We know 8. There are eight Democrats in the gang, enough to break a filibuster on a funding bill. They are: Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Gary Peters (D-MI), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Peter Welch (D-VT), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI). Add Cortez Masto

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Thanks y’all for spreading this around, I really appreciate it 🧡 I am still open and unfortunately have received no comm applications at all yet 😰 I’m disabled and this is my sole income, so continued shares really help!!

PLEASE vote in local elections–mayors (of small towns, even), board members, etc. They have a direct effect on your life AND are currently the last line of defense against destructive federal policies. In many places so few people vote for city council etc. that your 1 vote can change the result

Heya fuzzies! I am open for some comm slots for Nov/Dec! Will be completed by Dec 25th, so holiday gifts are cool with me~ I’m offering a discount of 🔟 off listed prices! ✨ Pricing/Examples: ✨ trello.com/b/oD8Erzpd/c... ✨ Process/Comm App Form: ✨ trello.com/c/N85rLH2c/1...

Sometimes I'll see notifications that don't show up in my replies, or vice-versa, and figured I was just being forgetful or oblivious. I much prefer mastodon, and only came here because many people fleeing twitter came only-here first. If they really are shadowbanning on top of everything else...

And remember, a lot of them have been told to disengage when the morality is brought up. If you encounter that: "As a shareholder, I expect more responsibility with my investment than denying a legal stream of income. If this continues I will have to sell for damage control," has worked well for me.

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

Remember that this is about endurance, if you called before and ran out of steam, you can always start calling again! The longer this goes on,even with breaks inbetween, the more money it costs them. We can and will get them to give in eventually. bsky.app/profile/dies...

Hey so HEADS UP ABOUT THIS!!! www.canva.com/policies/pri... Canva EXPLICITLY STATES that they WILL use your work to train AI and ML models. In Section 2 they explicitly state that, as well as examples of what they'll train on. I recommend AGAINST "Affinity by Canvas;" get a V2 license if you can.

both parts of this matter: this would be a near ban in all states; there’s a runway here where fighting back helps hold up falling sky for trans kids. every day matters. & if you’re like “it’ll be fine—they’ll just wait til after trump” i want you to recall what happened to *your* body from 14-17.

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

Feeding America is a great organization to donate to, 98% of the money goes to programs and services and for each dollar they can provide 10 meals. If you donate $5 that’s 50 meals. It’s a national org that rescues, stores and distributes food to foodbanks and pantries. www.feedingamerica.org

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions. Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail. Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos. Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

I'm finally out of the hospital...

@davidxnewton.bsky.social I thought that name looked familiar! I loved your videos breaking down how MyHouse.wad worked - entertaining, informative, easy to follow, and thorough. Even as someone who loved the wad already, they gave me a whole new appreciation for it.

@corriezodori.bsky.social Figured you might like some of this merch, if you haven't already seen it. ;3

@caudlewag.bsky.social I'm guessing this size difference is a little too different for your tastes, but I thought it was absurdly cute, and of course I can't see these two without thinking of you. ;3 www.furaffinity.net/view/62520788/

I don't live in california anymore so i'm yelling at people who do- bully him and the people around him SO Much.

0.03% It's sad. It's infuriating. But 0.03%. We're allowing our country to bow to the 0.03%. But I'm heartened. We're bigger than them. We're stronger than them. We can, and SHOULD, be LOUDER than them. Use your voice and fuck allowing them to try and silence US. We got this.

But really do not let this moment pass you up, call your reps and beat them over the head with evidence that ID verification will lead to uncontrollable sensitive information leaks and identity theft

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

OH DEAR I've met Rudolf several times, I've put on his fursuit head, he is a sweetheart who does not deserve this. Terrible stuff, toss him some change if you can.

This shit makes me so mad because people don't understand how much power we have over these companies and the only thing we need to do is not give them money. The only thing we need to do is to not do anything. It's the easiest shit! *wearily* collective action does work, it really does

They're trying real hard to gain mass control over what we're allowed to say and do online, regardless of it being lawful free speech or expression. Call your reps y'all. It's worked before and can work again. We CAN beat this, but only if we rally together. www.house.gov/representati...

Long haul yall, it is making a difference. We don't know how we're affecting things behind the scenes until we know.

Important to consider: this isnt about trying to slice a head off a dragon, this is about being a really obnoxious prickly and painful burr stuck on the dragon's back where it cant reach

One of the sillier aspects of combating issues like this is that as the corpos start to realize they don’t actually have wide support, they start going silent. CS did the same after about the 3rd week The lack of feedback can have a pseudo-chilling effect on activists, don’t let it Do those dailies

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

And yeah, they'll be back. It's going to get a lot worse. It's going to suck ass for a long time in America, but they aren't invulnerable, they're just empowered bullies and like all bullies, they can't handled working harder than they're supposed to and they can't stand being thwarted. 10/

Oh wow this is huge. Haha wouldn't it be crazy if I was in there. I'll just check quickly. There's no way- *ding* I'm in the database? And not just once either??

@zyleeth.bsky.social @zivamonstr.bsky.social Dunno if either of you will have info, but I figure you've got the best shot of anyone I know.

Selectively revoking constitutional rights for vulnerable minority groups is a GIGANTIC red flag. The reddest possible flag.
