this admin may look like buffoons. but they had a plan & they’re doing great at it 100 days in. a lot of interlocking pieces are in play to make existing in public while trans impossible. maybe criminal.

call your senator. tell them mike lee’s obscenity bill is a hard NO.

so, this is that. KOSA, SCREEN, internet obscenity definition act—whatever you call it—this is where trans people are declared inherently obscene.

can they do that? trans troops were just kicked out of the armed forces for being inherently deceitful & dishonorable, so probably! unless people fight.

she's right as kosa, ioda, screen & any bipartisan bill they try to pass is shit and i like to remind people contact your senators and reps and keep opposing these bills so that they may never pass
btw there’s a whole thread in here explaining what this milquetoast sock of lukewarm oatmeal wants to pitch as common sense, except IT’S ALL LITERALLY IN PROJECT 2025 & YOU DON’T GIVE GIFTS TO FASCISTS.

KOSA, IODA, SCREEN, & any bipartisan bill they try with a snappy kirk acronym are all 100% shit.

if you liked this thread:
1.) call your representatives and demand action against KOSA, IODA and payment processors shadow-legislating queer people out of existence.
2.) Call visa and mastercard and demand to know why they're tanking your shareholder value.
3.) buy a thing from a queer artist.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

To those who want to follow the YouTube blackout but *really* want to watch videos, you've got some options:

1: FreeTube. Standalone app, watch Age-restricted content w/o an account, & no homepage recommendation feed.

2: Invidious. Community-hosted platform to watch ad-free (and AI-free) YouTube.

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

Do this! And try to be as specific as possible, and hit a few different points. Here's some I brought up:

1. Vague wording in TOS
2. Not criminalizing sex workers or kink content
3. Inconsistent labels on images (suggestive vs. Explicit)

I'll comment some more when i think of it.
HEY
Do you want to save PORN from being kicked off this platform??
Go tell them your grievances then!

Bluesky is built off the backs of queers, furries, POC, and sex workers alike
WE were the first to join the site back when it was invite only, and WE should have a say in whether we belong!
the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content.

bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

Since it’s in mastercards rules that content that is ”patently offensive and lacks serious artistic value”,

I think all artists should all call in and politely ask for the definition of “patently offensive” and where we can find the comity responsible for determining “artistic value”

Benny is now back home now, he's got meds, but is still super sick.

If I can get this vet bill covered it would be such a huge weight off my shoulders. I've missed 2 days of work this week too, so I'm even more behind than I would be.

Please share around!

This was only caught bc of there being hard copies and a free Internet that, yes, includes piracy, everywhere.

Stop KOSA, stop the SCREEN Act, stop FADPA, and stop Block BEARD.

- paypro calling campaign is VERY IMPORTANT. statements have been made but no real results have been seen yet. would advise sending real, handmade letters to these companies as well.

- contact your representatives about SCREEN and KOSA, as well as other censorship bills. contact them daily.

Please tell your representatives to veto KOSA.
This bill is bipartisan so call and email your reps to veto it no matter their party.

We refuse to accept business as usual while people are starving.

We insist that Israel be held accountable.

Legislators are fundamentally metrics driven cowards. Flood them with enough calls and they will start panicking that theyre backing an unpopular issue

Mention both KOSA and the SCREEN act! Demand that they act AGAINST these bills!
I called my rep (Blue district).

Mentioned the KOSA and the SCREEN act, how it's censorious and even a National Security threat, citing Social Security leaks

He said that they've gotten hundreds of calls about KOSA (nice) but they didn't hear about the SCREEN act since it's "not bi-partisan." 🤔
Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

Hey Fellow 🇨🇦 Miscreants

The Senate's trying to slip Bill S-209 through on the down-low, and it's basically a photostatic copy of the UK's Online Safety Act except worse because they're making your ISP do it (Telus, Rogers, et al)

Time to start raising hell on our own soil now.

Folks in the states, alongside pressuring all the big money companies, we need to pressure our representatives in order to make sure KOSA, and bills like it, stay down

Advocating for legal media wont work if they simply make it illegal after all
The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org

We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

Part of this is climate change denialism but a big part is that coal mining is perceived as masculine, while renewable energy (and everything else Green) is perceived as feminine. Trumpism, like all forms of fascism, promotes the masculine over the feminine.
