Haha -woke 1- was crazy right guys!?

Those last 15 years where every leftist tried ruin your life if you didn't submit to their crazy demands so they could infiltrate every space they could sure was wacky fun!! so let's just laugh it off everyone!!

It sure was fun to lose most of my friendships that were over 10 years old, all because of a single disagreement that got my life's work and reputation ruined because -woke 1- was this wacky time for the left, so let's just laugh and forget tehee!!

Hmm but wait... what even is -woke 2- then??

Oh right, it's the exact same thing but leftists just took their "good guy" mask off and are more open about trying to ruin your life and announce that they want to kill you by pushing their "dark woke" ideology and agenda

All while abusing their victim complex to never face consequences for their actions and still push for the exact same things they did 10 years ago or sometimes even worse because the slippery slope got very slippery over the years.

But sure, -woke 1- was this crazy time we just need to forgive and forget so it becomes socially acceptable for them to try again...

[Metal_Shade 🇺🇸 @Metal_Shademk2]

Ok. I'm back from the hospital. Turns out I didn't have any stones. Just lower back problems. Sorry for scaring you all. Admittedly I scared myself, too.

[Metal_Shade 🇺🇸 @Metal_Shademk2]

Yep, still here.

[Metal_Shade 🇺🇸 @Metal_Shademk2]

Ok. One last resort. I'll be heading to the hospital. I think the stones are bigger than anticipated. Wish me luck.

[Metal_Shade 🇺🇸 @Metal_Shademk2]

Still alive. Trying to push a good amount.

[Metal_Shade 🇺🇸 @Metal_Shademk2]

Alive still but man, does it hurt.

[Metal_Shade 🇺🇸 @Metal_Shademk2]

Still alive. Holding on to hope.

[Metal_Shade 🇺🇸 @Metal_Shademk2]

Still here. Fighting strong. I'm not giving up.

[Metal_Shade 🇺🇸 @Metal_Shademk2]

I hope I've made a good impression to all the people I've met.

[Metal_Shade 🇺🇸 @Metal_Shademk2]

Hi everyone. If you find this tweet, I've been trying to get rid of a kidney stone. If I don't reply soon. Well you can guess what happened. I'm staying strong as best as I can.

When I was 12 I owned a VHS that had a Charlie Brown promo with a guy who very clearly said “penis videos” instead of “peanuts videos” and I replayed it so many times I broke the tape.

I just digitized an old copy, tell me this dude didn’t know EXACTLY what he was doing lmao

🚨 UPDATE: Senate Commerce markup on the Surveillance Slate:

✅ S. 1748 (KOSA) — PASSED (unanimous)
The harder version with the full “duty of care” standard. This is not a watered-down compromise. Blackburn said the House version is a "nonstarter".

✅ S. 4199 (Youth AI Privacy Act) — PASSED

✅ S. 4407 (CHATBOT Act) — PASSED
Uses existing COPPA consent rules, but still creates strong incentives to age-sort users at scale.

✅ S. 5171 (Children’s AI Toy Safety Act) — PASSED

❌ S. 737 (SCREEN Act) — Did not advance
Got a majority (15-13) but failed on quorum. Not dead, just delayed.

Four of five bills now head toward the Senate floor. This is no longer a committee fight. It’s a floor fight and a House-Senate conflict.

⚠️Sen Cruz said September markup for the "AI Package" which could potentially include Meta's App Store Accountability Act.

Children deserve to be safe online.
Parents deserve to remain the ones in charge.

Parents are the firewall.
Not the state.
Not Big Tech.

[Emerald Apple @AI_EmeraldApple]

There is still time to fight this.

This is a "Temporary Injunction", which can be overturned based on a final judgment by the court.

It's yet another "think of the children" moral framing turned into mass collection of private information, ripe for data leaks and mass doxxing.

This all started because a 13-year-old girl was contacted by strangers online within a minute for explicit sexual acts, with over 400k cases of child sexual exploitation reported in just 2025 alone.

In an age where parents had more attention for their kids, this would not be happening. Kids should not be on social media, and because two-income households are common, the adults don't have the time or energy to police their kids' online habits.

Instead, even among the conservatives, who typically prefer less government interference, are pushing for more state-sponsored surveillance and "child protection". Kids these days are very tech-savvy and can easily bypass these interventions using VPNs and various other tools.

When age restrictions were rolled out in Australia, it only had a small effect on actually curbing minors' access to social media. The real fix is more parents actually parenting, not allowing the government to take away your privacy. This is going to lead to a chilling effect on free speech, as more and more people end up getting into "legal troubles" over what they say online.

United States Judge just forced the internet to use the same laws that the UK has been doing for Discord and it won't stop there. Then we have the SCREEN Act preparing to be voted on in 4 days. Share this post and video to spread awareness to fight back. https://t.co/EvZoAkYOfh

[Reclaim The Net @ReclaimTheNetHQ]

A Texas judge just ordered Discord to turn on the age checks it built for the UK.

The same face scans, same ID uploads, now for everyone in the state. Britain wrote the rule and Texas imported it.

So a judge told them to turn it on.

Texans will have to show a face scan or government ID to access legal speech.
