Its called millennial grey because millennials who rented their whole lives weren’t allowed to paint their apartments

"After boarding a handful of boats — stuffed to the brim with people and pets — community members drove across the lake as their entire First Nation burned to the ground behind them. " www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

1/ Outrageous and unacceptable. The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation wasn’t warned of the blaze that burned their community to the ground and were not given supports to evacuate.

We've seen what the OSA has done in the UK We've seen Texans locked out of BlueSky if they dont hand over their personal info Call your senators and tell them to vote no against KOSA and the KIDS Act Its not for the kids. Its for censorship and mass surveillance

PRO TIP You should keep Imodium in your medicine cabinet. Diarrhea can kill you from loss of fluids. The generic version is fine. However, as with fever, some symptoms are good for you. The extremes are very bad. Fever can kill, but it's trying to kill the germs in you. The shits are trying to...

Put another way, the entire adult userbase is going to have to upload their IDs to sketchy third-party companies and link their identities to their online activity to stop a few dozen kids from accessing a platform that is mainly left-leaning news and commentary. What problem is this solving?

Newsflash: Media companies have no obligation to bend the knee to President Trump and do as he wishes. That's the whole point of the First Amendment.

The Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act would rein in the president's out-of-control and unconstitutional attacks on the freedom of the press. Tell your representatives to support this critical bill.

House Republicans are pushing forward their new budget reconciliation bill to fund the unauthorized Iran war and elements of the SAVE America Act. $95 billion for war and voter suppression. $0 to actually help the American people. Call your reps 👉

"recognize that true honor is to be found in protecting their communities from the plague of pornography" Incredibly difficult to read that and not assume this is inevitably advocating for violence against sex workers.

Our statement on today's historic Massie Amendment vote:

That's because a strong, diverse & LOUD movement of people like YOU are pushing back & refusing censorship. 🥊The fight isn't over yet. With the House & Senate disagreeing on fundamental provisions, we still have a critical opportunity to build momentum.

😱 KOSA & many of its counterparts would lock large swaths of the Internet behind invasive online ID checks & threaten our ability to speak out online. 📲 That's why we've been fighting this for years & the tides are turning. Legislators are shifting & the “kids safety” veneer is crumbling.

‼️ KOSA update: ICYMI Earlier this month, a bill package that incl this bill passed out of the House in a rushed vote. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne... This is alarming BUT it isn't the end of the road. Here's what we know:

Ireland is working to criminalize possession of pornography it determines is "degrading." The campaign is being bolstered by anti-sex work org SERP, which claims that 65% of all adult titles feature "content of concern."

Antiporn groups have long contended that there can be no consent in commercial porn, and that even consensual, non-commercial BDSM is violence. I worked at Kink when Gail Dines said it was in violation of the United Nations Convention Against Torture.

The censorship playbook is always the same: Throw out a strawman citing "extreme" that largely only exists in the darkest corners of the internet. Make the actual law incredibly broad by including vague terms ("torture," "degradation"). Define any sex you don't like as degrading or dangerous.

And just as reminder, "the porn industry" that the government loves to demonize as a massive beast of perversion and violence is, by actual metrics, now predominantly a collection of queer women doing little more than boudoir photography. swrdata.substack.com/p/the-censor...

Hey, a good way to celebrate Lindsey Graham kicking the bucket is to contact your senators about KOSA and the KIDS Act. Graham was a big proponent of these kinds of laws, as well as of gutting section 230.

Make no mistake, Dems are definitely not our friends. But we can at least be grateful for moments where sense or pressure from the people get to them and thank goodness today was one of those days.

over the course of my life i've heard many many people say "it's too bad hitler didn't find success as an artist, maybe this could have all been avoided" and rowling really gives the lie to that

1. TERF activist J.K. Rowling is threatening to bankrupt Amnesty International (UK) with lawsuits because the org dared release a report criticizing anti-trans organizaitons. The UK's laws are designed to allow rich people to suppress speech they do not like. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Mary Morello, the anti-censorship activist who founded Parents for Rock and Rap, has died at 102. She was also the proud mother of Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, who she introduced onstage as the best band in the universe. zurl.co/KH368

Of course, the law he signed doesn't use the word "pornography," it uses the phrase "material harmful to minors." Which the Missouri Attorney General said could apply to Pride merchandise at Target. It's not hard to see where this is going.

“We’ve got a number of states that are passing this and you know what happens is the porn company then says, ‘We’re not going to do business in your state.’ Which of course is entirely what we were after. “We’d have a national ban on pornography if we could”

Missouri governor openly bragging that his state's onerous age-verification bill caused Pornhub to stop being accessible in the state. Censorship was always more important than safety.

I know im goin on about this a lot but please contact your senators about opposing KOSA and the KIDS Act. Please make friends and family aware of how this will effect them and their privacy.

Contact your representatives fucking NOW. Badinternetbills.com This site makes it easy to call. Calling puts pressure on your representatives.

If you like this, go harass your senators to vote no on KOSA! Also, consider donating to the NCSF. They do great work fighting for the rights of BDSM practicioners! (Did you know it's not protected by law, and claiming consent doesn't protect a top?? Wild, right??) ncsfreedom.org
