KOSA is now in red alert priority. Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA We need to turn out in numbers against this!

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

3 countries have moved to UNDECIDED on Chat Control, meaning we're now down to only 8 countries opposing. I know it's exhausting, but please keep calling, mailing and spreading the word. Maybe even make posts like this calling for action in your native tongue? fightchatcontrol.eu

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log. This tells me two things: 1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day. (212) 486-4430

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

You NEED to call your reps and tell them this shit fucking sucks! They literally want to big-brother style waych you at all times, zero privacy, to "protect children"

Let's make sure that we're remembering to do this too. It's been a whirlwind, but Jimmy Kimmel's return is a sign that we can still make a difference with payment processors too.

I left a 1 star review on the app store explaining how disappointed i was with their updated adult content policy. I highly recommend doing so yourself too!

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.

Don’t stop calling stop-paypros.neocities.org

HOW TO LET BSKY KNOW THEIR POLICY CHANGES HARM ARTISTS: A GUIDE FOR MOBILE USERS! 🧵 Sending feedback is SUPER easy, and takes just a few clicks! 1. Open the left tab menu, and click that "feedback" button 2. Put your concern in the box. I'll copy paste a script to use! (CONT.)

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

Long haul yall, it is making a difference. We don't know how we're affecting things behind the scenes until we know.

Many a day in the mines

they're at it again. Just called my reps, they're on board opposing KOSA, but everyone needs to reach out to their reps

My landlord is kicking me out of the house, please read I'm not sure if I'll be able to work on comms currently as I'm gonna be on a rush to look for a place and to pack things up, so if you wanna support me please donate to my Kofi ko-fi.com/addylizardog and I'll even doodle something for you

This bullshit bill is called The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act". If you live in Michigan, please call, fax, and email your representatives and Governor Gretchen Whitmer to veto it.

According to Danish news today they Will be scanning both text and images, and they'll be scanning your emails But the list of opposing countries are growing so please, please take the time to contact your representatives. Protest IS working #Chatcontrol

#SaveSpeech Germany has, unfortunately, reversed its position back to undecided. folks in the EU, but GERMANS ESPECIALLY, need to call your MEPs about Chat Control and urge them to oppose this proposal! find your MEP below and yell at them! www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

Unlikely as it is to pass, I think maybe it'd be good to scream at your representative that you don't want people who view pornography to be on a sex offenders registry

‼️STILL NEED HELP‼️ 1200usd left (from 1850usd) short in funds for the month of August’s living bills 🙏 Ive been trying to bounce back but it has been extra difficult with our current ongoing urgencies with hospital and vet visits 🙇🏼‍♂️ paypal.me/chiguma Any form of help would greatly be appreciated 🙏🙇🏼‍♂️

It's all "Moral Victories" to these people. They're okay with letting the economy implode, kill jobs, defund communities, and make the country unliveable, but as long as they have their "Moral Victories" they don't fucking care Fix your shit ass states first.

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

Many a day in the mines

#SaveSpeech Extremely happy to confirm that Europe's 'Chat Control' has successfully been BLOCKED. While there is a good chance this proposal may be brought up again in the future, for now folks, celebrate this dub! fightchatcontrol.eu#member-states

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I am sincerely hands and knees begging people to do this. The existential threat is getting pretty immense and it's not slowing down, not with the gov't *openly stating* that "consensual porn" is in the crosshairs. *Please* call. Please write physical letters. Please keep the pressure on.

While you weren't looking, *seventeen* House Democrats just voted to strip basic rights from trans members of the military and helped the GOP pass their far-right version of the NDAA, similar to what we reported on. This is the most Dems voting for anti-trans legislation in Congress this year.

Germany has joined the opposing nations! Thats 8 total now! The preliminary vote is being done TOMORROW sept 12th. The main vote is on october 18th, but everyone in the EU should especially yell at their representatives TODAY to see if we can secure any last minute opposition before prelim!

If you want a place to start fighting back vs Visa and Mastercard and you live in these regions? Heres a great thing you can do to get your activism start Live elsewhere? Look into whether your govt has any similar petitions, or what you can do to start one yourself

Visa and Mastercard reportedly coming for FAIRIES and CAT EARS Get on the phone and ask them wtf is up because this even made me double take bsky.app/profile/dark...

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Hey. Seriously. I hate having to clang bells, but I'd really appreciated if you called your senator today to tell them to oppose this. I'm safer in Cali but just barely, and so many will suffer

Surely it’s the clothes getting smaller

The paypros and fake "banks" all seem to be getting pretty vindictive & retaliatory atp. This was inevitable. They want to discourage & demoralize us, but they're only pissing us off. Let them know how pissed off you are.

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

UK folks! Youve got your own petition now! You know what to do!!!

CANADA, UK, AUSTRALIA!! y'all all have official petitions targetting paypros censorship! IF YOU LIVE IN THESE COUNTRIES, SHARE THESE AROUND AND SIGN THEM ASAP. And verify by email! CAN www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... UK petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... AUS www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Archive.org is being sued by record labels and they're asking people to sign this petition to help get the suit dropped. www.change.org/p/defend-the...

please consider donating to save Street Roots. it's so vital to Portland. a newspaper by and for and centering houseless people which provides both a megaphone for their voices and stories, and paid work to help support them. it's the only local election endorsement list I always trust.

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with! All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this; most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue! well, we do. so fuck off.

Death by a thousand cuts. These censorious paypros and bills in committee will eat away at our ability to provide for ourselves. This is a sure outcome if we give up, but if we keep yelling we give ourselves another possibility

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it. Don't stop calling.

CALL STRIPE CALL PAYPAL CALL MASTERCARD CALL VISA DO NOT. STOP. CALLING! #rocktheboat stop-paypros.neocities.org

My credit card is due and I still need to sell 450 usd in Commissions 😞 Please help me guys, even if just sharing this price sheet!

I know you're tired of hearing it I am tired of saying it But please, if you care AT ALL about queer or adult content, make the calls. Keep the pressure up
