bsky.app/profile/shar... I want every last one of you in WA to write your reps and tell them "NO" on HB 2112.

this is really just the tip of the iceberg. if you are in minneapolis please continue to spread the word about Defend612.com ans the Monarcha line

Waking up to half the city I'm working in being outta power kinda sucks ngl

Save section 230! or else you never see your friends from the US again! The fan fiction! The fandom! The fanarts! The animation! This also affected outside the US! And that not a good thing! Go tell your rep and senators or something! Email them, fax them, message them, calls them! 🆘🆘🆘🌐🌐🌐👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼❗❗❗💻📱💻📱💻

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW. www.congress.gov/members/find...

Silly little pet task. 🤍 www.congress.gov/members/find... stop-paypros.neocities.org

These laws are to censor LGBTQ voices off the internet. The co-sponsor of KOSA, just one of the 18 censorship/surveillance laws, said we need to pass it to protect kids from “the transgender in society”. These laws will remove ALL anonymity from the internet endangering activists, journalists,etc

In the UK I can’t even read DMs unless I give them my passport and a video of my face. This happened almost overnight! Don’t take this for granted, America!

I cannot begin to explain how dire and urgent this is. They’re trying to pass the most expansive censorship and surveillance laws we have seen in our lifetimes under the radar, and the MSM is going along with it, boosting these laws and villainizing trans ppl, abortion activists etc. CALL TODAY!!!!

i really recommend using this website to maximize your calls re: tomorrow's markdown meeting in the House energy and commerce committee. it connects you to various relevant legislators and gives you a script as well!

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

KOSA will obliterate trans people's ability to have spaces and even communicate online. It MUST be stopped.

Tell your lawmakers to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act- there are better ways to protect kids online without throwing other vulnerable people under the bus. www.stopkosa.com

A new week has come so you know what that means? More calls. As a reminder when calling your House Rep you need to also tell them about: KOSA SCREEN Act COPPA 2.0 RESET Act Sammy Act App Store Accountability Act GAMING Act Safe Messaging for Kids Act Parents over Platforms Act Cont.

The Endangered Species Act is under attack! I’ve been drawing an endangered animal everyday to bring awareness! Originally posted as speeddrawing reels on insta, I’m posting the final drawings here. If you want to find out how to help protect these animals, read the following posts!

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

"you know, one of the reasons I don't mind being short, is cause there is an extra rush to when you are climbing on a woman larger than you and railing the first hole you can fit in" REALLY fun piece by my friend @crowlix.bsky.social and featuring my good GOOD friend @raoderg.bsky.social

California! Set a reminder in your phone to call the gov’s office to tell Newsom to sign these five bills. The guy’s mercenary as hell so if he thinks the wind is shifting in favor of trans rights (it never shifted! Trans rights are human rights!) we could flip him. Info below. Call: 916.445.2841

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.” www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

i know there's a lot of information im asking to be communicated here. if your energy levels are low, or if you deal with a lot of anxiety, i do want to stress that you dont have to do it all at once, you can break it up, ie: one day you call about Bills, the next day you call about issue 1, etc

and remember, DO NOT STOP CALLING. ive updated the phone call cheat sheet one more time! imgur: imgur.com/a/sC2YqPA more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money

The paypros and fake "banks" all seem to be getting pretty vindictive & retaliatory atp. This was inevitable. They want to discourage & demoralize us, but they're only pissing us off. Let them know how pissed off you are.

Hey furries: all that work that's been done to pressure payment processors not to ban NSFW and queer media will be for nothing if any of these bills pass. I know democracy is dead in the US but we have a duty to try anyway. Peep the linked post for info about what you can do to help.

I was told directly by an aide on a call today that when a bill comes before a congressman, they specifically take their data from these calls and say "this is how many/who called in to vote yay/nay for this bill" they actually do factor in how many people call on issues like these. do your calls!

Paypros still haven't receded. We need to keep exhausting them until they give up. Letting them win wouldn't be the death of just furries but the entirety of the internet will be controlled by paypros if we let this slide.

No lie, this calling campaign is one of the most effective levers we have at the moment. If we sustain the campaign through the financial quarter we'll be sending a strong message that this administration is bad for business. Please continue making censorship unprofitable.

CALL STRIPE CALL PAYPAL CALL MASTERCARD CALL VISA DO NOT. STOP. CALLING! #rocktheboat stop-paypros.neocities.org

Here are these again, if you need them. Be polite to the person on the other line, but don't let them talk you down, either. Ask for a supervisor. Ask them to write down your complaint and have them assure you it will be sent in as a formal complaint.

and to be clear, i was very clear in asking "can i use stripe for purchases of LGBT content" and both times, different operators have told me that Stripe does not support such transactions theyre not even playing the "oh our brand doesnt discriminate!" song and dance

Let's Keep Calling!

You hear that guys? All lawful purchases are allowed! We're just not allowing the ILLEGAL stuff like...dark romance V-Novels? This ain't adding up. These companies are playing damage control now. Don't Stop Calling! More official statements only brings up more questions! stop-paypros.neocities.org

So instead of addressing any issues, Mastercard is FURTHER supressing criticism. They're panicking. Don't. Stop. Calling.

you know what would be really funny? if people started calling MasterCard saying "I mentioned MasterCard in a Riot/Valorant/League of Legends stream and I got timed out/warned/banned. I don't understand why that would happen. Can you explain it to me?"

VISA and MASTERCARD are now refusing all calls related to their policy changes. So call up as a concerned shareholder, prepared to short-sell their shares to reduce financial harm and loss to their portfolios. They're trying to ignore us. Don't let them. Evangelical Censorship is death to progress

#SaveSpeech its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well! PHASE 2: START MAILING PHYSICAL LETTERS imgur: imgur.com/a/3pVupWQ more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money

Keep calling. Keep sending physical letters. Do not stop at the slightest hint of them budging. Do not let the momentum die. yellat.money stop-paypros.neocities.org docs.google.com/document/d/1... www.reddit.com/r/itchio/com... Infographics by @dieselbrain.bsky.social

After doing some research, I was able to find that Fifth-Third and Evolve Bank are likely the biggest players. I was able to dig up a few numbers. On top of calling Stripe at either +1-877-887-7815 (voicemail) or at +1-888-926-2289 (say you're from California, live agent), call these numbers.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

It's working. Keep calling.

Cheat Sheet v.2 nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information imgur link: imgur.com/a/wWaLY2i more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

IT'S WORKING, Y'ALL!! Keep the pressure up!!

Currently on the phone with Visa Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch (cont)

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

In summary: - This call campaign needs to last at least a month - As many calls as possible, so bring your friends - Make sure each call lasts as long as possible - Each time you make a call, mention it's not the first time you've called about this

To everyone who wants Visa and Mastercard to stop screwing with our platforms: This thread contains everything you need to fight back! - A script - Form links - Email addresses - Phone numbers - Petitions - and more! Let's flood these fuckers with complaints until they get the message!

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign But we can EASILY top 1,000! I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send! ↻💬♡ to boost We CAN make a difference 💕 #itch #censorship 1/🧵

They told me they're getting a lot of complaints about this when I called, tried to push me to do an e-mail. Politely told them I would prefer to leave my complaint by phone and they took it. Easy. If you're calling Visa, hit 0 and lead by saying you'd like to file a complaint.

Heres a web page with some consolidated info/scripts/phone numbers etc made by @cereza.zone to help folks who dont know where to start when it comes to calling/emailing payment processors. stop-paypros.neocities.org

We're more than 1,000 strong. Talk to your friends. Schedule a time together to make the call. Rehearse. Make an event out of it. I understand that making calls like this is uncomfortable, but the consequences are already unbearable for many. Please.
