply, you give him the power he thinks he has.

VERY IMPORTANT!

A lot of the orders that Trump has executed have not been in effect. Many of them have been blocked. Yes, some companies and institutions have already complied. They are in the wrong and can be sued, and many states have called them out on it.

Do Not Comply In Advance.

Please please please. I hate that we have to do this, but if you can, please do this.
At a meeting today with staffers for Senators Markey and Warren, the staffers made two concrete asks:

1. Please call or email and share your stories about how the current administration’s actions are hurting or will hurt you personally. The Senators can use these human stories to persuade those /1
