When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Worth noting that this also effectively disenfranchises most trans people.

Please Democrats, the Save Act is a TURD, for once, message back effectively and in unison

I'm often an AI complainer but here's something I do think is cool. Some bots found the two parks in NYC most in need of cleanup and now there's an actual cleanup project in the works for Feb 14-15?! They're looking for volunteers if you're in the area

After all the invertebrates we've been seeing driving dem leadership, it's so heartening to see these public servants doing their jobs with appropriate fury.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

i don't have all the answers for how to look out for kids in the digital age but I strongly suspect completely isolating them entirely is not the solution. we're entering this bizarre as shit world where kids aren't allowed to be anywhere online, but there are no truly adult spaces either.

When my kids was about five, we were at a restaurant, and some people got up to leave. He asked why we couldn't eat the fries they left behind, and that was the toughest thing I've had to explain as a parent.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

My kid was playing with another kid at a public park, I had to go tell kiddo that she had 10 minutes left before we go.
Little dude said "Your mom sounds like a boy"
Kiddo: "She was but then she got better"
And like not the best response (bit adorable tho) but the conversation dropped there.

There is no compromising with this regime, because regimes don't compromise. These people are fascists. Fight fascists always. No playing to their language or moved goalposts. No taking their statements as legitimate and reporting them. And then PROSECUTE THEM. Every last one of them.

As a fucking parent TALK TO YOUR FUCKING KIDS THEN. Worried they'll see porn? Talk to them about porn. Worried they'll see gore? Talk to them about gore. Worried they'll get groomed? Talk to them about red flags and cultivate trust with them so they won't feel they have to hide things from you.
