Look up Canadians, the freedom of information and movement proposed in this American bill, isn't that different or far off from what our govt has already enacted 'for the sake of protecting children'. Yet for some odd reason, no relating responsibility for content creators or hosts 🤷🏼
The BL:UF@thebluf.news · 13h agoAnother bill. S.5090 — the Digital Age Assurance Act — requires every OS provider to collect age data before the OS runs. No open-source carve-out. GrapheneOS's accountless design would be illegal. We read it: https://www.thebluf.news/p/digital-age-assurance-act-grapheneos-account-mandate
Note the age verification laws being enacted in a number of countries. Note their corresponding multiple contracts with surveillance techbros with Palantir, Flock etc. Understand that it's never just a way to monitor children's preserve on the web. #SayNoToDigitalID
🌹WeegieFromWA 🍀@onefussyone.bsky.social · 19h agoThe SCREEN Act is the biggest threat to your right to free, anonymous speech, ever. That this bill is very likely to be signed into law should send a chill down everyone's spines. Within the next month (or sooner), it will be the single most talked about topic in America - and rightfully so.
It’s super unserious to live to witness our pre-apocalyptic hellworld that went from being a boundless source of infinite sustenance to having a crumbling ecosystem only since the 3rd Industrial Revolution & fix your mouth to say that it is the socialists that are going to kill us all.
Dutch doctors and activists displayed 1,400 pairs of white shoes in a square in the Netherlands in memory of fallen healthcare workers in Gaza. This is heartbreaking.
To explain for foreigners: our energy regulator rubber-stamps price rises; the water regulator tuts while rivers fill up with human shit; the press regulator wags an occasional finger, and the national equality body enforces press campaigns against groups of people they hate and wish to damage.

I have now become aware that on 6 February this year the New South Wales Government amended the Crimes (Administration of Sentences) Regulation 2014 to allow themselves to V-code trans women Here is the amending statutory instrument: legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/pdf/asm...

trans woman beaten and then taken to a men’s jail for standing outside the bathroom and waiting for her partner. she wasn’t even in it this is where the “fairness in sports,” discussion takes us; legitimizing a mob beating a woman in public

EITM writer S Baum investigates this horrible act of violence in our latest piece. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...
Louisiana does not have an anti-trans bathroom ban on the books, so this was wholly legal for these two to use the washroom. I am INCENSED 🔥🔥🔥 Yes we know how we got here, and ALL of us must do more to protect the safety and human rights of Trans persons, in person, in everyday life.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

Do you think in Nazi Germany many Germans weren't happily living, going to church & school & parties & enjoying nice outings with their families, with good jobs & stable lives? And the Holocaust was happening. That who you are now if you ignore America's glaring, alarming fascism.
It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If Mel Woods had their way, everyone would treat the Harry Potter series “as a regretfully significant cultural artifact of a moment in time” in light of J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans activism. With their new collaboration, Tim Hortons has done the opposite. https://ow.ly/WJUW50Zw1aA
Every single Liberal MP who hasn't left the party in disgust should be ashamed of themselves. But they won't be. You need to have pre-existing ethics and morals to actually be ashamed of yourself for breaking them. I cannot believe how shitty our leaders are right now. It's beyond belief.

The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.
Time for Canada/provinces to make this possible here too. We should be allowed to have nice things that lower bills and emissions!
