Everyone keep calling your reps. Tell them to vote no and oppose this.

Keep hammering at them; they’ve backed down before, so we can do it again. Make this such a career ending idea that no one will ever want to touch it.

Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker. It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

🚨KOSA, app store restrictions and ID checks are expected to be reviewed by House Energy and Commerce Committee this week, bringing us that much closer to a censored Internet under the guise of “kids safety"! We have to keep up the pressure against these bills! www.badinternetbills.com

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home. That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous. Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed. www.badinternetbills.com

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

"There is no scientific evidence to support the assumption that banning minors from accessing services would have a positive effect on their mental health and development." www.politico.eu/article/age-...

This story about Microsoft banning the word "microslop" from their official discord is mainly confusing me because Huh, there's an official Microsoft discord? I figured they'd be hosting that sort of thing on something they ran themselves. Microsoft Comic Chat or something

It bothers me that there’s still folks out there that are like “yeah I’m on bluesky but I’m still mostly on Twitter.” Fucking give up that follower high score number, that’s the only reason you’re there.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration: Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure. Its a horrifying escalation.

It's good that Anthropic had at least some red lines they would not cross. They're still doing real harm. It's bad that OpenAI took advantage and jumped into bed with a fascist government. In the end, we can't trust companies to set rules We need LAWS that ban the use of AI for surveillance & war

Today, US & Israeli forces bombed the Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Iran’s capital of Tehran. Nurses supposedly risked their lives carrying newborns to safety from the rubble. I’m having trouble finding more reporting about this, but here is at least a blurb from Reuters:

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.

i just think if you're biggest critique of AI is about copyright you're telling on yourself. AI surveillance could end human liberty as we know it AI decision making threatens permanently bake systemic racism & patriarchy into every aspect of society "you stole my song" is just... idgaf man

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

I Believe...

Today is a great day to donate to the ALCU of Kansas! www.aclukansas.org

My entire adult life

CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON NOW!!!!!! Tell them: — NO to KOSA — NO to Section 230 reform — NO to the SCREEN Act — NO to the App Store Accountability Act —NO age verification laws —NO to digital ID systems

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

ChatGPT is shedding users fast. Since yesterday alone, estimates suggest more than a million accounts have been deleted and the boycott continues to gain momentum. Incredible work, everyone!

it's probably not fair to refer to Roblox as The Pedophile Sweatshop for a lot of reasons as it's such a heavyhanded and sweeping accusation but Roblox also needs to stop consistently putting kids into a digital sweatshop with pedophiles in it

www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news... - glad to have been among this number.

Expecting us – with good reason based on history – to all thank them for their service. Fuck your service and fuck you. Saving a life is brave. Being instructed to kill and saying no I will not do that is brave. But killing like this? It is the least human thing you can do.

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

Also the only really smart critique in a movie of violent video games which is not that they make kids violent but that the military would use gaming to recruit kids and the intentional blurring of gaming and drone warfare would intentionally blur war. bsky.app/profile/maxk...

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas. This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people. This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

Wanted to draw an alien Miku!!

Update: Trump announces end of business with Anthropic, unclear if they are going to invoke supply chain risk designation. Calls it a “radical left, woke company” after it rejects demands for AI usage in mass American surveillance and autonomous killing drones. Wild timeline.

Never heard of this law before right this second but holy fuck if it does not 100% check out

My weirdest creation is almost old enough to drink.

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

Persist against all odds

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass. You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

just want to add to this-- calling is VERY easy. I have not called a single rep that had a live person answering the phone. you dont have anything to be nervous about!~ you might feel it cathartic actually. historically I am super super phone-averse but it's genuinely so easy and takes 2 minutes.

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

Go to Common Cause .org and call and email your representatives. If you leave a short message once a week or every other day, they will listen to you. www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

here's the veto override vote for this dogshit kansas legislation. i hope all 87 yea votes have not a single moment of peace on this earth for the rest of their pathetic, bigoted lives: www.kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/...

every trans girl is fighting a secret fight that you can solve by giving her 20 thousand dollars

alright no more screamin' at the internet today Call your Senators and Reps about KOSA, defending section 230, IODA, and the SCREEN act. www.badinternetbills.com

In principle, of course, the First Amendment lets you say this with or without 230. In practice, it’s unlikely most platforms would take the risk of permitting you to say it without a liability shield.
