This, of course, follows the draconian trans healthcare ban the Catholic Church imposed across its massive network of hospitals, doctors' practices and insurers, which is the most sweeping ban in the country.

narrowing section 230 ensures only giants like meta have the resources to allow for people to post on their platforms while everyone else has no choice but to end their user-created content platforms. this is just big tech trying to make the internet consist of only their walled gardens

Before anyone begins doomposting: There are still two stops it has to pass before it gets into law. And the senate doesn't like the House version of KOSA so there's a chance it doesn't pass. But don't just assume.

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...

Seems worth noting how no Democratic Congress member (as far as I can tell) has actively spoken out against the political persecution of the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters. It should go without saying that treating antifascism as terrorism is a serious threat to Democracy.

it's kinda sad that the two most popular pieces of media about trans girls are ones where they never transition, are sad their whole lives, and then die. Like, nothing to do with the quality of any of these stories individually, It's just kinda bleak. I think all y'all trans girls deserve better…

nothing harder to take seriously than when a nonfiction author discussing social issues decides to include

Gender pay gaps would have been solved yesterday if instead we called it a male employee premium and pointed out employers are paying 15,20, 30% more sometimes just so they can hire a man. Hundreds of times more in the case of football

I think at the core of this is a really deep political divide over the core nature of what freedom is. At stake here is this question: is freedom the end of exploitation and rule, the ability to work and make decisions together without anyone ruling over each other, Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

kamala harris' time as AG is so historically bad that she has some of the worst numbers for imprisoned Black women because she kept imprisoning moms on truancy laws, including the moms of disabled kids who were desperately trying to get IEPs and 504s to cover their asses but were slowed by gov BS.
