This is legit scary. Marsha Blackburn is openly admitting that her bill KOSA will be used to drive trans people off the internet.
But Democrats are lining up to support it, and LGBTQIA+ orgs have dropped their opposition. WTF WTF WTF

We ALL need to call our Senators and DEMAND that they not vote for this bill, and that they stop working with Nazis to attack LGBTQ people online in the name of 'protecting children' (which these bills never actually do, because they're written by Nazis to attack LGBTQ people, not by experts.)

Once again Dems willingly ask to pull the pin in the spirit of bipartisanship. Every damn time.

This is the first I am hearing about this. I am a pansexual and trans 20 year old furry in Texas. What happens if this passes? I am not the greatest at understanding bills or law stuff

Really getting those '90s DLC/Clinton Democrat vibes lately. Not what I hoped for after the promising first two years and the failed red wave of 2022.

She is genuinely hateful, and she's been on a censorship tear since she went to Congress last century. One way to fight Marsha is to support the EFF - www.eff.org

PS: If you're going to call or write your reps, I would focus heavily on the enforcement mechanism of this bill. It would allow the attorney general of *every single state* to sue over any content they have reason to believe harms kids. This is an open invitation to censorship.

This is so depressing. The Democrats continually throw their base under the bus. It’s the 1990s all over again.

I wish Tennessee would trend for things other than how great Dolly is and how crappy everything else seems. Blackburn is my Senator, I pass her local office all the time as I go to Jonesborough. I know that no amount of reason will ever show her how this is dangerous. Sometimes I wish I could move.

I asked my Senators to be aware and I'm not satisfied. I will try again. This might help them understand the consequences of their KOSA vote against trans kids right to explore their world. Safely online is what it means imho, and the future would be bleak without it.

The people claiming that they want to "protect the kids" are often the ones hurting kids the most. Disgusting

What really gets me is that queer groups aren’t raising the alarm bells around this. To not fight this is to sign their own death warrants.

"But it says it's for Kids Online Safety! Why would anyone oppose keeping kids safe online!" (And this what any politician will say, if you can compel them to speak the truth:"I know it's bullshit, unconstituional, and evil, but don't want my opponent saying I voted against keeping kids safe!"

I wrote to both my usually reliable senators and one already replied with an absolutely standard boiler plate about something something something kids. The other hasn’t replied yet, but I believe he also supports it. Very frustrating and disturbing. I’ll try again with more specific comments

It is genuinely disgusting how the orgs have all moved into lockstep to support this wretched bill just because of bullshit backroom political deals. Hope they feel happy when this bill gets used against them

Definitely writing congresspeople regarding this. As well as working on awareness, so we can get more letters to representatives. This is unacceptable.

Also, Rs are doing everything on their wishlist right now b/c they *know* that voters are overwhelmingly against their agenda. We need to keep out organizing their voter suppression to keep our neighbors SAFE. Check you’re registered to vote. Keep checking. There will be more hurdles.

My senators are Grassley & Ernst. They actively disregard every concern I have brought. Their replies are always infuriating. Also, our governor is firing 1/2 the government here. Iowa is a hellscape. I implore anyone with a representative who *might listen* to call their offices *continuously*.
