KOSA BILL AND BAD INTERNET BILLS UPDATE:
Making my own because I'm tired of kids spreading misinformation.
What happened today?
Today Kosa was signed for markup, and to our pain it passed. But that isn't the end at all, especially since two senators voiced their concerns about this bill thanks to all the people emailing and calling.
The senate is currently in recess till September, and that gives us a month to keep the calls and emails coming, to make sure this bill never becomes a law. Our fighting doesn't end here, at all.
What can i do?
Any questions?
Petitions to sign, scripts and numbers:

Y’all IK we won the senate and it’s definitely important to celebrate, but if you’re in Georgia please, please, please vote in the runoff on December 6.
If we can get 51 instead of an exact tie it will give us a little wiggle room. For the past two years, a lot of the improvements Biden has attempted to make haven’t made it passed the Senate because one or two Democrats voted no and that was all it took; if we can get Georgia too, one Democrat can vote no and the legislation will still pass. The more seats we have the better chance we have for serious, meaningful change.
Please vote December 6th.

They want to ban tiktok because it’s how young people are getting information and organizing. That’s it. Nothing more. They fear an informed public, and especially an informed youth.
Jean-Pierre’s statement echoes a broader trend among Biden administration officials: the belief that TikTok presents an opportunity for a foreign government to manipulate the views of Americans. A spokesperson for Biden’s National Security Council tells Rolling Stone the TikTok bill “is an important and welcome step in ongoing efforts to address the threat posed by certain technology services operating in the United States that put at risk Americans’ personal information and our broader national security, including through the manipulation by foreign powers of Americans’ views and beliefs.” The Biden administration’s support for the bill comes as pro-Palestine content has flourished on the app, and the president faces increasing pressure to cut off military aid to Israel.
This bill is being voted on in the House TOMORROW the 13th. It's being fast tracked because the last time they tried to do this the normal way, they received so much pushback the bill became a poison pill. We need to push back AGAIN. Call your representatives at

I’ve “met” Senator @corybooker several times virtually, and he’s always promised me a big hug when we finally met in person.
Last week in DC, I cashed in big time.

Remember what the true meaning of the Ides of March is. It's not about the vibe checking of one politician but the vibe checking of a politician together.
Celebrate the holiday the way it was meant to be celebrated 💜

Senate 2022: You'd Better Vote!
If you're an American VERY IMPORTANT! elections are coming up on November 8th. Since the 2020 election the US Senate has been tied at 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans with Vice-President Harris casting the tie breaking vote that gives Democrats their majority. Even with such a tight margin Democrats have managed to pass the largest climate action taken by any country so far on earth (yet), lower prescription drug costs, pass the first gun control law since the 1990s , made lynching a federal crime after over 100 years of trying, made Juneteenth a federal holiday, confirmed the first black woman ever to serve on the Supreme Court, passed a trillion dollar infrastructure bill to rebuild our roads, bridges, transportation, better internet, clean water, and support electric cars, saved the US Post Office, passed a renewal of the Violence Against Women Act which had been in limbo since 2019.
Imagine all that the Democrats in the Senate could get done in the next 2 years with a stable majority? On the Flip side if Republicans net just one seat Mitch McConnell has made it clear there will be no progress if he's majority leader again. There are 35 Senate seats up on November 8th, I'm gonna list out the 9 seats with vulnerable Democrats who need re-electing and seats Democrats can flip to expand their majority. Everyone needs to vote, but voting is the start, the most basic thing you need to do, if you live in any of these states PLEASE sign up to volunteer for these candidates, to go talk to voters, to register new voters, to give rides to the polls etc. If you don't live in any of these states, you can still volunteer to make phone calls or text voters it's easy! if you have money to give please please give money campaigns are so expensive. Finally most of these campaigns have merch shops so if you feed more comfortable buying a shirt or a bag or whatever do that lots of them have cool pro-choice things.

As a US Senator Cortez Masto has been a major supporter of clean energy jobs and hopes to turn Nevada into the solar energy capital of America.

Because New Hampshire has one of the latest primaries (September 13th) we don't know for sure which Republican will be nominated to face her in November. The front runner is a retired general named Don Bolduc. Bolduc's first foray into into politics was spinning and supporting 2020 election denial conspiracy theories, even after the January 6th riot. Bolduc has closely tied himself to Trump. Bolduc called fellow Republican, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu "Chinese Communist sympathizer" and accused him of "supports terrorism" for not being conservative enough and loyal to Trump enough.

Prank the White House
Vlad had problems as mayor of Amity Park,"Ghost attacks" don't count as villain attacks, so the repair wasn't paid.
Vlad had a genius idea for using Danny for it. But Danny complained that it would make people think that Phantom was a villain, so Vlad had to fix it.
He turned Danny into a toddler. Now who would declare him a villain? Without looking like the villain themselves!
+
But while older Danny would works for money, toddler Danny didn't work that way.
Jazz, while hugging her baby brother, looked at Vlad and said, " Money doesn't work with toddler Danny. You should have thought it through fully."
Vlad: "I will pay you candy for all your life."
Danny:" Deal!"
+
That was how Danny started to haunt the White House and Senate for candy and make sure that Vlad was able to get money from the ghost attacks.
After all, it's a ghost!
+
As the Justice League was called to capture the Meta toddler, it ended badly, as Batman lost his Batman candy as the toddler just took the candy and left. Saying if he does it more, he will get more candy.
So, the new plan is to find the contractor, as the toddler wouldn't cause that much chaos. Just making the politicians go crazy. And that isn't really a crime.
++
In the end
They chose to allow him to stay with them, while the toddler was a time bomb.But one they were unwilling to get rid of when he first showcased his power to make a shield that stopped a whole attack from Brainiac and his army as he tried to attack them.
Brainiac was now the living meme of "Let Me In!"
The new plan is:"Give him candy, let him play BUT FIND OUT WHO GAVE HIM THE CONTRACT TO HAUNT THEM! "
++
Vlad thinks his plan failed.
And with Jazz's help he did bring Danny back. He will have a new plan.
+
That was how Meta the toddler was missing from the White House as a vampire kidnapped him.

Libs and Dems love using that "leopards eating my face party" meme to poke at Republican women and queers but like
Youre asking us to vote for man committing genocide overseas because you think he wouldn't do the same to you. Even though it's him opening the wallet for it to happen and he didn't give a shit when you protested and called and marched for him to stop, did he?
In fact let me see here, what he did was *checks notes* tell the collective USA to get fucked cuz he's gonna keep supporting Israel committing war crimes. Which is currently causing a massive party divide. Headlines from today:

Oh right and he did this.

After he did this already

And hows your healthcare look? Your rent? Your gas tank? Groceries? Your paycheck? Winter is coming up for the USA and how often are you gonna worry about paying the electric bill?
And he wants to use more of your taxes to keep committing war crimes, knowing full well that you're already struggling.
And you think that guy will protect you from Republicans and Fascists?
