The chill otter makes their enamel pin debut in rainbow metal, swimming through a blue pond full of pink and purple lilies. It reads “Let your worries float on Bi.”

The Chaotic Queer Cat sits proudly at the top of a ledge, their rainbow cloak billowing in the wind. An onlooker complains “uhg, its not even pride month.” The onlooker begins to jeer “hey loser! I identify as an attack helicop-“ but he never finished that sentence. In his eagerness to taunt, he failed to notice the cat hunker down and gulp repeatedly before barfing up jet stream of rainbow down onto him. “OH GOD!” he wails from offscreen.

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through.

Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours.

#SaveSpeech

US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230.

Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

Bipartisan Push in Congress to Weaken Section 230, Expand Online Surveillance, and Increase Platform Liability

Calls for platform accountability came with few answers about who decides what speech is acceptable.

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY.

Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

NEW: The Social Security Administration's chief data officer has blown the whistle, saying Trump's DOGE team uploaded a database containing the hundreds of millions of Social Security records of most Americans to an AWS cloud server, allegedly without proper access controls or monitoring in place.
