This is it. "What do you think calling your electeds will do?"
Make them feel about me the same way everyone who's ever defaulted on student loans feels about their voicemail.
Make them feel about me the same way everyone who's ever defaulted on student loans feels about their voicemail.
Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

These guys still think Donald Trump is 1. interested in "learning lessons" and 2. capable of doing so. It's mind-boggling. They don't understand the guy's nature *at all*, even though it's as simple and obvious as could possibly be. And yet they absolutely dominate the discourse about him.
The recurring US national security dilemma since 1945 has been the difficulty of translating tactical military successes into strategic ones. In the case of Venezuela, Trump is likely to learn the same lessons about the limits of U.S. military power that his predecessors learned. on.cfr.org/4pm6EiQ

For fountain pen peeps, this is the reason why I've stopped recommending Lamy and plain ignore Fountain Wheel Press
The lessons to take from this:
1) If you're in the US, leverage that legal protection to say these things for your UK friends who can't!
2) Stop fucking giving Head Bigot JK Rowling money to finance legal terrorism against people who identify raging bigots as raging bigots.
