KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

The cease fire arrangement is good if it lets some more food get into Gaza, but few people there have confidence in it, and even in the best case scenario they could be living like this for years. Samaa still needs help to take care of her family. gofund.me/db56c7ce3 @mommunism.bsky.social #SkyAid 🍉

Talking to folx in prison reminds me that people have been living with extreme authoritarian conditions, including censorship and denial of trans health care, prior to this moment. Let's listen when they tell us how to get through it and what they need. #solidarity truthout.org/articles/bei...

Being Trans Behind Bars in Florida Was Already Hard. Under Trump, It’s Worse.

Trans people in prison are at the front lines of the increased targeting that trans people are facing under Trump.

It absolutely could pair with so much. Tho I think it works especially well with TDR since they’re both movies about the old terror dying and the new terror being born, the evolution of the American monster from Bela Lugosi to DHS

There are movies, like Dead Ringers and Titane, that I would include on this list but I personally don’t think they’re horror movies so I left them off.
