Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through.

Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours.

US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230.

Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!
Bipartisan Push in Congress to Weaken Section 230, Expand Online Surveillance, and Increase Platform Liability
Calls for platform accountability came with few answers about who decides what speech is acceptable.

I need you to call your reps and tell them to oppose the HHS appropriations bill. They are trying to sneak a nationwide total trans healthcare ban in it regardless of age.
House HHS Appropriations Bill Would Devastate Trans Adult Healthcare Nationwide
The bill would bar federal funding for any "social, psychological, behavioral, or medical intervention" to treat gender dysphoria.

It's happening. Please call your reps and yell about SCREEN, KOSA, and IODA
NEWS: SCOTUS allows Mississippi to enforce a restrictive internet-access law without explanation. Kavanaugh writes to say it is likely unconstitutional but he is voting to allow it, only repeating the legal rule for his reasoning.

No one else wrote a word.

Hey, it's not just you. Everyone is going through it right now. You're not losing it, and more importantly, you can keep going. No matter how hopeless it feels, you can make it through this. So long as you keep getting up and keep moving forward, little by little, you'll get there. I believe in you.

If you are underage, you should tell an adult if someone older than you is trying to talk to you privately and be personal in a flirty way. Your idols/inspirations should not EVER be trying to connect with you personally if you are underage.
There's no good reason.
