Tonight was a very bad night.

Steve Scalise (202) 225-3015 scalise.house.gov/contact/offi... Mike Johnson (202) 225-2777 mikejohnson.house.gov/contact/ yes it works!! We were able to stop KOSA last year because of the House GOP not supporting it

Are you kidding me right now? This is the last thing we need. KOSA is back no thanks to Senator Blumenthal who is working with the GOP and bringing in Republican Senators to convince the House to support it. Please, CALL GOP House leadership and tell them to keep opposing it!

the "who will the public blame for the shutdown?" handwringing is asinine. the vast majority of voters have no idea how government shutdowns work, and by the time midterms roll around they won't remember anything that didn't impact them directly

Shut. It. Down. Cause if this goes through…it will NOT stop at just Trans folks! It’ll lead way to remove of Women’s Rights, remove total LGBTQ+ rights, and even you fellow Cis people are in danger! HAVE THE GOVERNMENT GET SHUT DOWN!

If trans rights get taken away then that opens the door for them to take away others’ rights also. Saying trans rights are human rights is not hyperbole or an exaggeration because you know it’s not so don’t leave anything to chance. especially when dealing with legitimately gleefully evil people.

Ohio you got us fucked up if you really think we’re gonna give you our SNN, Gov. ID, Credit Card info, and other private information to just prove we are over 18! HAH! You funny! Thank God for VPNs cause this shit is ridiculous!

Success

In Ohio, starting on Monday 9/29, we'll be implementing an age assurance solution similar to what we're doing in South Dakota and Wyoming. Read more here: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

The legislator behind the new Ohio age-verification law doesn't even know what's in the bill. He claims that it excludes social media sites. No such language exists. This is why you don't push something you couldn't get passed the normal way into an budget omnibus. www.wkbn.com/news/ohio/ho...

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

People should have the freedom to create whatever they want especially when it comes to Porn/NSFW related content [unless it’s obviously and blatantly illegal and harmful].

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad. Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

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.

I’m just so fucking over it at this point with Ohio. I really am. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6oEPayC/

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

And just like that; another reason has been added onto why Ohio fucking sucks and that our politicians are as corrupted as ever. They don’t care about kids, never have. One more step to oppression and overall crack of freedom of expression and speech. Fuck this shit fr.

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech Link: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

I know I don’t post a lot of my art here but myself and a friend did a really fun pony collaboration! Take a look if you want and you are more then welcome to comment down below if you want one!

I’m sorry but what the actual FUCK?! Once again I’m finding more reasons to commit cause this country is literally turning into the most hostile and unlivable environment EVER. I’m now gonna be washing and scanning my food like fucking crazy! www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6gpTrw6/

The Roadless Rule is one of our most important conservation safeguards, protecting forests from the bulldozer and chainsaw. The move to gut this protection is a handout to logging interests at the expense of clean water, wildlife, and local communities. www.rawstory.com/roadless-rule/

They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after Annunciation Catholic School shooting: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying!” Stop paying for a f-cking minute and demand action by people and not just God.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

Saw this over on Twitter and had share it. It's too cute Artist @SoulFullHyena

The recent wave of restrictions of pornography (including kink / fetish stuff) in art, games, videos, etc. by payment processors and puritan groups runs to the political sphere at top. This recent censorship is a part of Project 2025, as it turns out. It's no conspiracy. THEY WANT TO CENSOR US!

Keep calling. This issue can't die. It starts with delisting games, but the likely goal is to enact a new morality police that can silence marginal groups and anyone who speaks out against the status quo. The payment processors are feeling the squeeze! Let your voice be heard!

Don't expect a miracle... #2danimation

Man do I have a gut feeling that the Ohio Congress is heavily gonna regret September 29th. They got us fucked up if they think anyone is actually gonna give them their government ID to gain basic access to the internet. HA! action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/ohio-en...

Oh I love it when people make an issue when you disagree with them and give out valid criticisms and concerns. If you gotta block then block, ya’ll! Ain’t gonna hurt my feelings ones bit lol Everyone is so predictable but hey—people be people pfft
