When calling, emphasize the overreach that this gives the tech industry and how it gives them an excuse to collect even more sensitive data. Some of these people think they're holding big tech accountable. Emphasize to them that they're not. We've beat SCREEN for now, but this is still an issue.
‼️ALERT: KOSA is moving next week to the Senate Commerce Committee for markup! Call your reps today, again tomorrow, and all weekend leaving messages opposing this dangerous censorship bill. www.badinternetbills.com
THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!
SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

high key looking for an artist to commission a big fossil design for a tattoo. If you are someone with a spookier/realistic ish style and available comment here I'll dm! ❤️
SCREEN failed to pass out of committee, despite a 15-13 vote (in favor). Not enough members voting, but looks like a party line vote. Good work everyone! Keep up the pressure for after recess and beyond!
If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.
KOSA did pass out, which is not entirely surprising given that it had a near unanimous vote in the Senate last year... but it doesn't seem like they're any closer to reconciling with the House. Notable that there was quorum for KOSA but not for SCREEN. I guess everyone was just running late today!
"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."

Wait this art/flavor text is so lovely oh my heart
While the SCREEN Act failed in the committee, KOSA did move forward. Contact your senators immediately demanding it be opposed, and keep the pressure up until it comes to a vote in the Senate
The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
Juri's win quote vs Yasmine really should be for Lily lmao
That new movie had me reminiscing about my Spider-Man vs Venom art from last year
