New call script to reject #KOSA and other 18 online censorship bills and to protect #Section230. (Shorter this time) You can use this if you don’t know any words to form on your own, but please don’t stop calling your lawmakers! #SaveSpeech

#censorship #IDverification #KOSA

- More tech billionaires & their companies will endorse 230 changes because they would give the biggest players more power, which they will wield against public discourse -We’ll see more op-eds & skeets from tech activists who aren’t listening to marginalized communities that support a 230 repeal

There’s this kind of holier-than-thou tendency to dismiss people’s observations of the world coming apart at the seams by referencing past evils and derisively sneering, “Where have you been?/You’re just now noticing this?” that I think is almost never constructive or helpful.

WATCH: “Hey Jack, how many voucher kids were already in private schools?” As @GovBillLee pushes for 20,000 MORE vouchers, @SenJohnson @LeeReevesTN & Republicans won’t answer why they won’t track how many are ALREADY in private🙈 (Hint: most of them. A coupon for the wealthy)

yeah they’re just grabbing random people at bus stops there is absolutely no attempt to even give the pretense that this is about immigration anymore. it is absolutely just a military occupation

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

Gifford: This ridiculous rhetoric by the president—it’s going to impact every single American because it makes them lose faith in us. That makes them less likely to travel here, buy American products, or invest here. This broken trust—the work of diplomacy—is very hard to build back.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents. @zeteo.com

Today, members of the House will vote on a dangerous bill that will expand government censorship under the guise of protecting youth online. Tell your representative to protect the First Amendment and vote NO.

Stop the sunseting of #sec230 Stop #KOSA Call your reps! You are allowed to leave a message. Check out: Badinternetbills.com Great resources to understand the what, why, who, when, and where of these bills that we did NOT vote our Reps in to pass these!

🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.” *THIS IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH*

🚨🚨 Tomorrow, a House Energy & Commerce subcommittee is voting on passing KOSA & several other age verification bills. We need to spread mass opposition now. We cannot allow this to pass. We have to drive mass calls into congress NOW Call 202-224-3121 www.badinternetbills.com

Super easy to use. Call your reps to OPPOSE KOSA (and other similar invasive censorship bills).

KOSA is back along with 17 other dangerous censorship and surveillance laws that congress is trying to ram through. CALL UR REPRESENTATIVE TODAY AND TELL THEM —no KOSA —do not repeal Section 230 —no online digital ID laws —no age verification laws CALL NOW!!!! We are about to lose the internet

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

Snowpacks in New Mexico melted a month ahead of schedule. River flows are dangerously low — and wildfire season has already begun.

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

virtually every other publication could learn a thing or two from @404media.co on linking back to other publications. not only is this extremely useful context to catch people up on a story, it shares credit and goodwill. this is exactly what this should look like www.404media.co/this-is-pala...

I won't speak for others but I want candidates who won't just win the next election but aggressively, unapologetically destroy trumpism and rebuild everything he's broken. If you're too afraid of a 51-49 poll to even talk about an issue I have no faith that will be you

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

i'd be mad at kamala harris for not breaking with biden and therefore winning the election, but her not being able to think for herself or take the initiative is the only reason she was in the position she was in to begin with. it'd be like getting mad at a dog for not extinguishing a house fire

Wow, only two small children had to die as a direct result of his pigheaded ignorance before he figured that out. Coming Soon: Donald Trump learns freshman econ

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

check this shit out motherfucker (i impose tariffs on every country in the world and tank the economy, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do)

hey so FYI- there are two "fics" (if you can call it that) in the ghoap (ghoap/reader) tag that is incredibly transphobic and is spewing the same rhetoric we have been seeing by the far right. it is AI rage bait. do not engage with it. do not acknowledge it. they've already been reported.

#ghostsoap a little more on the ajin!soap page

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Thinking about this one post I read a few months back on Twitter about how the scene in Las Almas can be interpreted as a wedding ceremony... #CallofDuty #GhostSoap #Ghoap #kiranwrites (1/38)

Everyone keeps saying "what can we do" and a big shout out to the team of Some More News who just released a massive collection of things from how to organize tenant unions to destroy Tesla from the inside. If you need a pick me up in a dark time this is fantastic www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed-r...

I showed my wife, a historian, the Kristi Noem video. She said “holy shit!” It’s a lot. A brief thread on bodies. It begins in the alt text below… 1/

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

A longer version of the Tufts announcement about the abduction of an international graduate student by federal authorities, circulating on Twitter and Reddit.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will result in people dying. Cutting medical research and funding will result in people dying. Cutting foreign aid, FEMA and NOAA will result in people dying. A few cars on fire is considered violence, but somehow the rest isn’t.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Do not listen to bullies. U.S. military planes arrived in Greenland at a U.S. military base — bc the PM REFUSED to meet them. Delegation includes Congressman Mike Waltz, who plan to make the islanders “an offer they can’t refuse.” HOW is this not an act of war?! This is how they annexed Hawaii.
