It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

Fuck @stop_antisemitism for going after Ms Rachel.

Pretty clear they care more about defending Israel genocide than combating actual antisemitism.

Being on the autism spectrum does not by any means make using the R slur any less gross, nor does it give you permission to "reclaim" it. There are people with other mental or physical disabilities that the term is still very much harmful towards.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

Feels like "missing" is inaccurate. This child was kidnapped by the secret police and is now either a political prisoner or a trafficking victim.

Look, I know this is a scary situation we’re in right now, but please don’t let up!

Call your Senators and reps to oppose KOSA and the other 18 child “safety” bills, call the E&C committee and tell them how dissatisfied you were, and tell your family and friends about this! #SaveSpeech
Some key takeaways from today’s hearing:

-Many acknowledged that Senate KOSA is a threat to free expression.

-Bills discussed have similar issues to KOSA, esp online ID checks.

-The bad idea that surveillance + censorship will keep kids safe online drove the discussion.

KEEP AT EM! ✊
NEW: We hosted a live-stream of today's House Energy & Commerce committee hearing to provide commentary + analysis as Congress considers bills that would mandate online ID checks across the internet and censor very important resources for young people.

Everyone who does computer things knows KOSA would be a disaster and yet they keep trying

NOW: Congress is holding a hearing on 19(!) kids safety bills and several would age-gate/censor the internet, particularly for LGBTQ youth.

I personally feel that Visa and Mastercard should get out of the censorship game altogether.

But while there are in it, they should be censoring bullies (who cause active harm) at least as vehemently as they are censoring spicy artists (who harm no one).

Therefore, if Visa and Mastercard are currently condoning and financing bullying.

We can and should call them about their decision to endorse TPUSA and its policy of bullying.

If I can’t buy Diablo 2 on Steam, why can someone donate to TPUSA to bully teachers or trans people?

Thought:
Turning Point USA is funded by Visa and Mastercard — those payment processors appear on its donation page.

Visa and Mastercard are currently censoring art and media for crimes like “having cat ears.”

TPUSA is currently advocating for bullying teachers and children.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
