Progressive lawmakers who care about human rights desperately need to connect these dots.
You can't claim to oppose the Trump admin's authoritarian crackdowns while supporting legislation that would expand Trump's censorship and surveillance powers.
Protect activists! Oppose online ID checks.

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.
If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

A very good point. While calling out corporations is important, our government is trying to force av laws like KOSA and SCREEN on EVERYONE under the guise of "protecting kids". Call your reps + tell them to OPPOSE these bad bills. #SaveSpeech #Stopageverification #StopKOSA

Screenshotting this and alt texting all of it since it will most likely get deleted because Hammam is Palestinian. It deserves to be seen and not erased.
![A post by Hammam, a known Palestinian nurse here. It is a wuote by an account of a man named Nathan Kalman Lamb who is posting an excerpt from an article. The article reads:
Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies "the rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp saw—a medical saw, a bone saw-and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken." Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either alive-via brain death-or just-dead—via circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisoners' torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier can't. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts as-is—a soldier.
Nathan says hes honestly speechless.
Hammam quotes him to say:
The director of the hospital where I work, Al-Shifa Hospital, stated that the occupation forces returned the bodies of women whose organs were missing. Another source also reported that the occupation forces were using a school in northern Gaza to detain women & civilians and harvest their organs](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ztkrqibfkvmwtfa64r25n4sv/bafkreifs4clyqslx544scmacf6lhpruangn2nnhs4cypijdl2t43amj7ay@jpeg)

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?
The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.
Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.
What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.
[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]
