    Perhaps politicians should concentrate on making it so there’s less depressing stuff in the world for anyone to see and hear, and not creating more of it with things like this rubbish bill. 🤷‍♀️

      It’s never about kids. If they gave half a fuck about kids, we’d have free school lunches and teachers would be paid a fair salary.

      So long as the internet is around to distribute fact-checks and officer-involved homicide videos they have no plausible lies by which the 80% of us in poverty or precarity should tolerate the abuse of plutocrats and capitalists.

      So this is a first amendment issue: it’s about suppression of political speech. It always was 🌍 👩‍🚀 🔫 👨‍🚀 🌑

    Good luck with that. They can’t even stop child abuse online and that’s an actual problem that should be solved.
