Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.
A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

As the mom of a five-year-old reading this and imagining what this family is going through made me physically ill. Unimaginable evil is being perpetrated before our eyes and with our tax dollars.

Look, I know this is a scary situation we’re in right now, but please don’t let up!
Call your Senators and reps to oppose KOSA and the other 18 child “safety” bills, call the E&C committee and tell them how dissatisfied you were, and tell your family and friends about this! #SaveSpeech

Some key takeaways from today’s hearing:
-Many acknowledged that Senate KOSA is a threat to free expression.
-Bills discussed have similar issues to KOSA, esp online ID checks.
-The bad idea that surveillance + censorship will keep kids safe online drove the discussion.
KEEP AT EM! ✊

NEW: We hosted a live-stream of today's House Energy & Commerce committee hearing to provide commentary + analysis as Congress considers bills that would mandate online ID checks across the internet and censor very important resources for young people.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

I personally feel that Visa and Mastercard should get out of the censorship game altogether.
But while there are in it, they should be censoring bullies (who cause active harm) at least as vehemently as they are censoring spicy artists (who harm no one).

Therefore, if Visa and Mastercard are currently condoning and financing bullying.

In seriousness, though, we're analyzing the new text but this package looks like a mess. The new KOSA text is confusing... the removal of the unworkable Duty of Care is positive, but other changes are just ... weird? Other bills in the package would mandate age verification and look disastrous.
