Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

It really sucks that Microsoft sunk its claws into so much of the game industry and is attached to a ton of games I wanna play. What sucks even more is supporting genocide, which is something Microsoft loves doing. I’m very in favor of Microsoft fucking off until it stops loving genocide so much.

In the wake of a massive confirmation that the tech industry’s run by deranged pedophiles, not a single tech platform should have the balls to start demanding ID and enacting invasive policies. Yet they continue. They’re the ones being outed as dangerous and we’re the ones being regulated.

While cancelling Nitro is all well and good, just a reminder that age verification itself won't go away as a whole unless KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and tons more are buried and done with. Please contact your reps if you don't want this to spread to other platforms.

Before Keith Porter, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti… ICE killed a father after he dropped his kids off at school. We didn’t hear much about it because he was undocumented. They said he was trying to flee & shot him in the back of the neck. Silverio Villegas-González. Don’t forget him.

The GUARD Act’s sponsors claim it will keep our children safe, but that’s not true. It will undermine safety and autonomy by replacing parental guidance with government mandates and building mass surveillance infrastructure instead of privacy controls.

Way back before the tumblr NSFW ban, I would kinda meticulously use tags for people to give them a content heads up. Tumblr used that to just mass delete everything. People still posted NSFW stuff. They just stopped tagging it. Crack downs like this make things worse for everyone..
