NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety"

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

Seriously, KOSA must never come to pass! It's in direct violation of constitutional rights and will only endanger everyone.

Call your reps, all of them, and tell them they must oppose KOSA!

Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · 12d

KOSA is now in red alert priority.

Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA

We need to turn out in numbers against this!

"My reps are all conservative and do what they want anyway so I can't call about KOSA"

This bill has died multiple times before and it's because people told their reps they don't like it, especially the red ones

Please call your reps about KOSA today. Especially if they're Republican. This is THE priority

alpha @omarsbigsister.bsky.social · 12d

Are you kidding me right now? This is the last thing we need. KOSA is back no thanks to Senator Blumenthal who is working with the GOP and bringing in Republican Senators to convince the House to support it.

Please, CALL GOP House leadership and tell them to keep opposing it!

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

The priority ratings are based on things like, how far along each bill is in the overall process, number of cosponsors, whether the bill has failed before, the bill's govtrack "likelihood to be enacted" percentage etc

KOSA and STOP CSAM act of 2025 are the most threatening by a country mile

I'm telling you, KOSA (and its coauthors) has a real knack for coming back at the dumbest fucking times.

So, let's remind politicians why we don't fucking want it.
