My day was irritating in the worst ways but at least I got the last Lúcio skin I didn’t have (outside of recolors), plus Emma Frost’s & Lady Loki’s summer skins 💕
Undoubted PROOF (KIDS ACT) was PAID for by Over 120 major tech, telecom, and media companies 🚨🚨🚨file lobbying occurred on a single bill 2024-2025⚠️⚠️⚠️
⚠️they are not reading it. They are negotiating the text. Lobbying disclosures on a bill mean those companies submitted markups, drafted amendments, met with committee staff, and traded provisions behind closed doors. They bought their way into the drafting room.🚨🚨🚨🚨
This is textbook regulatory capture.🚨🚨
⚠️⚠️It looks like companies funding the bill, hired the lobbyists who drafted the language, working with the legislators who sponsor it, and voting it through before the opposition can read it. The KIDS Act is a consolidated package. H.R. 7757 is the container. S.1409 is the engine. The companies in the screenshot paid for it…
The lobbying database confirms the money trail.

When you can't find a park ranger or a working bathroom at a National Park this summer, console yourself with the fact that POTUS is walking on fancy Italian granite...
There are 119 members of the current Congress who are 70-years-old or older.
24 of them are over 80.
The US Capitol Building is the world's most expensive nursing home.
Never EVER forget what the ESA attempted to pull.
ANY time the ever say something, remind them of the stunt they tried.
They should be humiliated forever for ever trying to control how we connect with our friends in gaming.
Rose garden, colonnade, oval office, East wing, reflecting pool… and now the cherry blossoms? This guy is single-handedly destroying Washington history and the Republicans just keep allowing it. Aren’t they supposed to be conservative??
Conserve something.
DHS cut this quote off one sentence early. Here’s how Roosevelt actually finished the thought, same speech, 1915:
“But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”
He also said he wasn’t talking about naturalized citizens (“some of the very best Americans I have ever known”) and that “any discrimination against aliens is a wrong.”
Teddy Roosevelt’s descendants asked Congress to protect his legacy. Trump’s admin answered by perverting TR’s words to push their anti-immigrant agenda.
I don't find the lobster and steak comment as offensive as the dismissive comment about people who are struggling with affordability not working as hard as he does. Congress is so out of touch with reality.
Trump wants to cut down Washington DC's oldest grove of cherry trees along the Mall and eliminate the public biking path and picnic areas so he can build a Trump golf course on public land, using public dollars, and taking spaces away from the public.
The 731 issue and how a lot of cn players were racist, homophobic, and xenophobic are two truths that can exist. We have witnessed both of it happen, and both are rights violations. Its ridiculous to erase individual responsibility as if that absolves them of being vile humans+
Do not fall for this garbage
Anyone who supports this is either bought, buying, or too ignorant to realize they should be either
This was never about protecting kids, all that takes is their parents actually parenting them. That hasn't changed.
This is about eroding the last true bastion of your first amendment rights and turning your data into a mass traded commodity (yes, even more than it already is)
Free speech?
Not when everything you do, say, share, like, or watch is being scrutinized by a unified mass data surveillance system
You say something online the current regime doesn't like? Did you say something FIFTEEN YEARS AGO that the current regime doesn't like?
Well I certainly hope you didn't need bank access, the ability to travel freely, or your job. Because those are gone now
And companies will pay for any "genuine user data" they can get, so that they can more finely tailor their ads and marketing to hook users. This is because online bots (THEIR ONLINE BOTS THAT THEY PUT OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE) have poisoned that system. It's not enough to see a name and an email. Now they need to know if you're a human or one of their bots used to sway opinion. Congrats, who you are is now a commodity
And like any commodity, it will be stolen off the shelves
Ask yourself: every data breach had had unredacted drivers licenses, updated photos, and SSNs tied to them, how much worse would they have been?
How many data breaches have you heard about from MAJOR companies in the last five years alone?
Those were only the big companies. For every one you heard about, there were hundreds that you didn't
And that was only when passwords, usernames, emails, MAYBE some payment history and messages could be stolen
Do you think these data thefts are going to become more or less common when a massive amount of ready made stolen identity kits are the prize for pulling off a major data breach?
If this goes into effect, then buckle up: it's gonna get a whole lot worse.
