Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.
Comic by John Jonik showing Uncle Sam and someone dressed in a suit labeled as "Corporate Media" talking about how they should wrap a present that is labeled "control of internet speech." The Corporate Media guy says "How would you like this wrapped" and behind him are two rolls of wrapping paper. One (with American flags and stars) is labeled "anti-terrorism" and the other with flowers, suns, bunnies, and cats is labeled "Protect Kids"

things're getting rough for a lot of folks in my country due to the government suspending food benefits - americans, if you're able to, please donate to your local food banks & community support organizations.
and always remember:
digital illustration of my OC Mathis and an unknown person in the aisle of a grocery store, drawn in a blocky lineless style. The other person is holding food items, and is turning transparent. Mathis looks at the viewer, one hand on a hip and the other pointing. Text above his shoulder reads: "If you saw someone stealing food..." Then in bigger text at the bottom of the image continues: "NO, YOU DIDN'T."

The Amphora of Great Intelligence (AGI)

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic strip in four panels: 1. A bird's-eye view of a giant amphora the size of a building with closed eyes and a closed mouth engraved on it. Using scaffolding, a community of wizards climbed up and are throwing all their books into it, to fill its content. > Wizards: All our grimoires for the Amphora of Great Intelligence! 2. A ground level view at the bottom of the giant amphora. This time, the wizards bring tree trunks, cut down nearby trees, and throw them into a large fire to boil the giant amphora. > Wizards: All our forests for the Amphora of Great Intelligence! 3. A gathering of all the wizards below the imposing amphora which has now opened its glowing eyes and mouth slightly. The crowd of wizards at its feet applauds: > Wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us! 4. Same shot, as the amphora responds with joyful and amused eyes. The wizards are confused by the answer... > Artificial Intelligence: According to geologists, you should eat at least one small rock per day. > Wizards: ... ... ...

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

This means Mastercard in particular is actively afraid of people bringing up Riot's connection to them negatively.

I think people should raid Riot's official livestreams and start spamming things like:

"#SaveSpeech from Mastercard!"
"MASTERCARD HATES THIS --> (.)(.)"
"#stopkillinggames"

and more

This is exactly why we need to be organized in our defense of the freedom to read. The book banners are organized & we'll funded. But they are also unpopular. Our numbers can beat their money
Majority of attempts to ban books in US come from organised groups, not parents
Last year 72% of demands to censor books were initiated by pressure groups and government entities; with just 16% of ban attempts made by parents

There is a LOT of reporting on IMLS right now, but it's being done by people who know what it is. The DOE being dismantled is overshadowing this and that's being done INTENTIONALLY.

But anyway, DOGE is in the IMLS offices right now destroying it.

Say goodbye to interlibrary loans + more.

Screenshot in case the main post gets taken down
Screenshot of a reddit post on r/fednews that reads: DOGE is at the Institue of Museum and Library Services right now, AM 03/20, to shut down the agency The Institute of Museum and Library Services is being raided by DOGE and the new Acting Director (also somehow DepSec of Labor) Keith Sonderling with the express intent to shut it down. Sonderling was sworn-in in the lobby of the office building (955 L'Enfant Plaza) and they are proceeding with quickly and quietly dismantling the agency. There is no major reporting on the death of IMLS. There are Deparment of Homeland Security personnel present - to bully a bunch of civil servants who administer grants to museums and libraries. IMLS offices are on the 4th floor of 955 L'Enfant. There is no media present to document this efficiency saving of .004% of the federal budget. Every library system in the country receives these grants. Museums in every state depend on them. Every penny disbursed is American tax dollars back in American communities. This is one of the 7 federal agencies offered up as a needless sacrificial lamb in the catastrophic resolution and last week's EO.

"common experience" meaning "I can *imagine* it happening, and that's the same as it being true!"

fuck every one them. their callous ignorance will get trans people killed.

1. In a devastating ruling, the traditionally progressive 9th Circuit Court has allowed Idaho's bathroom ban for trans students.

They rule that "common experience" is enough to assume trans students are a harm to cis ones.

The panel was majority Dem appointed.

9th Circuit Upholds Bathroom Ban, Says Trans Students Violate Cis People's Privacy
The ruling, the first of its kind, asserts that the rights of cisgender people to not have a transgender person in the same bathroom are more important than the equal protection of trans students.

Read this story in full.

It is horrifying, disgusting, and barely a glimpse. Even with all her privilege she was still kidnapped for 2 weeks

Private prisons get government funding: money for each detainee. That's the only reason a LOT of folks are in jails. And yes it includes random travellers.
I met a woman who had been on a road trip with her husband. She said they had 10-year work visas. While driving near the San Diego border, they mistakenly got into a lane leading to Mexico. They stopped and told the agent they didn’t have their passports on them, expecting to be redirected. Instead, they were detained. They are both pastors. I met a family of three who had been living in the US for 11 years with work authorizations. They paid taxes and were waiting for their green cards. Every year, the mother had to undergo a background check, but this time, she was told to bring her whole family. When they arrived, they were taken into custody and told their status would now be processed from within the detention center. One woman had a 10-year visa. When it expired, she moved back to her home country, Venezuela. She admitted she had overstayed by one month before leaving. Later, she returned for a vacation and entered the US without issue. But when she took a domestic flight from Miami to Los Angeles, she was picked up by Ice and detained. She couldn’t be deported because Venezuela wasn’t accepting deportees. She didn’t know when she was getting out. There was a girl from India who had overstayed her student visa for three days before heading back home. She then came back to the US on a new, valid visa to finish her master’s degree and was handed over to Ice due to the three days she had overstayed on her previous visa.

Any association between publicly masking and criminality is shameful. When will this state stop engaging in security theater that further marginalizes vulnerable people?
Anyway, it's always a good idea to add your Assemblyperson and State Senator to your contacts so you can speak your mind :)

New Yorkers, please call your state rep, state senator, and Kathy Hochul and tell them NO MASK BANS. This garbage proposal would kill people. We're on the verge of a measles epidemic and this terrible governor is pushing this? NO.

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.

S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.*

a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.

no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.

please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.
