Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE.

Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Hey guys, I hate to push this again, but I can’t afford rent on top of this bill AND pre existing bills that are automatically withdrawn from my account ($400 monthly).

If you could donate or share, anything is appreciated 🩷

I'm very tired of the hyper resurgence of his/hers level of cosmetics in gaming. Worse it's monetized with a tax attached.

Card
MASTERCARD

VISA
Visa and Mastercard have long histories with pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, they have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.

Your goal is mostly to waste their time and therefore their money.
Pose as a confused customer "just asking for clarification" about things relating to the Itch/Steam censorship controversy.
Paypro
PAYPAL
+
STRIPE
Paypal and Stripe have their own histories with action against adult content. Like the credit card companies, they have both pressured Steam and Itch.io, with Itch calling out Stripe as a priority target, and Steam no longer being able to process certain currencies using Paypal.

Same as the CARDS. Waste time, waste money, eventually try to segue into censorship of adult content as a topic.
CITIBANK

WELLS FARGO
Both Paypal and Stripe have indicated that their banking partners have also been a source of ant- Adult Content pressure.
While there are MANY banks associated with paypros, these 3 are prime initial targets.

For now, begin by treating banks the same as how the CARDS and PAYPROS were early on. Call in, make explicit complaints re: Adult Content...

WCK’s mobile bakery in Gaza is currently producing 45,000 loaves of bread every day. With more supplies, including flour and fuel, we'd be able to more than double that daily output and support more Palestinian families in need. #ChefsForGaza
