It's just a sports ban.
It's just a bathroom ban.
It's just a healthcare for kids ban.
It's just a military service ban.
It's just a federal jobs ban.
It's just a university housing ban.
It's just a passport & visa ban.
It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.

Your electricity bill is going up because data centers are raising demand, not because your utility started scaling out some renewables. Pass it on.

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!"

just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement

it's 95% now

you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

you can’t do shit about a police investigation or how big money will spin the news. but you know what you *can* do? help the actual people this will be/is being weaponized against.

tap into the thread. make a few calls so people close to power know this *also* isn’t the time to bail on trans folks.

It's a huge liability for them and a very real safety risk for many creators.

I don’t think this would have happened if the larger games media world shut down that anti-Sweet Baby shit on Day 1. I’ve beat this drum a lot, and will beat it again: I really think this problem has festered since games journalists abdicated responsibility to resist the RW tide in gaming

The United States Tennis Association told broadcasters not to show any booing of Trump today.

Call them to let them know how you feel about them enabling a wannabe dictator and his fascist regime.

If you only have 'rights' when people think it's popular that you have them, then they aren't rights and can be taken away when it's popular that you don't have them. Popularity doesn't mean or even necessarily correlate with legal, moral, or ethical.

Read this, please.

The regime will use the eugenicist systems they've created to eliminate disabled people against political dissidents and any other "undesirables".

And if you didn't know that already, it's only because you didn't listen to disabled people.

if you live in these 3 regions, give the petitions a sign! It takes less than a minute, and these petitions can be a great way to push the cause and raise awareness/ deal brand damage to paypros!

and if you dont live their or the USA, i recommend trying to look into petitioning your government too!

Read the BANNED BOOKS first....

I used to work for a politician answering their phones and responding to their emails, and I can tell you from my experience this is completely true.
I saw my boss immediately flip on an issue because we got like ten emails in a day. Trust me, they do worry about being flooded with this stuff.

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT

There's one entity I won't be contacting over this bc I have my entire business set up through it; all my money runs through it. It has a long history of debanking adult-industry ppl. If you're a follower of mine and love my work, please take up the baton for me and make a call. It would mean a lot

Please share this info for this Censorship must be defeated for Humanity to progress:

if you havent made any calls, or shipped any letters or sent any emails yet, and you feel like its "too late":

dont. its not too late. now is literally a perfect time to start joining in and contacting legislators and paypros in whatever way works best for you.

its a marathon, not a race!

These people are not arguing or operating in good faith. Their strategy is to exploit all the tools of democracy to enact fascist rule. They want to exploit your kindness and charity to gain enough power to kill you all. They will commit any atrocity and whine like a child if you dare to fight back.

also hey remember: Emails may not be effective against paypros but here's confirmation they ARE against legislators!

so any wall flowers out there whose nerves are burnt out from making phone calls, sending physical/digital mail is a great option!

EVERYONE has the capacity to do SOMETHING

Screenshot reading: "They come for porn first because it's one of the easiest things to vilify and the most embarrassing to defend. Because so many of us will automatically laugh at anyone saying 'my inability to purchase/access tentacle hentai is a serious threat to free speech' even when it 100% is"

Screenshot reading: "Have concerns about the Orwellian digital ID pilot program? Good to know you support child predators. Don't think two private companies should have unilateral say over what kind of art can or can't be sold? Touch grass, gooner. A few thought-terminating cliches end all arguments. You have to fight back now, you have to fight back hard, and you have to fight for the stuff you think is gross and creepy and stupid, because the taboo topics you care about are next"

Since MB doesn't seem active on here and it's worth seeing a crosspost

I was told directly by an aide on a call today that when a bill comes before a congressman, they specifically take their data from these calls and say "this is how many/who called in to vote yay/nay for this bill"

they actually do factor in how many people call on issues like these. do your calls!

Hey this is really fucking dire! Keep calling Stripe. This aligns with nothing they've previously told us

It Turns Out, Steam’s Adult Content Ban Has Been Plotted For A Year And Is Spearheaded By One Of Project 2025’s Leading Voices Plans to abolish Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act could have dire consequences for games.

Collective shout is a convenient scapegoat. The current administration’s considering this one of their objectives to abolish section 230 of the online communication decency act.

The section that absolves websites and online programs of being held responsible for user content.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told Steve Bannon they don't have the votes right now. Allegedly, these are the movable Republicans.

Pssst: Rep. Maxwell Frost confirmed you can call anyone, but start with one in your own state.

Call these U.S. Representatives and tell them to vote NO on the “Big Beautiful Bill”: AZ-06, Juan Ciscomani CA-22, David Valadao CA-40, Young Kim CA-41, Ken Calvert CO-08, Gabe Evans FL-07, Cory Mills FL-13, Anna Paulina Luna FL-27, Maria Elvira Salazar IA-01, Mariannette Miller-Meeks IA-02, Ashley Hinson IA-03, Zach Nunn MI-07, Tom Barrett MO-02, Ann Wagner NJ-07, Tom Kean Jr. NY-17, Mike Lawler OH-07, Max Miller OH-10, Mike Turner OH-15, Mike Carey PA-01, Brian Fitzpatrick PA-07, Ryan Mackenzie PA-08, Rob Bresnahan PA-10, Scott Perry TN-05, Andy Ogles TX-15, Monica De La Cruz VA-01, Rob Wittman VA-02, Jen Kiggans WI-01, Bryan Steil WI-03, Derrick Van Orden

“The fight’s not over. Let’s get to work.”

After Senate Republicans passed Trump’s Tax Scam, @repyassansari.bsky.social and @leahgreenberg.bsky.social explain how you can still help stop the GOP from ripping healthcare away from 17 million Americans.

Everyone running for public office needs to unequivocally say whether they support Trump’s attacks on Iran — attacks which put hundreds of millions of lives at risk.

My answer is an unequivocal NO and there’s no excuse for a candidate to say anything different.
