“Your body MY choice”

My knife YOUR life

[spiritmander13]

THE KIDS ONLINE SAFETY ACT IS DEAD.

It has been confirmed that Republicans have spiked KOSA and now KOSA is "dead-on-arrival' at the House, at least in its current state.

But this is not the end.

There are so many more bills that can do the same thing KOSA was planned to do. And also- KOSA will be back, probably by next year.

Nonetheless, I congratulate all of your efforts in this fight to protect fandom from being heavily censored and for things like mental help and sex education to be hidden from people in need. Take a moment to step back and breathe, but remember to continue fighting, ESPECIALLY when KOSA comes back.

Before I get back to fully posting normally I also want to put this out there,

If you live in the United States,

If you become a member of the Satanic Temple you are legally protected by your First Amendment right for "Freedom Of Religion" to your own bodily autonomy.

The Satanic Temple is legally recognized as a church by the IRS and the Federal Court System. The are in multiple lawsuits against states such as Texas, Idaho, Missouri, and Arkansas that are implementing strict abortion bans.

This Bodily Autonomy also includes LGBTQIA+ members and Transgender individuals seeking medical attention

You can contact them and they will fight for you and your rights to practice your religion

This link brings you to their RRR Campaign page for more information:

Signing up is free and you can easily find a congregation near you, and it's not exclusive to the US, but for what's currently happening in the US following the presidential election, I'm making this post for you. You're also able to purchase a membership card and certificate after you join but joining is completely free.

One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.

Hail thyself

This is serious. We CANNOT let project 2025 happen. I dont think a lot of people really understand how horrible another Trump presidency would be.

KEEP TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE

STOP PROJECT 2025

THIS IS SO FUCKING IMPORTANT

[happyheidi]

to everyone who feels underrepresented, misrepresented or unrepresented; everyone who can’t express themselves, their gender and/or sexuality in a manner that feels comfortable to them; to everyone who experiences dysphoria, who is misgendered and deadnamed every day; to everyone who’s closeted because they’re not ready or they don’t feel safe; to everyone who’s flag isn’t on this post: I see you. You are loved!

Urgent News.

One of the largest threats to queer safety, especially queer youth on the internet, is the KOSA bill. It is effectively a censorship bill that will make access to the internet for queers, nigh impossible and constantly monitored.

Now of course the council's concerns may lie within the queer, but the bill will also affect pro-Palestinian messages, activism, truthful information, etc. It will make it difficult to look for sexual health information, information on Palestine, Sudan, the Congo, climate change, queer history, queer info in general.

It is a bill that the USA is going to use to effectively stop all the criticism against them, all the information on the genocides committed in the name of capital, and block out safe spaces for queers in and out of the closet.

And it is being discussed whether to have it added to the FAA. What does that mean? The FAA was the same way the Tiktok ban was passed so easily, a way for the US to pass bills without much resistance. So you might be thinking:

What is to be done?

Well for one, if you are a member of the council reading this, you are obligated to reblog this and spread the message far and wide. And we mean it. Whether through posters, posts, shouting, protests, whatever you can do, you must do. Even if you aren't a council member, morally you should still do it.

As evidently the internet is in jeopardy.

Other than that, sign these petitions, spread these links and urge others to do so. Call your representatives, email them, mail them, fax them. And again, urge others to do the same.

You don't need to be American to spread this or sign these. And you should care still even if you aren't American, as this will be a global effect if KOSA passes.

EFF | KOSA Bill

EFF | Look for your representative sand contact them

We must do anything and everything to keep the internet safe. For all.

So do not fall into despair that we will fail, and do not become complacent thinking we will win. Become active and make sure we win.

For in the dark we endure, and in the light we fight for who you call impure.

Accepting your children as they are no matter what, AKA Radical Acceptance, will save their life.

[eziojensenthe3rd]

So this pretty damn official. Thursday is gonna see committee markup of bills including kosa.

Make as much noise as you can.

[wackypomko]

it does not matter if you are from USA, im chilean and I will still gonna help them!

[mywitchyblog]

I had to

[deathtokillian]

Now if Trump hopefully loses (hell even if he wins) I need you guys to remember that the Trump cult is unhinged. I guarantee some of them will do something drastic in retaliation. So stay safe !!

[creelarke]

I know people were making memes about the situation but this is actually scary for the lgbtq community because what just happened will most certainly hand that man presidency now.

the shooter just made his chances of winning the election skyrocket.

this is real life. Trump will certainly be heavily protected and he’ll be fine, he’ll most likely win solely because of this incident. but queer and trans people won’t be protected and they will be the target of the hatred that has now been fueled by this incident. no matter who the shooter was, they will target us.

to all my queer and trans friends, please please please please look after yourselves and each other. please stay safe

[madamepestilence]

This pride month, make your queer ancestors proud and turn it back into a protest. Don't let corporations dominate pride. Protest for a Free Palestine.

Protest for the queer Russians who've had their rights stripped. Protest for a free Sudan. Protest for a multi-polar world not dependent on the US. Protest for Southern hemisphere autonomy.

Protest for a free Ukraine. Protest to reverse restrictions on trans Americans and Europeans that have taken place in the past few years.

Protest to get rid of fascism and corporate lobbying in governments. Protest for economic and government reform to the left.

Stay in groups. If you see a police kettle, turn around. If police confront you, SHUT THE FUCK UP - IF NOBODY TALKS, EVERYONE WALKS.

If you are a responsible gun owner and live in a place with concealed- or open-carry laws, keep your gun on your person (may you not need them). You are less likely to be assaulted if visibly armed.

Don't bring your phone, they may disable it and will use it to track you back to your home. Don't wear contacts, they'll trap in tear gas. You can find gas masks at Army-Navy stores.

Saline solution (lightly salted water) will burn like a motherfucker, but is much safe at clearing tear gas from your eyes than regular water or milk and prevents infection.

[charliejaneanders]

Folks, I'm hearing that the Kids Online Safety Act is back on the agenda. The Senate is holding a hearing with tech CEOs tomorrow, in an effort to get this bill on the Senate floor.

Time to give your Senators another call and tell them this bill would silence LGBTQIA+ people online.

[kiradelgrain]

We will definitely cope with this. Don't give up. Remember that I am always ready to support you. I love you all equally and am always ready to help. I don't care about your race, nation, gender, orientation, etc. You are beautiful just the way you are, and don't end your life! Remember that the fascist will be angry as long as you exist, so we must fight and not let go!

[alxor-of-hellsite]

They want us dead. They want us infighting. NEVER let them get what they want. Love is an act of defiance so keep loving each other. You have to keep living, if for nothing else then for spite. We need each other so don’t you dare fucking die on me.

What we need to do next is build community. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like someone or think they are annoying, they are your family now. It is all of us against the man.

It’s not the time for bullshit arguments. Don’t let them distract you.

LOVE yourself. LOVE each other. LOVE is a weapon & you must use it.
