while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House

support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

If you don’t think they are going to make this apply to US Citizens at some point if they are allowed to do it to non citizens then you haven’t been paying attention

Just called Senator Gillibrand's office and spoke with a very nice person who told me I wasn't the only person calling about this today and they were aware of how hazardous and scary this is. Good to hear people are reaching out about this.
🚨🚨

Tomorrow, a House Energy & Commerce subcommittee is voting on passing KOSA & several other age verification bills.

We need to spread mass opposition now. We cannot allow this to pass. We have to drive mass calls into congress NOW

@warren.senate.gov just co-sponsored KOSA again 🤦🏽‍♀️

You CANNOT claim to be an ally to the LGTBQ community and support this awful bill. Your office blatantly ignored our Boston coalitions pleas, so let’s see how you feel about those phones being melted. CALL HER!
This Trans Day of Remembrance we’re holding the memory of countless trans lives lost to bigotry and hatred, and fighting like hell to preserve trans lives still with us today!

Trans people deserve to be seen + celebrated, not erased. Trans people deserve real allyship, not censorship.

STOP KOSA

It has never been more urgent than this, US folks. Call your reps NOW and lay it all down. We cannot let them take this all away from us.
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

@linkara.bsky.social @caseyexplosion.bsky.social Do you mind giving my girl Nyssa's post a boost again? She desperately needs help with getting $600 for her rent that she's short on and hasn't had any donations in days. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey everyone.i haven't been around because I almost had a stress induced embolism last week. A great friend came over to help around the house and thanks to several generous strangers and some amazing friends we caught up with the rent just for more bs. www.gofundme.com/f/6qeec-help...

Titmouse Animation (TAG) animates The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime for Critical Role. Many of their employees have lost everything. They have created a table (t.co/RErcD9Xa3B) of GoFundMe links for their employees. If you are looking for a way to help, they could sure use it.💔

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈

Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

I know folks don't like giving out donations but PBS is a public good, often providing programming many companies are too frightened to.

A subscription costs less than your average streaming service and in some cases less you barely watch.

Keep em alive.
I received an email today from the PBS station where I've done on-air stuff for more than 30 years (primarily for Classic Doctor Who). They are very, very worried about the future. PBS Passport is an AMAZING benefit for even a modest donation. Support a local station if you can.
PBS deserves your dollars more than any other streaming service

If you are cis ("not transgender") I need to explain this to you.

Bluesky today posted this vague thread, announcing-without-spelling-out that they're allowing a writer, net troll and anti-trans activist named Jesse Singal to stay on the platform, despite every trans user saying it makes us unsafe.
In the past month alone, over 12M people joined Bluesky, with daily active users growing 10x. We received more reports in two days than in all of last year, and have integrated new systems and quadrupled our moderation team to try and keep up. Sometimes, we have to work quickly to correct errors.
