I think some people don't understand what the point of calling these lines are.

Yes, it's to express displeasure at the specific censorship and that is important, but it's also to consume resources and time.

OK, but why does that matter?

Simple, if you do it enough, the normies will notice.
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

So apparently, the US Gov, in their most recent series of dog whistles, are pulling LOTR references and are outright saying that their fascist reign of terror is akin to protecting the Shire. Absolutely fucking not. The comparison is a straightforward dogwhistle, don't let them confuse you.

Absolutely.

Something we have to understand is that evil never takes a break. Never takes a holiday. When those of us on the left breathe a sigh of relief cons seethe and scheme and pressure. And they do it constantly

That it takes constant pressure to move something as big as an institution.
It also takes ongoing work! It’s not just coming out every few months for a few hours. It’s 3.5% calling, protesting, protecting neighbors, and gumming up the works on an ongoing daily basis. So if you were there or wanted to be there figure out something you can do every single day.
Some food for thought about yesterday. 7 million is not 3.5% — that’s more like 12 million — but if we can continue to grow and sustain yesterday’s progress the regime cannot stand.

Art and writing are FICTIONAL. The people depicted are not real and cannot consent, but WE, real people trying to safely enjoy or share a craft with others, can consent to seeing properly flagged material like adults.

I cannot emphasize this enough:

The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent.

They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so.

Doomers are not realists.

Hey again. Coming out of my hiatus hole to bring you and updated script. It now includes H.R. 5300, the apparent "we will revoke your passport for political thought crimes" bill by Brian Mast and heralded by Marco Rubio.

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right

Tomorrow we all need to pound ALL of our reps about this. Demand consequences.

Theyre doing shit like this because they think they will face no meaningfup consequences, so we need to make a big fuss about this so it isnt further normalized
Deeply disturbing. Missouri is implementing age verification for 18+ sites through its AG. No vote, no legislation, just the Attorney General implementing the policy and forcing AV on its residents

OP lost access to their account because of the contents of the books they were reading. A casual reminder this isn't just trying to put "child safety" locks on the internet, artists, Etc. This is more book burning/banning as well.
I refuse to accept that our future will be to live in puritan hell states. Keep calling!

We must never, EVER obey this censorship, for it's evil.

Make calls NOW to protect all LGBTQIA+ Art:

#SayNoToFascism
Agreed! 🚨🧵🚨

This is not only mass censorship of LGBTQIA+ community.

But it's also to eradicate LGBTQIA+ people but public life.

We ALL must fight against this. NEVER stop calling!

For a repeat of 1933 Germany must NEVER happen again!
