I am just going to ask it again: why are Illinojs state police not videotaping ICE, and asking for badge numbers and IDs? Why is ISP not protecting protesters?

In case you're wondering whether the TRUST Act will protect anyone: Border patrol just attacked press and protesters inside ISP's designated "free speech zone" and the state police reacted by immediately establishing a protective perimeter for the feds
moments ago: pandemonium.
a huge mass of border patrol agents, led by greg bovino, pushed the crowd of protesters and started grabbing people at random.
leading up to this, folks were just calmly standing in the grass, following isp’s orders.
multiple people detained. no clue how many.

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act," intro'd by Rep. Schriver, is unlikely to go anywhere. But it does have 5 co-sponsors— a ludicrous bill is backed by 20% of Republicans in the MI House. That's not nothing.

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

It is my opinion that introducing age verification now is irresponsible, mainly because we have now reached the point where Western governments *are* using "the database state" and exploiting online surveillance to be repressive - just as privacy activists warned for decades. This applies to UK & US

We don’t make much that would fall under “adult content”, but I think it is very wrong for payment processors to seize moral control of what can be sold.
‘Adult content’ has long been the canary in the coal mine. And it is wrong and dangerous for art and creators to be attacked this way.

Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.
