ICE isn’t an aberration, but the product of the militarized police state the US built at home and abroad. The shooting of an unarmed man isn’t new, just how brazenly this violence is carried out. Fight ICE, but to truly protect our communities, we must dismantle the system that made it possible.

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

No vote today and there's still a lot of disagreement on these bills, but I wouldn't be complacent. Republicans say they're looking to "shoehorn" in KOSA, SCREEN or other restrictions into the must-pass defense bill coming up later this month. Make noise. There's poison in the sausage.

Nathan Leamer, a former GOP staffer at the Federal Communications Commission and executive director of Build American AI, a new pro-industry group, told POLITICO last week that Republican lawmakers are negotiating several potential online protections for kids as part of the AI preemption package they hope to shoehorn into a year-end defense bill.

“Is it KOSA or [the] SCREEN Act, or age verification, app-store verification? I think all of those are on the table,” said Leamer. “But I don’t know what the final package is going to be.”

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children. Committee hearings begin tomorrow.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to
