It took me four minutes to call and leave a message for both my Democratic senators. This is a great script. Let them know that this isn’t going to work.

Here's a great rundown of the latest version of #KOSA from the EFF:
www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
In a nutshell, they're now saying it only regulates content "recommended" to users. But that means platforms will have to deboost or bury LGBTQIA+ content to comply.

SCOOP: The Kansas newspaper raided Friday by cops had been investigating allegations of sexual misconduct by the chief of police at his previous job.

![excerpt from link: EM: So the backstory that we haven't told, because we don't wanna get in trouble, is that we've been investigating the police chief [Gideon Cody]. When he was named Chief just two months ago, we got an outpouring of calls from his former co-workers making a wide array of allegations against him saying that he was about to be demoted at his previous job and that he retired to avoid demotion and punishment over sexual misconduct charges and other things.
We had half a dozen or more different anonymous sources calling in about that. Well, we never ran that because we never could get any of them to go on the record, and we never could get his personnel file. But the allegations—including the identities of who made the allegations—were on one of the computers that got seized. I may be paranoid that this has anything to do with it, but when people come and seize your computer, you tend to be a little paranoid.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreia6voh4vd6xqohfa6zfzn56ifbrq3lsbbbkpgi4b32zt7x73ml2iu@jpeg)

The other thing that I would hope people learned from his last term is... it truly doesn't matter what he "can" or "can't" do.
With no one in power willing to stop him from doing it, he can. That's all there is to it.
He can pardon himself if he wins because no one in power wants to fight it.

In case you're wondering what you can do:
1. Speak out in support of the Teamsters.
It's the summer of strikes between WGA, SAG (TBD), + now Teamsters. There's a reason for that.
2. Push your electeds to speak out in support too.
This should really be a no-brainer, but the more, the better.

ok so what happened was.
in 2018, California passed prop 12, which required that pigs, chickens, and cattle all get a certain amount of space to move around. the chicken and cattle industries complied. the pork industry, however, was like "no we need to cram the pigs in cages" and sued to stop it.
