On the @fightforthefuture.org livestream, somebody (maybe Jibran Ludwig) talked about how they're a lot less likely to add something to a must-pass bill if they think it's "controversial". So lots of calls reminds everybody that yes, KOSA et all are indeed "controversial"

remember your calls have worked as @fightforthefuture.org has even said we got 10 dems to oppose kosa for good or bad reasons that's more then we expected but it shows our calls have power so keep calling and keep fighting!
Yes I do believe calling does something. KOSA was shot down before because people called. It can be done again and can save prop 230

I’m Nour, 21, a queer woman displaced in Gaza. I live alone in a tent after losing everything to the war. I face hunger, fear, and trauma every day—and rejection from my own community because of my identity. I’m asking my LGBTQ+ family for help. Your donation or share brings me closer to safety.

Age-verification laws were poorly designed and have been poorly executed. Something we all warned about from the beginning.
Now, to cover their asses, the government is coming up with additional restrictions and additional surveillance.
And when this also fails, they'll go even further.

Guys you can't ban VPN for kids without ALSO severely restricting the ability of adults to use VPNs without surveillance.
If this were proposed in Saudi Arabia or Myanmar or Hungary or Belarus, the British government would rightly call this what it is: a mandate for censorship.

We often forget how little $5 really is it disappears on a coffee, a snack, or something we don’t even remember. But for someone hungry or fighting to survive, that same $5 can mean a warm meal or the strength to make it through another day.

While it's still important to call your reps to make sure Section 230 is protected and censorship bills like KOSA are killed, there are silver linings.
These ideas they're pushing are way too chaotic and unpopular, and they can fall apart. We keep fighting and we don't give up. That's how we win.

Now, before everybody panics and runs around like headless chickens, they have yet to introduce the bill, and Graham and Whitehouse have tried to pass this before and failed. The previous versions have never made it past the introduction stage.

With Black Friday/Cyber Monday done, its best to settle back into 'marathon' call routines rather than the 'sprint' we had for the weekend.
if you did participate in calling Visa and MC this past weekend though, thank you! We have to keep going, but every call matters!

Jose’s legs were crushed & his family can’t contact him or ensure he’s getting medical attention.
Rodney Taylor has been held since March without access to his prosthetics.
Bayron Marin had his leg broken & was chained to a hospital bed under a fake name for 37 days

UPDATE: I've heard from Jose's family. He's apparently been transferred to an ICE detention center in TX, but it's been days since they've been able to speak with him.
He needs medical care and to be able to speak with his family and lawyer. This obscene cruelty helps no one.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained.
His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing.
He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.
