This just plainly makes it even easier to gerrymander the absolute fuck out of black people. I dont know what the most effective way to fight the supreme court is, but at the very least call your rep and demand action www.congress.gov/members/find...

This is absolutely foul. This is, easily, the most extreme erosion of voting rights in my lifetime. "Limits" is a gross understatement, the VRA has been gutted

Evan Greer wrote about the frightening push by MA lawmakers to pass dangerous social media surveillance legislation & the need for thoughtful solutions outside of the moral panic 'save the children' approach to addressing Big Tech social media ills. www.welcometohellworld.com/the-kids-are...

MA: Missed out on the action yesterday? Wanna keep the fire going under Healey's feet? Help put flyers up to get your neighbors calling the people who can stop this! free files for download: stoponlineidchecks.org/MA/#flyers

We rallied the #Boston community today at @gbhnews.bsky.social to share our concerns with @massgovernor.bsky.social about her misguided support for invasive, unworkable online ID checks legislation! Make sure she keeps hearing from YOU! www.stoponlineidchecks.org/MA @evangreer.bsky.social

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov is right- this IS in fact a time to be strategic! Which is why she should withdraw support from moving FISA forward. FISA without critical privacy reforms will supercharge warrantless government spying & bolster the ability for ICE to kidnap our neighbors.

If youre in New Hampshire, you need to contact your legislators and demand that SB 648 be OPPOSED. Age verification does not work! Send an email using FSC's link, but ALSO CALL your reps! www.congress.gov/members/find...

TODAY IN BOSTON: @evangreer.bsky.social and concerned parents, teachers + LGBTQ youth directly told MA Governor Maura Healey their concerns about her proposal to mandate online ID checks on the internet, which would lead to further harms to youth and are not a workable solution for safety online.

Last year we joined @lgbttech.bsky.social , @epic.org & other privacy, consumer rights & LGBTQ orgs to expose the FTC's plans to punch down at Trans kids instead of holding Big Tech accountable or protecting consumers from data brokers. Now, almost a year later: www.wired.com/story/the-fe...

'Clumsy and invasive' is a great summation for @massgovernor.bsky.social 's approach to 'kids online safety' via @bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/19/m...

The MA governor is pushing a censorship and surveillance nightmare that would give Big Tech EVEN MORE OF OUR PRIVATE INFORMATION. As if they don't have enough of our data already. You can find more ways to take action @ stoponlineIDchecks.org/MA

@fightforthefuture.org has been screaming from the roof-tops about the dangers of online ID checks alongside privacy experts and other digital rights activists- now computer scientists are joining the fray 👏 👏 👏 www.politico.eu/article/age-... @politico.com

You know it's bad when experts from every corner of tech and computers are speaking against it.. I highly recommend you listen to them!

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is set to expire April 30th. The House vote is in 48 hours to renew it. WITHOUT critical privacy reforms, that will hand even more power to the Trump admin for warrant-less surveillance! We need action TODAY 👇 theintercept.com/2026/04/27/f...

‼️MASSACHUSETTS‼️ TOMORROW @ 11 AM EST, Gov Healey will be live on Boston Public Radio. She needs to hear concerns *directly* from MA residents about the censorship + surveillance threat that her online ID checks bill poses to all of us. helpful tips on how to call-in @ fftf.link/callthegovernor ‪

"This amendment creates a requirement for companies to permanently store extremely sensitive age verification data (government IDs or biometric face scans) in case a parent requests this data in the future." No no no no no nope this is fucked this needs to be thrown out and needs years of research

Shit like this always amuses me 'cuz like, you know they tell you stuff like "your muscle mass will decrease to a female body's level" when you decide on getting HRT, right?

the comment period for this ends tomorrow. It may feel like a long shot but if you have something to say re: debanking, you should take the time to say it here

I just visited the LGBTQ+ exhibition at Suginami Ward's city hall 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ The exhibition lasts until 4PM today. I would not have known about it if it weren't for a tweet from a local rightwing politician complaining about the exhibition.

i don't know how to parody this anymore

again we need to make sure that this shit doesn't come to pass, we already getting fucked enough as is, we don't need anymore bullshit, and again these MFs don't care about children, they only used them as excused for doing stupid and/or malicious shit like this, make your voice heard about this

Atlanta showed out @ Flock HQ to make it clear: people everywhere want FLOCK OUT NOW! Atlanta is the most surveilled city in the country, with 124 cameras per 1000 people. Each camera putting immigrants, abortion seekers, and other criminalized communities at risk. www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/vide...

kinda getting washed at sonic which is fine because it means im getting better at other things

Burger Flippers 153: Here Comes Trouble

again we need to fight this, call your reps and senators, blow up their phones with you calls, flood their emails, etc, this is very dangerous thing they're doing and they either don't know it or worse, likely know it, show them that we are not happy with this and the so called "Child safety online"

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Proton's CEO says age-verification is okay so long as its "strictly confined to areas like pornography and social media." Let me tell you how misguided this is — especially from the head of a "privacy first" company. 🧵

Yyeeaa, if you wanna know why I left STEM, here you go

I’m still pissed this happened, and it hasn’t even been a day since seeing this. What was a promising project. A love letter to beloved fighting games. A project that had everything + more put into an old game, gone, because treating people like people is impossible nowadays.

Re: 'H.R. 8250' "Parents Decide Act". This bill wants to force age verification on the operating system level. If you see one of your reps listed below, CALL THEM so we can kill this in committee www.congress.gov/members/find...

Tomic & Nancy.💙🤍

Calls your reps and senators to disapproved if this, the less of these Age-gate BS better and the fact this has 1% chance that it's pass is bit of a relief

Also Govtrack currently has it at 1% chance of passing at all. Call your reps if only for peace of mind of course but I don’t see this bill getting far before the session ends.

New US Congress bill proposal requires all operating system providers to verify ages #Gaming #USA #PCGaming #US #AgeVerification

i know it can be hard to stomach the constant shitstorm the government throws your way but becoming a defeatist and giving up arent options, you have to call and email and make your voices heard if you want change to happen

Everytime you think "ah finally, a good use for AI", you should step back and realize that such a response is exactly the kind of wedge corpos are trying to drive between laborers Everyone's expertise and craft is "finally a good use for AI" to those outside the field. Learn solidarity please
