The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR

supportjamaica.gov.jm

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.

KOSA is now in red alert priority.

Please contact your representatives, dem and gop alike, and demand they oppose KOSA!

We need to turn out in numbers against this!

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

Remember there’s a campaign for this on 5Calls if you need a script to read from: 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...

I HAAAAAAAATE making calls, it makes me anxious.

But protecting trans people is WAY more important.

Incredible thread to be updated on how to #SaveSpeech!

It’s the start of the weekday, Senate and House are back in session. Take action and give your representatives a stern phone call*!

*There’s a short and long script handy if you don’t know what to say!

A post on the importance of sending letters

A post with Disney's address

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

Bipartisan Push in Congress to Weaken Section 230, Expand Online Surveillance, and Increase Platform Liability Calls for platform accountability came with few answers about who decides what speech is acceptable.

#SaveSpeech

US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230.

Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

If you have the space on your plate to make these calls, please do.

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal

so it needs to be taken seriously

It's so helpful to have non-US call paypros! They always tell us they're "global companies" so let's give them global resistance.

Are you registered to vote? Please please please, if you are in a state that has elections on Tuesday, show up. It matters so much. Your actions may seem small, but they can effect big change.

Sign the Petition Defend the Internet Archive

Archive.org is being sued by record labels and they're asking people to sign this petition to help get the suit dropped.

www.change.org/p/defend-the...

Petition Reason We ask for this due to rising concern that non-profit organisations, or otherwise, have been and have successfully pressured Australian and global companies into refusing service to certain groups of people, including people of sexual identity, LGBTQ+ groups. They should not be allowed to use harassment techniques to force their personal ideas and beliefs on Australian adults and others around the world who use the internet

Petition Request We therefore ask the House to investigate, regulate, restrict or shut down and outlaw organisations such as "Collective Shout"; these organisation,s like the one named here, hide behind the disguise of protecting the vulnerable; however, their predatory behaviour has caused people to lose jobs and livelihood as well as people to feel unsafe in their own skin So we ask the House to look into these non-profits and expose the true harm they do behind closed doors

Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech

COMMENT ON THIS NOW IT IS SUPREMELY IMPORTANT

This topic has evolved a LOT since I made this thread - MAKE CALLS TO THESE TRILLION DOLLAR PAYMENT COMPANIES and DONT harass sites like itch that are forced to abide by those discriminatory policies.

Barb makes some great posts and reposts on this subject and I highly recommend them!

@hy-longcat.bsky.social I hate to ask, but we have no other path. The world turned away. Please help us through this 💚

This DOES NOT turn the AI off, only hides it, you need to do method 2 here:

The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025 Chat Control is back on the lawmakers' table

www.techradar.com/computing/cy...

So now that Denmark holds the EU presidency, theyre pushing Chat Control back onto the European Parliament again. That means breaking encryption & automatically scanning & flagging all private communications online.

EU fam, contact your reps:

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW.

Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded

And KEEP CALLING

Yall imma be real: this disaster season is gonna be bad.

Read this thread, then donate or snag the bundle to help us get ready.

bit of an update but, hey, sorry for going radio silent (not just on here, but elsewhere too) - i've been dealing with a pretty bad bout of anxiety. i really wish it was easier for me to just talk to people. i'll try to reach out more!
