I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money.
Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

I’m a monthly sustainer of Crips for eSIMs for Gaza — please join me if you can. This material support makes a difference!
We spent $150K in the last month and only raised $58K. Thankfully the earlier Itch Bundle fundraiser meant that we haven’t yet ran out.
All support is deeply appreciated to keep Gazans connected through forced starvation & colonial violence:

Oh, oh I -like- this.
If you want to switch gears on hassling the Payment Processors, take a page out of the (American) insurance industry by being a 'diligent customer' and calling the company ahead of time to confirm Prior Authorization. Be polite, but very confused when they insist you stop. 😇

Make sure to call Visa before making any purchase and ask if it would bring them disrepute, just to be safe.

It would be REALLY funny if Visa suddenly got tips from thousands of people reporting every store that has ever carried an official Star Wars movie.
Those are just jam-packed with 'non-consentual mutilation of a person or body part', which is apparently against the rules to distribute.

Am I really doing this again? Yes because it's important, also I wanted to let people know at this very moment Senator Schiff's staff are already being bombarded with calls so make sure you leave a message if you can't reach them.

A Brazilian trans woman, in the US legally under asylum, has been taken and disappeared by ICE.
Alice Correia Barbosa was in a car that was suddenly surrounded by unmarked vehicles and was "disappeared" by “agents” did not cite a reason.
Nothing creepy and mysogynistic about this at all.

ICE used your taxpayer dollars to trick out a bunch of trucks in new livery, all painted black with "ICE" and a logo printed in gold on the side (and Trump's name in gold on the back window), then shoot a rap video in DC to post on social media.

reminder:
if youre very phone anxious and are nervous about what to say, even with scripts/talking points?
its ok to call up your rep and just say "i want them to oppose [these bills]"
if you have the energy, sure, go for it. but if not? keep it simple. they tally it up all the same.

I gotta say this is the most action I've ever seen from this community!
The phonecalls, the petitions, the news coverage - Youtubers ranting about it. It just feels good to see everyone care and work together!
We live in frustrating times, but we continue to help each other push forward!

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.
This seems kinda significant.

Feels like "payment processor Stripe admits to being an anti LGBTQ hate group" should be an actual headline somewhere.
and to be clear, i was very clear in asking "can i use stripe for purchases of LGBT content" and both times, different operators have told me that Stripe does not support such transactions
theyre not even playing the "oh our brand doesnt discriminate!" song and dance

by my estimate: today is the day. it has now been one Duke Nukem Forever dev cycle since the release of Duke Nukem Forever.
In 148 days (July 22nd, 2025), Duke Nukem Forever will have been released for exactly as long as it took to release since its announcement.
Mark your calendars.
