you either listen to the Pope or you’re a Protestant, there’s not really any in between, we’ve literally litigated that several times in the past #Schism2ImmigrantBoogaloo
I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.
“How did you receive the foreigner? And did you receive him and welcome him or not?”
Pope Leo XIV challenges us to reflect on the moral cost of policies that target deeply-root immigrants and families.

if they were really concerned AND had any kind of consistent beliefs, they would adopt the V-chip approach like we did with TVs and mandate that parents be allowed to set a content filter on their kids’ devices. then sites, like TV shows, would have to set a content rating
but no, they want control

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.

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

I had no idea Instagram had picked it up and are using it as a promotion. It's absolutely disgusting. She is a minor."
She said she would have refused consent and
"not for any money in the world would I let them use a girl dressed in a school uniform to get people on to [its platform]".
With 267 followers, her Instagram account usually had modest reach but the post of her child attracted nearly 7,000 views, 90% from non-followers, half of whom were aged over 44 and 90% of whom were men.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e6n7jxtu2qrhwvp3j6ib6sq6/bafkreifubzlsmsmile66hgipb2iik7brevojazghbkvjc5o3ivnlowf6u4@jpeg)

breaking them up and hoping local stations go back to normal fact-based news?

My heuristic is that 95% of Americans have literally no idea what’s happening in DC, and given our information environment, there is effectively no mechanism to get them to know what’s happening.
We couldn’t possibly be in a worse information environment for what’s happening. Which is probably, in part, why it’s happening.

yep. though we also need to radically increase taxation at the top so the Bribe Jobs are not so lucrative
the most antipopularist and simultaneously best policy position to hold: we need to pay our legislators, all of them, like three times their current salaries or they will get the money somewhere else
It's deliberate. State legislatures are often designed to enfranchise only the wealthiest and most powerful in a given state.
Oregon has a similar problem; our state legislator pay is dirt, so you usually get someone cowed by big money or otherwise privileged somehow

Said it before but the worse things get it bears repeating. You are not a ‘creative’ or a ‘maker.’ You’re an artist, & if you choose to distinguish, a playwright, painter, whatever. These words have a lineage, they mean something. They’re politically important. Take responsibility.
