Moments ago, public broadcasters across Alaska relayed an urgent tsunami warning to residents and tourists immediately after an earthquake hit off shore.

This is a timely example of why it's critical you call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and demand they keep current funding for public media!
Pointing to Wednesday’s 7.3 quake off Alaska’s coast, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) urged Republicans to reject a spending package that would slash public broadcasting funds.

Vance is here to grab content he can post on X, using your replies. Starve the beast.
This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.
Vice-President JD Vance confirms he has joined BlueSky.

So Ted Cruz is worried the 10 year ban on state regulation for GenAi won’t make it (because it isnt related to the budget). So what does this weasel do? Trying to make funding of broadband expansion conditional to States not passing ANY GenAi laws.

Call your Senators because this is BS!

Folks, the House advanced the disastrous reconciliation bill, with the destructive 10-year State Ban against regulations for AI intact!

We now MUST mobilize our calls to the Senate! Call today!

If you need a script the post below offers a fantastic alternative!

We only have one chance! Lets go!
The House just advanced §43201 (Sub. C, Title IV), AKA the 10 year ban on state AI laws: thehill.com/homenews/hou...

It's now time to reach out to your Senators!

Wondering how? See: 5calls.org/issue/ai-reg...

Or feel free to use the card below.

The Ice cream dragon! This commission was so much fun, and for such a lovely client. This little dragon breathes whipped cream instead of fire and has an ice cream cone head. He is absolutely fabulous.

This urchin can be a bit prickly at first, but is very sweet once you get to know him. Though a bit of a liability on a football team, he’s a great team player if you’re willing to sacrifice a few balls.
