Guys, it got so much freaking worse. KOSA is bad, but SCREEN is even worse, somehow.

"Sen. Mike Lee has introduced the SCREEN ACT, a bill that applies the "harmful to minors" standard used to ban LGBTQ+ books and resources in schools and libraries and apply it nationally to the internet.

Any site that has any amount of material "harmful to minors" would be forced to employ surveillance tech (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks) to prevent minors from accessing "pornography."

You will not be surprised to learn that this is backed by the Heritage Foundation.

Unlike some of the state age-verification laws, many of which are being challenged in court, SC will be enforced by the FTC, which has the ability to levy fines, raid business and freeze bank accounts. Yes, meaning that even non-for-profits like Ao3 will suffer.

This is something for all US users to keep on their radar. Call your reps, call your senators, and spread the word to protect our archive!"

- When talking with Republicans play up the fact that this would force Elon to implement age verification systems on X (yes do call it X during the call). Elon's been threatening to primary Republicans who stand in his way so there's fear of him. Also play up concerns about "Liberals" doxxing people or Chinese hackers.

- When talking with Democrats, play up the connections to Project 2025 and suggest voters will not be happy to see Democrats siding with it.

SCRIPT

Hi, my name is [], and I am one of Senator []’s constituents. I live in [city, zip code - leave your full address if leaving a voicemail].

I am calling in regards to a bill that was recently introduced in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transport: the SCREEN act.

I am asking Senator [] to either take no action or vote against this bill because of its implications for freedom of speech. [insert one of the other concerns listed above]. Thank you for your time and for listening to my concerns.

My own take on a Doctor Doom Origin Story

In one of Marvel's many, MANY alternate universes...

Victor didn't make that machine in college. He finished his education and got his doctorate alongside Reed and Ben.

Victor remains friends with them after that.

After College, Victor tries to make a machine to rescue his mother in the underworld. It fails and disfigures his face. He then makes the trip to Tibet to have his armor made and becomes Doctor Doom. After that, he liberates Latveria and becomes its king.

Years pass, and Doom learns about the incident that creates the Fantastic Four. When he finds out they've become heroes, he invites them to Latveria to show them the Utopia he has made.

What Doom doesn't know is that S.H.I.E.L.D. has approached the Fantastic Four about finding and destroying something Doom is building.

They learn that Doom is preparing to create another machine to try and rescue his mother, but Reed sees a miscalculation in Doom's work, and finds out that if the machine activates, it will tear reality apart.

Under orders from S.H.I.E.L.D., The Fantastic Four destroy the machine. Doom witnesses this and is heartbroken. His best friends have betrayed him.

Heartbreak gives way to rage as Doom proceeds to beat the tar out of each member of the Fantastic Four, preparing to destroy them.

The entire time, Reed is trying to reason with Doom. But Doom responds with "There is no Victor! There is only DOOM!"

Eventually, the Fantastic Four get the upper hand and pin Doom down to try and reason with him one last time.

Doom calms down, but instead of listening, he remarks on how they were best friends, yet they betrayed him and doomed his mother to her fate. He then banishes them from Latveria forever, declaring them enemies of the country and him.

Keep Calling

Hi everyone, as KOSA lobbyists and people who want the bill to be passed continue to try to appeal to the Senate and House, I'm just reminding you that we can oppose such actions and push back through our phone calls, emails, and faxes. Continue to call today, tomorrow, Friday, and beyond. We have to continue our good work in getting the word out and making our opposition known.

Also support organizations who are leading this fight like Fight For The Future and the EFF!

I would just like to remind you all that the Take It Down Act didn’t disappear; it passed. And it WILL be implemented as soon as 2026 comes around.

”Ferguson and Commissioners Mark Meador and Melissa Holyoak said they plan to vociferously enforce the TAKE IT DOWN Act, a recently signed law that requires tech companies to remove nonconsensual sexual imagery within 48 hours of being alerted.” - Politico

If you care about LGBTQ rights and safety, contact orgs.

If you care about trans rights and safety, contact orgs.

If you care about women’s rights and free speech, contact orgs.

If you care about YOUR rights and free speech, contact orgs.

Hell, if you care about keeping the Internet open to anything at all, YOU CONTACT ORGS.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT PROTESTING AT ALL AGAINST WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR GOVERNMENT, FULL STOP, YOU NEED TO CONTACT ORGS.

Trump has LITERALLY SAID THAT HE PLANS ON USING THIS TO HIS OWN ADVANTAGE AND CENSOR HIS CRITICS. The language of this bill is TOO BROAD to ONLY target ai deepfakes. THAT IS INTENTIONAL. THEY WANT TO GIVE HIM MORE UNCHECKED POWER.

Where is the backlash that happened right after he signed it into law?? Where did it go? WE NEED THAT ENERGY AGAIN. WE NEED TO ALL URGE ORGS TO SUE AND TAKE THIS BILL TO COURT. IT HAS NO SAFEGUARDS IN ITS TEXT THAT SPECIFY IT TO ONLY AFFECT AI DEEPFAKES. IT WILL BE USED TO CENSOR LGBTQ COMMUNITIES AND OTHER GROUPS. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE SAFE FROM THIS, YOU. AREN’T. THIS WILL AFFECT EVERYONE.

CALL THE ELECTRIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION.

CALL THE ACLU.

TELL FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE.

IN THIS POLITICAL CLIMATE WHERE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AT STAKE, WHERE SO MANY LIVES ARE BEING THREATENED, THE AFFECTS OF THIS BILL WILL BE DRASTIC. IT WILL ISOLATE THE VULNERABLE, IT WILL KEEP US UNINFORMED, AND IT. WILL. SILENCE. US. OUR PROTESTS, EVERYTHING.

WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH 2025.

WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH JULY ALREADY.

WE HAVE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS TO GET THESE POLICIES CHALLENGED AND TAKEN DOWN.

SO HELP US! PLEASE!

HERE IS A BASELINE SCRIPT TO USE WHEN EMAILING ORGS. YOU CAN EDIT IT AS NEEDED TO VOICE YOUR OWN CONCERNS.

“Hello [insert org name here], I'm emailing you to call attention to the Take it Down Act, also known as TIDA.

TIDA is intended as a way to crack down on deepfake content, which often includes generated images of non-consenting individuals. In reality, this bill can and will be used by the Trump Administration as yet another overreach of government power, and to remove any content the President doesn't like from the Internet.

I urge you to please help us by challenging this bill in court as it directly goes against our 1st amendment rights.”

Get loud.

So I am fine tuning my New Sith Order AU where Vader kills Palpatine, Padme is alive and becomes empress, and Vader creates a new order of sith. Now, in this AU, I have established that Padme is NOT like Palpatine. She is kind, benevolent, and merciful. But I have been thinking, what sort of outfits should she wear?

Let’s say, for whatever reason, Final Goji needed a voice actor. Who would you pick?

The deep, dark, brooding voice of Keith David, the tough, raspy, loner’s voice of Steve Blum, or did you have another voice actor in mind?

[mightiestmonsterofthemall]

[mightiestmonsterofthemall]

In my New Sith Order AU, Empress Amidala would run things differently than Palpatine. So, would she maintain the clone army and make them stormtroopers, initiate the exact same stormtrooper program, or do something different?
