despite the supposed improbability of the kids act passing in both the senate and the house, we still need to treat it like it might. this bill, and others like it, need to be stopped dead in their tracks.

NEW: Meta backing KOSA further exposes what we've been saying all along: KOSA isn't about Big Tech accountability. It's actually a gift to Silicon Valley giants, letting them continue data harvesting while leaving their predatory business model untouched. www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-06...

‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...

they're imprisoning people for decades over a noise demonstration. this isn't getting anywhere near the attention it should be.

There is going to be new movement on KOSA next week Contact your representatives and demand that they oppose KOSA and the KIDS Act www.congress.gov/members/find...

can this fucking ai bubble pop already??

Hey guys, check this out: Stop Killing Games is launching a sister campaign, Stop Killing the Internet, fighting against government grip of an open internet. www.stopkillingtheinternet.com

Another reminder that we gotta bully them again into not doing this :}

Social media bans are unconstitutional, discriminatory, and deeply misguided. If we don’t trust tech companies with our private information now, we shouldn't pass laws that force us to give them even more of it. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

(political post) yeah, those bills are still there. keep calling your senators and reps 5calls.org capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 and say no to 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

Mandatory age verification and the banning modern public towns squares for young people is, and forever will be, governmental and societal abdication of responsibility so that those in charge don't actually have to dare hold big tech accountable for the very real public harm they can foster.

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

Please take the time to contact your representatives and demand that KOSA and other bills are OPPOSED You dont need a big script, you just need to say "i dont want this, oppose these bills" www.congress.gov/members/find...

Nice thing to see on my way home.

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

NEW ESSAY: Origins of the Anti-Trans “Groomer” Slur. it provides historical context, a timeline of how it spread, & how it shapes anti-trans/LGBTQ legislation. pls share! on Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/origins-of-t... & Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/origins-of...

This bill is legitimately the thing we've been waiting for. Forcing AI to reveal it's sources would cripple it, because it literally can't comply with the law, because all of it is stolen- they didn't record it Please sign to hasten the bubble popping

There's nothing more cool than being yourself❤️

Five nights at Freddys guy can continuously donate to republicans, jk Rowling can ruin entire branches of politics with a hatred legal defense fund, but the digital circus and Steven universe creators were queer and made choices fans didn't like and for that they get hate campaigns to ruin them.

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

Fucking stop using fucking Spotify just fucking stop. There are no excuses. If you're an indie artist and you prop up Spotify because you think it helps you you're part of the problem. Stop using it to listen. Stop using it to host your music.

[🎉VICTORY!🎉] senate bill S3591 has been defeated in the internet & technology committee! while the fight is still on, especially regarding the two other bills currently floating around in other committees, this is no doubt a huge win for the citizens of new york and their internet privacy!

[🚨REMINDER🚨] tomorrow's the day when the internet & technology committee will decide whether or not to force new yorkers to give away their biometric data to access "pornographic websites." not only is this a massive invasion of privacy, but could also be weaponized to silence minority voices. 🧵

CALL YOUR REPS NOW! SPREAD THE WORD! HR 2616 was snuck onto the calendar for a vote TOMORROW. This is a pro book banning bill which seeks to ban ALL books by or about trans individuals.

“Schumer must draw a clear line and protect the privacy rights of New Yorkers afforded by the Constitution: Senate Democrats cannot give this administration a blank check for mass warrantless surveillance.” - S.T.O.P. Executive Director Michelle Dahl www.syracuse.com/opinion/2026...

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

In Kansas, a judge looked at the medical evidence on gender-affirming care and found the evidence simply does not support the state ban on these treatments. Don't believe the propaganda. Youth trans care is not a particularly tricky or nuanced medical question. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

[🚨URGENT🚨] the internet & technology committee is holding a vote on S3591, a bill aiming to age-gate "pornographic material", on the 21st of may. do NOT let them pass this obstruction of free speech. @fightforthefuture.org @fsc.bsky.social @eff.org @nyclu.org @stopspyingny.bsky.social

they’ll never admit it but the transphobic agenda end point is murder of trans people. the transphobe wants society alienated away from us, repulsed by us, so disturbed by us that the only thing that can enter their mind is our literal eradication

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

hey @governor.ny.gov: get the hint. boston, and massachusetts as a whole, doesn't want invasive id verification just to access the internet. why are you trying to subject new york to the same unconstitutional dribble?

Annoy the living daylights out of both payment processors and your local government. Never let them know peace while they are disturbing yours.

Yep, nothing like admitting you’re a criminal.

Discord so desperate to stem the bleeding of Nitro cancellations they now have to convince other companies to offer free stuff (because Discord themselves can’t give enough of an offer alone). Don’t fall for it. Keep cancelling & stay unsubscribed. Xbox (Microsoft) also supports AI programs anyway.

Politicians around the world are pushing for laws that would turn the Internet into a mass surveillance machine. . . 🪡🧵 theintercept.com/2026/03/05/k...

Solid reporting on why "age verification and age assurance" are just fancy ways of saying "online identity checks" and why lawmakers have much better ways to address online harm if they'd just listen to experts and impacted communities www.governing.com/policy/state...

"The stakes are high. If one of these “kick the kids off and spy on everyone” bills passes in a state like Massachusetts, these draconian bills will be copied and pasted to every other blue state in the country faster than activists can fight them. We have to make our stand here."
