Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Okay, friends. We have til a week from Monday to stop the Kids Act (especially KOSA) from passing the Senate. It may have passed the House, but the battle is far from over. Like your Internet free and open? Then bug and bother your senators until they recognize the dangers of these bills.

The House has passed KOSA. It now heads to the Senate, where this version, at least, faces an uphill battle. That said, get on the horn and call your legislators. NOW.

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

For more clarity on this, a bill has been introduced into the House of Representatives that would require all operating systems to have age verification. This isn't an imminent threat and is definitely something that is so early that we can beat the US govt with a stick until they stop.

The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity. It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030. Taxing the rich is a global necessity.

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.
