I was one of those people that judged others for making taboo content and didnt defend their right to free expression. It was shithead behavior on my part and i repeated a lot of talking points around that time that i now know dont hold water and only end up empowering fascist censorship.

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

SCOTUS’s right-wing majority is handing Trump control of agencies that are meant to be independent and nonpartisan. They are using the shadow docket to rubber-stamp his authoritarian agenda. This is not how our democracy is meant to function. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Donald Trump is attempting to impose his authoritarian rule across the United States. Sending troops to cities against their will is unconstitutional and un-American. Stand up, speak out, and be loud against it.

Same day btw

What the article doesn't mention is that this legislation would be a fragrant violation of the 1st Amendment. The US Supreme Court has just this year upheld that pornography is protected under the 1st Amendment. Regardless, if you are in Michigan, fucking spam the hell out of your Reps.

no matter how confident you are that this shit won't pass (and it very well might not) y'all better get mad as hell and loud as FUCK about this. this won't just affect people in Michigan and it won't just affect porn.

The government can’t block your freedom watch, create and enjoy porn. It’s your 1st amendment right. And they won’t stop with just one state, it’ll be a domino effect.

Not that it should be ignored but this guy is a total crank like Mike Lee and proposes this shit all the time. It's also never going to make it past the Democratic Senate or the governor

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts. www.michiganvotes.org/legislators www.congress.gov/members/find...

To anyone angry at Bluesky right now... 1. You can make another instance on the AT protocol that isn't Bluesky. 2. Mastodon always exists as a zero-corporately backed social media alternative. 3. Use free and open source software instead of anything that is corporate-backed.

Billionaires and the authoritarians that court them (...and who said billionaires fund) are ruining the internet with censorship of adult content, spyware on our closed source operating systems, and ID verification.

Hey fellow Canadians. Can we really start getting some more noise made at granting Asylum to Trans* Americans? They're gonna get killed, and we should not allow that to happen. This is our DUTY to our siblings in the US. They do NOT deserve this.

To anyone who still claims it's wrong to call Trump/MAGA authoritarians: Please shut the fuck up okay?

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism. Project 2025's parent org is pushing it. It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trans rights are human rights, but the bad news is people also hate human rights.

To oppose trans people's rights and freedoms you break so many social contracts. We keep saying that trans rights are human rights, but conversely, human rights are trans rights, because the second you decide some people don't deserve the same rights and freedoms as others? You start to lose it all.

...or that people are entitled to privacy and dignity. And if you break open the Pandora's Box that some people aren't deserving of certain rights and freedoms, aren't entitled to privacy, because you find them icky and don't like what they do with their freedoms, you've just let fascism in.

This is entirely true on so many levels I don't think I could possibly detail it exhaustively, but you really can't oppose trans people's human rights and still have freedom of expression and bodily autonomy, the idea that people are entitled to self determination goes right out the window....

Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

They want to gaslight us into not saying the obvious truth of what they're doing. To turn opposition to their campaign of eradication into terrorism. I won't stand for it. I will not be silenced by their intimidation tactics or their attempts to label me a terrorist for it.

The Heritage Foundation is going after me this morning calling me a terrorist because I am accurately stating what they are intending to do. Michael Knowles at CPAC explicitly called for the "eradication of transgenderism." I'll continue to speak the truth of what is being done to my community.

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else. But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the GOP, who vilify them and threaten to criminalize their very existence. It's straight from the authoritarian playbook.

It’s fucked up how socially, it’s acceptable to embarrass, belittle, or upset “the left” but right wingers have to be coddled, stores have to be emptied of inventory, creators fired and lives crushed if one Republican feels uncomfortable. I think Conservatives should just take it.

so as someone from michigan, there's like zero chance this proposal will go anywhere. but that doesn't mean it should simply be ignored. stay in their ear about this type of shit.

it was always coming to exactly this www.404media.co/michigan-por...

the other wrinkle in all these "we're banning porn for UK users!" and "bluesky isn't available in mississippi" stories that no one seems to be talking about: geo-ip is inaccurate as shit, even before VPNs get involved. you can't just detect where people are with any kind of consistency

I think anyone who draws NSFW art/produces adult content needs to learn OpSec asap. The far-right see us as targets for doxing/harassment, and people should already practice online safety principles if they haven't. Please be safe, we won't be intimidated into silence.

I hear Mullvad VPN is good...

Tell me again that this isn't a statement of endorsement for the Pulse massacre, and an active attempt to blot out the victims from public memory. This is the government and the police of the state of Florida saying: "We're glad they're dead, and if you memorialize them, we will arrest you."

A Florida Department of Transportation crew early Sunday painted the Pulse crosswalk back to black and white for a second time as supporters continued to try to restore the rainbow-colored crossing. Now, police agencies are monitoring the site.

I like women alot 🥴😌

This country thinks ppl like me should be erased from public life, but there are countless ppl on here who support me as well... We're going nowhere ♥️ 🏳️‍⚧️ With all this shit going on, I want to thank you all for being my advocates... Never stop speaking for us.

Spent 6 hours gothifying Varesa. Worth it.
