We only have about a week before most legislators go out for a holiday recess, so i recommend giving your reps a call to oppose bad internet bills!

![Hi there, My name is (your name) and I am calling to oppose multiple harmful internet bills that are moving through Congress right now. I oppose all bills that mandate online ID checks, infringe upon our constitutional right to free speech on the internet, enable government policing of online resources, and threaten end-to-end encryption. If you truly care about young people’s experience on the internet, you should pass comprehensive data privacy legislation and oppose any bill that forces Internet users to submit to ID checks or would censor the internet, like the SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and KOSA
additionally, I want to advocate for section 230, which I have seen multiple legislators call for repealing. Section 230 is integral to a free and open internet, and repealing it would destroy the internet as we know it and countless livelihoods. I do not want to see section 230 repealed, I want to see it protected.
[optional]
here is a list of bills that i believe must be opposed due to either increasing censorship, or surveillance:
The Kids Online Safety Act
SCREEN Act
App Store Accountability Act
Stop CSAM act of 2025
Sammy's law
RESET Act
GAMING Act
Safe Messaging for Kids Act
Parents Over Platforms Act](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xawhcpoqu6pdxpp72fd43wuf/bafkreic3czewlpy3x4hv3egoajd2mrknydxc6ecu42ionk5ur4ilowi2uy@jpeg)

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House
support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

This is today! Please call your reps!
Tomorrow the 11th, there will be a markup on various "child safety" bills
This is part of the process where they are debated and amended before moving forward
It is a good idea to make some rep calls TODAY and make it clear which bills are currently unacceptable and why

#savespeech #stopKOSA
ATTENTION! The House of Energy and Commerce has pushed a package of(now 18) "child safety" bills to a subcommittee markup.
This means the bills will be likely voted on to go to a FULL committee markup, which sends it out to the House.
Call the Committee. Tell them to vote NO

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.
The coup was over in hours because people said no.

It's really easy to fall into 'There's nothing good anymore' doomerism right now. That's just your depression talking. Take out the gremlin running your brain and beat it with sticks.

Someone in my Discord this morning went "there's no good music being made anymore"
Don't give in to thoughts like that, for any kind of art. Even as AI slop is shoved into the forefront, there is, and will always be, actual art that is being made
And tbh its been a great decade for music so far.
