This is a great way to show your support! Petitions aren't a cure-all, but another mode of attack alongside calling reps! Remember, keep going! I only haven't been posting much because of school and space on my phone but I can assure you, these actions take no time at all. #SaveSpeech #rocktheboat

KOSA is a violation of your privacy rights

#SaveSpeech KOSA is continuing to pick up co-sponsors. You need to call your representatives and demand they oppose this bill! Use the links below to find your representatives and hammer their phone lines! 5calls.org/issue/kids-o... www.congress.gov/members/find...

frankly no matter how your senator voted, you should call them up and express how fucking angry you are about how they handled the shutdown vote last night

now that the govt shutdown is over, y'all will need to really yell and scream about these bills because many of them are going to be pushed again. tell your representatives to OPPOSE these shitty policies! www.congress.gov/members/find...

I called my US senators and yelled at them, and advocated for deposing Chuck Schumer and i strongly suggest y'all do too

it's never about kids it's never about safety it's always about money it's always about control

So what can you do? 🤔 1. Continue pressuring your lawmakers, let them know how unpopular and dangerous censorship and surveillance bills are. 2. Spread the word! Many people have no idea the internet they know and love is under threat. 🗣️ 👉https://www.badinternetbills.com/#online-id-checks

KOSA UPDATE: House lawmakers are considering removing duty of care & KOSA is currently in limbo since the House & Senate versions will differ. BUT the threat of Bad Internet Bills still looms as the House considers age verification in new kids safety package... www.theverge.com/policy/81087...

And no im not saying that to be dramatic or to try and make anyones struggle seem less. Im saying it because thats what's will actually happen. We're next. Historically they come for immigrants, sex workers, and lgbqt first EVERY TIME. Be worried and protect yourself.

Stop voting against your best interests. Do not support these censorship laws. Do not support politicians who back these laws. Those politicians are literally trying to starve you out of this industry. For fucks sake please dont let them.

Michigan already let the cat out of the bag - these laws are anti sex worker, anti trans, and anti women's health. They will put necessary services behind a wall of "adult content" and that will be enough that millions would no longer be able to access basic help.

People will actually die if these laws pass, because they might not be able to access medical care. Or because the cops randomly showed up thanks to an ID ping on an abortion website. That is our future if you support these shit ass laws - no freedom, no free speach.

This is especially relevant if you are a sex worker, trans, on the lgbtq rainbow. WE'RE THE PEOPLE THEY'RE TRYING TO WATCH AND CONTROL. These laws are intended to track us, get rid of pornography, & remove sexual health resources. We're the next ones to be ripped from our homes.

Kosa is making the rounds again in the states. CALL YOUR LOCAL REPS - SAY NO TO A SURVEILLANCE STATE. These laws are not & have never been about "protecting kids." These laws are INTENDED TO TRACK & WATCH YOUR ONLINE ACTIVITY These are CENSORSHIP and SURVEILLANCE bills.

So there's three new bills to be concerned about, BUT KOSA had one of its components gutted last week in a meeting according to some reports. The calls are working. Keep them up. We can win and will win this. Just remember, it's a marathon, not a race.

Another work week begins, so you know what that means. Another week of daily calls. We must also add H.R.2657 - Sammy’s Law, S.1586 - App Store Accountability Act, and S.836 - Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act to list of bills to tell our reps to oppose.

Support your local PBS!

KOSA dropping duty of care is great but this article buries a very important lede: A bill package will be introduced once the govt reopens that is a collection of multiple bad "child safety" bills, COPPA 2.0, the Sammy Act, and the App Store Accountability Act [age verification] CALL YOUR REPS

If you live in the US, tell your fucking representative that ID verification laws and KOSA are terrible ideas. We cannot let KOSA pass and we cannot let ID verification laws pass, whether it's for porn sites, social media or app stores.

Banning VPNs sets a dangerous precedent. It gives governments and corporations more power to decide when and how we can practice free speech, while eroding privacy and limiting access to information.

The fact that this bill has 64 cosigners now is what scares me. We gotta beat this shit back guys. Fuck this bill. Censorship doesn't make anything go away, it just makes things more unsafe.

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

KOSA is now an even bigger threat, and it was already catastrophically horrific, with AI and Palantir building databases with ICE and the federal fascist government to connect evreything you do online to yourself. And now, it's going to be attached to your govt ID!!!

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

i said this on youtube so i'm saying it here 2 days it's going to be my 17th birthday and i'm doing fanarts how to you do it: you can draw either blueberry gelatin or yellowswirl star (as you're showing on screen) no gore or blood no nsfw

#SaveSpeech This vote is happening tomorrow, and puts the security, safety, and privacy of many online at risk. Call your reps, MPs, MEPs, etc. Tell them not to sign this treaty. If they do sign it, call upon them to add protections to human rights that may ultimately come from this treaty.

Online censorship is one of the many levers of state power right-wingers have been pulling to try and snuff out queer and trans existence. But instead of fighting back, some Democrats are helping them at the controls. Read the full #OpEd from @fightforthefuture.org

KOSA KEEPS RISING FROM THE DEAD - DON'T LET THIS ZOMBIE BILL SUCCEED. It would implement widespread age verification across all 50 states and censor queer/reproductive content!

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors. We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

Chat control's vote has been shelved for now, but the EU is still very intent on driving through this kind of legislation in the future if they can If youre an EU resident, you need to contact your MPs and MEPs regularly and demand this be OPPOSED

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off. Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses. #savespeech #KOSA #stopkosa www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

Please make sure to call your representatives to stand against this bill, because it isn't really "Protecting the Kids" as they say. It's just another step towards Censorship.

KOSA has been brought back, and we need to be LOUD more then ever! It's nothing more than an internet censorship bill, violating our 1st Amendment, and we cannot allow it to pass! Call and email your rep, and tell them to OPPOSE KOSA (as well as any other bills like it)! #SaveSpeech #StopKOSA

SESTA/FOSTA backfired miserably. The UK's age verification law backfired miserably. The TikTok ban is backfiring miserably. So of course @blumenthal.senate.gov has decided now is a great time to revive the terribly written Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) which will ... spoiler... backfire miserably

Please call your reps about KOSA today. Especially if they're Republican. This is THE priority

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!

when you make your calls today, continue to hammer that trans healthcare cannot be thrown under the bus for the sake of business as usual, and that KOSA must be opposed however, additionally, if your senator voted against the funding plan, I think you should tell them "thank you".

Please take this as a warning and help out your local PBS and NPR stations if you can. Don't wait for a fund drive to donate - please just give what you can. Help keep real journalism alive

Please donate to your local pbs therenrw York and I'm posting something Cory Booker said the PBS station in New Jersey is closing how where is the public funding

Love PBS.

NJ PBS shutting down next summer. “15yrs ago Gov. Christie ended 4 decades of state funding for public TV, forcing them to find a new funder. The state cut $750k in funding this yr, but that was hardly the fatal blow; that came from the end of federal funds.” newjerseyglobe.com/media/new-je...

Even more of a reason to support your local NPR and PBS stations. Also, go get yourself a library card.

The closure of New Jersey PBS is a loss for all of us who live here. Their programming benefits all New Jerseyans young and old. I’ll continue to stand up to the attacks on public broadcasting and support local networks in Jersey and across the country.

Anybody else grow up on PBS and know the words “brought to you by viewers like you?” Anyone else realize that today is the day to bring PBS to viewers like us? As a benefit, donating to your local broadcasting station gets you access to a PBS passport, which includes tons of documentaries🖤

Support PBS!!!

This is what the Republicans and Trump regime intend to replace public education with. Just more GOP propaganda. Some states have already signed signed contracts with this ultra conservative “university” to replace PBS. Unsurprisingly states with lowest education levels are launching first.

Friendly reminder to support your local PBS station. #Emmys

After Congress clawed back public media funding, PBS says it's cutting 15% of its staff, or more than 100 jobs.
