An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

This is BAD! Congress is moving forward to vote on KOSA and other 18 internet regulation bills TOMORROW (Dec. 11th). They want us to believe it's about 'protecting kids', but it's actually about giving anti-queer bigots more power to forever censor us and cause LGBTQ+ suicide rates to skyrocket.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.
