The KIDS Act is facing serious headwinds in the Senate, with Marsha Blackburn getting pushback from both Cruz and the White House on what should be in the bill, and what can pass. — via @benbrodydc.bsky.social. Cruz says he'll vote for it, but doesn't believe it has the votes.

Hey, a good way to celebrate Lindsey Graham kicking the bucket is to contact your senators about KOSA and the KIDS Act. Graham was a big proponent of these kinds of laws, as well as of gutting section 230.

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

Before any of you all go "BuT tHiS wOn'T aFfEcT mE", yes if will. It will affect EVERYONE. Not jusy here on bluesky, on EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. You would have to give up your fucking ID info just to use ANYTHING on the internet. It's mass surveillance. theintercept.com/2026/06/28/a...

Online Age Verification Law Could Kill Whistleblowing

The KIDS Act, ostensibly aimed at protecting children, will raise the risk for journalists, dissidents, and whistleblowers.

There's reasons KOSA keeps getting gummed up in congress and we cannot assume it's not at least in part due to our pushback. Please call!

Sex workers have been banging the drum that moral panics around porn are a fascist project for years and years and people on this website still go "but it's ickyyyyy it's probably baaad for socieeetyyy"

A new op-ed in the Washington Times finally says the quiet part out loud: Fascism demands sexual repression. "Pornography corrodes the exact social foundation that supports national strength... A society marked by loneliness, weakened families and diminished social trust becomes brittle."

So close to achieving this goal. Please keep spreading the word, and donate if you can!

The late great Bob McKnight's artwork is at risk of being seized and destroyed if something isn't done about it. His dearest friend and mentee Rob Griggs has set up a GoFundMe to help save his property, including his extensive art archives. Bob LOVED animation and it's history, help preserve it!

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

This is a monstrous bill. Just horrific. And it's progressing, so the time to call is now.

HR 2616, a national "Don't Say Trans" bill, has passed the House. Here's what it is, what it means, and what you should do right now to help kill the bill intended to bully children and erase trans people from public schools. bookriot.com/hr-2616-dont...

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Tell the FCC that LGBTQ Stories Don’t Need a Warning Label | GLAAD

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous...

Please contact your reps and demand they oppose the GUARD Act www.congress.gov/members/find...

Electronic Frontier Foundation@eff.org · 5mo ago

Congress is moving quickly on the revised GUARD Act. The bill still requires intrusive age-verification and has massive penalties under vague standards. Tell Congress to oppose it: act.eff.org/action/tell...

And I mean cmon, how could anyone NOT love Mark Hamill 😉 @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

MAGA is big mad at this post from Mark Hamill saying he wants Donald Trump to… …live? 🤣

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

They’re trying to ram through KOSA, a full Section 230 repeal, and a slew of other anti-LGBTQ censorship and surveillance laws under the guise of “cracking down on AI” and a ton of dumb leftists are falling for it.

Wow, turns out vaccines during pregnancy are... safe and effective, even protecting babies! Incredible! Truly shocking! It's almost like science works?!💉🛡️👶 This admin keeps peddling COVID-19 antivax nonsense, but science prevails.💪 Science: 2,978,547 🧠🪱: -785

Yep, a mom's COVID shot during pregnancy protects her baby, a large study finds

A 3-year study published in Pediatrics examined newborns in Norway. It found a clear benefit for the baby when mom gets a COVID vaccination during pregnancy.

This is the worst, and I know we're all going through it, so just even a quick reblog would help immensely😭🙏 ko-fi.com/milkcioccola... www.patreon.com/c/milkciocco...

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD. You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it. I've made my calls today. You need to.

Dieselbrain@dieselbrain.bsky.social · 7mo ago

The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

What if I were to just scream?

Standing up against these laws, both in the USA and numerous other nations, is integral for a whole host of issues Gaza? Minnesota? Venezuela? If these and more matter to you, then you need to get active because these laws will handicap any online organizing for MANY causes

Gilbert #NewDeal4Animation@discord12395.bsky.social · 8mo ago

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 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...
