Holy fricking A.

1. Sciences aren't remotely apolitical, from who gets to do research to which research projects are funded to how findings are interpreted.

2. Who is going to write the reports/papers without humanities?

3. Science is also a target!! Ask the CDC researchers who were shot at!

The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

this is tragically going to work. they’re going to roll back all rights to before the time of ronald reagan and it’s going to take so much to reverse course of this fascism

twice today, when pressured, Stripe operators have said, plainly, that i cannot use stripe for the purchase of LGBTQ content. not just adult content, but explicitly LGBTQ.

To everyone who wants Visa and Mastercard to stop screwing with our platforms:

This thread contains everything you need to fight back!

- A script
- Form links
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Petitions
- and more!

Let's flood these fuckers with complaints until they get the message!

An image of a huge jackboot crushing a comic artist and a bunch of comic pages. The boot is marked by the logos for MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe. Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction. Fight back against the unjust policies hurting artists and creators online! https://yellat.money/ https://stop-paypros.neocities.org/

Let's Keep Calling!

Reminder: Seeing evidence that the pushback is working is not a reason to step back and declare victory, it's a reason to ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ!

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces? Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.

These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

The meme with the guy watching an other girl than his girlfriend, but the thing that interested him is the customer support of Paypal Visa stripe and mastercard to complant about their policy.

Don't stop complaining ! @voiddebris.bsky.social

Throwback to these commissions I did in 2022(?). Might break out these pencils again while I'm stuck at home.

People need to keep in mind this is the line. The reason we have such a breadth of styles and niches of adult content now is because people can make a living off of it. If we have our incomes demolished, 90%+ will have to stop and disappear. Action matters now more than it ever has before.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

Here's the bill btw
Call your senators and tell them to shut it down

I still remember people in the early 2000s talking about gay couples holding hands or kissing in public like it was as obscene as hardcore pornography

Don't let Mastercard breathe without them tripping into an article about it

We literally cannot afford to stop.

So keep. Fucking. Calling.

To echo others: that MasterCard is proactively reaching out to its advertising partners to try and blunt the impact of the pressure campaign is one of the surest signs the pressure campaign is having an effect (and after just two weeks, too!) Don't let up! Call/mail their asses!! #SaveSpeech

Project 2025 Co-Author Caught Admitting the Secret Conservative Plan to Ban Porn In a hidden-camera recording, Russ Vought explains that age verification laws are just pretext to shut down porn sites.

See OMB director Russell Vought, core to Project 2025, arguing for a national ban on pornography by starting with state ID laws. There's a clear national interest in attacking pornography from someone *within the Trump administration*

A reminder not to let the National Center On Sexual Exploitation's official-sounding name fool you: they're the rebranded busybody group "Morality In Media", whom you might remember from such hits as "Trying to have Life Of Brian pulled from theatres" and "trying to connect queerness to mass murder"
