the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

There is a bill right now in the US trying to pass
It would make it illegal for any financial service provider to prohibit or inhibit any legal transaction
It's called the "Fair Access to Banking Act, H.R.987 in the House, S.410 in the Senate"

So we know who to blame for getting payment processing companies to go after furries and kicking them from only fans, fansly, and steam.
It is a group called “collective shout”. Furry adult content is being falsely labeled bestiality by payment processing companies. This group got them to do that.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.
The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

I see a lot of people blaming the comics industry for the 6-figure debt that Peter David’s medical struggle put him into. But please, please don’t forget to blame the United States, where not having affordable health care is a personal failing not a community issue.

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace
