Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.
These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?
Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

House Republicans just passed a bill that will kick 14 million people off their health care, take away free school meals for 18 million kids, and raise our deficit.
Now it goes to the Senate but we need to keep fighting.

🚨 This bill gets more egregious by the minute. Rules just dropped an amended “Big Beautiful Bill” that includes a provision to pressure health exchange plans to drop abortion services except in the case of rape or the life of the mother, even if federal funds are not used to cover the services.

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

Went and I checked this, and Edwin's correct: On the left is text from the reconciliation bill "PROHIBITING FEDERAL MEDICAID AND CHIP FUNDING FOR GENDER TRANSITION PROCEDURES FOR MINORS" On the right is from the Manager's amendment that strikes the word "FOR MINORS."

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.
Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.

However! You are still encouraged to shop at local and small businesses, and you can, of course, still buy medicine, food and emergency supplies.
