The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.
What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

Call your senators and tell them to vote against the SCREEN Act! I just did again this morning. You can read the full thread below, but it is genuinely one of the largest scale attempts at on-and-offline censorship, data harvesting, and anti-privacy legislation in recent memory. It's a bad bill.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

CAN'T MAKE IT UP: ICE deported a man to Mexico in violation of a court order in Nov., acknowledged the error and returned him to the U.S. Then they deported him to El Salvador, in violation of court-ordered torture protection. He's currently imprisoned. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
some things are out of bounds for a liberal democracy: such things including plots to remigrate the immigrant population
AWFUL. Ordering ICE to target an ethnic group the president has repeatedly attacked is bigotry as official government policy. TPS recipients are the most vetted immigrants here. They have to pass background checks every 18 months. Most Haitians with TPS entered legally also!
ICE plans to target Haitians as Temporary Protected Status is set to end, sources say
The plans include arresting migrants in Ohio and quickly putting them on deportation flights to crisis-stricken Haiti, the internal documents indicate.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 2w agoSusan Collins voted for $70 billion in ICE funding just before an ICE agent gunned down a young immigrant father in Maine.

My old neighborhood in Milwaukee runs an awesome 24-hour bike ride, the Riverwest 24, each July. This year's ride will start with a memorial lap honoring Alex Pretti, the intensive care nurse who federal immigration cops murdered in Minneapolis this January. Alex used come down to ride in the RW24.

My moderate view is that everyone who is responsible for the fact that 5-yr-old Camila spent 118 days alone in detention should face trial. Especially those responsible for the policies.

If the argument here is "Brad Lander is too safe as a Jew in diaspora to tell Israeli Jews how to keep safe," that sits uncomfortably with the argument that a Jewish state is necessary to keep Jews safe.
Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.
