Just Realized Congress Will Be Out Of Recess Tomorrow. That Means The Potential Of KOSA Passing In The

Just realized congress will be out of recess tomorrow. That means the potential of KOSA passing in the senate, which is an unfortunately very likely possibility.

Ive been seeing a lot of anti-KOSA posts along the lines of, "If KOSA passes on the 26th, it will be a law and we will all be doomed" and that is just not true.

KOSA is only in the senate right now. It would need to be introduced to and pass the house and get signed by the president to become a law.

If you see news of KOSA passing the senate tomorrow, please do not panic and think it's all over. Simply shift from contacting your representatives in the senate to contacting your representatives in the house .

I know I’ve been reblogging and commenting on a lot of KOSA stuff as of late, and for those who don’t want to see it I apologize.

But this is so fucking important. And being an American myself means that if the bill is passed, this blog might not even exist anymore!

One of the main things in America is the fucking freedom of speech—and now you’re getting rid of that by mass-censoring the internet? A place where we should be free to express our rights—good or bad?

This bill is fucking insane and, frankly, outrageous. “But the kids!” maybe you should just put more effort into fucking helping them?? This ISN’T?? If Nex were still with us, this wouldn’t have fucking helped them!

Children will get groomed. And when this happens, the appropriate legal action needs to take place. Not whatever the fuck this is.

Sorry for the slight rant. I’m pissed, and frankly, worried.

Important

KOSA is coming back and it has gotten more support than ever. The bill has recently gained support from companies such as Twitter, Snapchat, and Microsoft. If this bill continues to gain more and more bipartisan support, the chances of it passing are going to increase. If this bill passes, everyone’s private information is going to be at a high risk and, depending on which state you’re in, very important topics are going to be wiped off of the face of the internet and free speech won’t be an option.

Please, call your senators, send your senators an email, or send a physical letter to your senators. We need to continue fighting and put an end to this dogshit bill.

OKAY SO GOOD NEWS: THE KOSA HEARING HAS APPARENTLY BEEN MOVED TO MARCH 13-16 INSTEAD!! WE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME!!!

THAT BEING SAID, WE STILL DEFINITELY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO PASS!!

For Palestines sake.

For Yamens sake.

For Congos sake.

For LGBTQIA+ kids and adults alike.

For everyone.

FUCK OFF KOSA, AND FUCK OFF AMERICA!

Do lawmakers even know how stupid KOSA truly is as a bill, if not dangerous. Think about it: having to give ID containing SENSITIVE INFORMATION (literally against Internet Safety 101) just to go on the internet. Being a minor having to do that is so dangerous and would put them in more danger at the hands of predators.

People who have to use the internet for educational uses will have to go through stupid, unneeded steps just to look up the purpose of the mitochondria!

Trans and Queer youth are in danger. Fandom spaces are in danger. Children, the very group of people that this bullshit bill is claiming to protect, are in DANGER!

The States having full monopoly over the internet is so, so ungodly stupid and dystopian. I can’t imagine being someone not from the States and having to witness all of this.

The bill doesn’t protect kids, it only puts them in more danger.

CALL YOUR REPS! SIGN PETITIONS! KEEP KOSA TRENDING! LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING!

THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR ALL OF US! NOT JUST A SELECTIVE!

SIMILAR BILLS HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE AND BEEN STOPPED THANKS TO THE INTERNET! LET’S DO THAT AGAIN!

STOP KOSA!

hello brothers and sisters you’re probably well aware of what kosa is after this point, but if you don’t, it’s a bill that is going to be r

WELL, SHIT.

So, Kosa is almost certainly going to pass the Senate, almost entirely just as bad and censorious as it ever was, but, that just means we need to take the fight to The House of Representatives, because that's where it's going now.

So, find your reps' numbers here and call them ASAP.

And this is bipartisan too, it's not just the Dems that might be swayed against this due to the well documented threats to LGBTQ people it presents, I'm sure even the right-wingers would not be happy to sign on a bill that's likely to lead to government-mandated facial scans for everyone using the net., along with the encroachment of actual big-government on our freedom of speech.

So, call now, call often, and if you want a further follow-through on this, there's a discord server organizing to fight this that you can join here.
