a snippet of good news from an otherwise concerning ongoing push for KOSA (more details in full thread). i'm not even in USA but i'm so grateful that @fightforthefuture.org (and @evangreer.bsky.social) have been taking names and kicking ass on this for a damn decade. your work matters for us all ❤️‍🔥

Here's some more good news from today's hearing: it seems like the SCREEN ACT totally failed. This was one of the most dangerous bills being considered: it would have created an Internet-wide ID check regime that would be a censorship and surveillance nightmare for marginalized communities.

I know I've been reposting a lot of KOSA stuff today, but it's serious. We may have stopped the SCREEN Act but the war's not over yet. We still have KOSA to deal with now. So please call your senators and representatives while you still can.

Reading between the lines, since TikTok isn't saying, but this sounds like it may be a Facebook "Xcheck" kind of situation where certain big name accounts are flagged such that automated tools don't take immediate action, and require higher level human review.

Perez Hilton appeared bloody, wielding what looked like a knife, for FIFTEEN MINUTES on a TikTok livestream before the feed was cut. The company says "moderator error" allowed the stream to continue for so long without intervention.

Much respect to @markey.senate.gov for continuing to lift up the significant concerns with KOSA raised by LGBTQ+ youth and human rights groups. This is what leadership looks like when it would have been easier to stay quiet on a controversial vote www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Today was a mixed bag, but it isn't over yet. The House and Senate are still fighting over Duty of Care so KOSA isn't guaranteed to pass.

#savespeech #stopKOSA Senate Comm. Markup News Bad News: Senate KOSA did pass with democrat support. We all saw this coming though. Unsure on other bills. Good News: Mike Lee's SCREEN Act is dead for now. It failed to pass the bar. Overall, good job fighting. We're far from finished. Keep at it

“What you doing, human?” “Texting a friend, Kiki!” “Can I get in on this?” “On what?” “I’ll help you tippy-tappy!” (extends paw) “How can I type when you’re SWATTING my fingers!” “It ain’t helping?” “It AIN’T!” “But we’re having fun!” “YOU’RE having fun, Kiki!” “That’s what I said, human!”

Wanted to draw the rest of the Police Service. I’m sure most people know ranks, but just to be clear; Raika is the boss over the lower Officers and Inazuma is her boss. Wanted to keep the rest of the Officers mainly Growlithes as they’ve always been the most known Police ‘Mons. xD

[C] Fullbody for: @blindboiexe.bsky.social Another comm that I was completely HONORED by!! 😭✨They wanted me to draw a younger version of Raiko, who is a very minor OC from my PMD comic. She's the captian of the police’mon. So, here she is before she became Captain!
