KOSA IS MOVING FORWARD IN THE HOUSE (Jun 22, 2026)

It's part of a package called the KIDS Act, filled with digital ID and age verification and censorship.

MAKE THOSE PHONES RING!! CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES ALL WEEK

202-224-3121

[privacy-is-a-human-right]

Important: it was heavily voted in favor for by both republicans AND democrats. I was seeing people insisting this is a republican thing, but don't be fooled. It's both parties. Both parties want the same thing for us. Please pay attention to this. Please call your representatives.

[asksanguinius40k]

Im genuinely starting to think its hopeless... they arent even acknowledging our arguments

[flare4688]

Things to consider for everyone to on opposing age verification/ID

Fundraiser/Donations: Seen this on another post but it will make it harder for people who will then have a hard decision of either exposing their information, or go without money.

Artists: Many of them do depend on commissions from people online, and for some artists, their accounts are at risk.

Everything is online: Literally everything we do in our lives depends on having access to a phone/computer/internet because they made it so to the point that we can't even survive without it.

Might add more, later.

well the house (aka big techs best friends) passed the bill let's make sure the Senate doesn't!

but my message is still this to anyone who supports this bill and anyone trying to pass it:

"Well I won't back down,

Gonna stand my ground,

won't be turned around,

You can stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

"Well I know what's right

I have just one life

In a world that keeps on pushing me around

But I stand my ground

And I won't back down"

- Tom Petty, I won't back down 1989.

*******************

please call your congressman do whatever you have to do just call them email them right to them whatever you have to do but for the love of God don't let this pass if you do we've lost and I refuse to lose my freedom because that is what is at stake that in our children safety they want to say think of the children while I'm thinking that they aren't but I am thinking that we should since they won't and the only way we can really think of them in good conscience is to know that if we stop this bill we save them and ourselves if we let it pass we're no better than the house that passed this godforsaken bill,.. just think about that.

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet.

So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet.

You aren’t mad enough.

Trump Moves to Deeply Censor the Entire Internet

The Trump administration is cynically exploiting calls for stricter AI regulation to pass broad censorship measures at the federal level.

So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.

So, if you live in the US and hate censorship and AI you know what to do, contact your congresspeople and tell them do not fucking dare let this through or so help us god...

[titleknown]

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The bastards just worked out a deal on the package, and they're going to try and ram it through the House in the next couple of weeks.

So, if you've been waiting to call, the time is NOW. Do it ASAP, be polite, be informed, but light up those phones like a Christmas tree!

Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost

The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction

The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity

We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either

Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender

The gods didn’t actually have animal heads

Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)

The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous

Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are “there is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicity”

[thatlittleegyptologist]

The carvings at Abydos aren’t modern machines but recarvings over old carvings. Sure they look like them but if you can read hieroglyphs and know that Ramesses II will even usurp the carvings of his own father just to be a little shit

[rudjedet]

‘No soot on the ceilings and walls of the Dendera temple!’ is actually because of extensive restoration works and not because Egyptians were in on shit like Baghdad “batteries”

While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didn’t align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years ago 

The pyramid is the simplest, sturdiest shape with which to build and many different cultures discovered this in their own time. There were never any weird fish humans/aliens involved

[rudjedet]

The sphinx of Gizah is only an approximate 5000 years old; the 10,000 year/rain erosion nonsense is proven hokum

Speaking of that particular sphinx, the Napoleonic expedition is not responsible for its missing nose

Akhenaten was not a “heretic” by contemporary standards

Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessors’ buildings/reliefs and isn’t really deserving of the epithet “the Great”

The Battle of Kadesh ended in a stalemate (twice)

[rudjedet]

While they had feline deities throughout their history, Egyptians didn’t actually worship cats themselves. This was a later Greek/Ptolemaeic addition

It was not, in fact, practice to shave off eyebrows after cats died; Herodotus lied about that

Herodotus lied about a lot of things and many misconceptions about ancient Egypt can be traced back to his Greek ass

[rudjedet]

I can’t believe I forgot my favourite Hill to Die On

Seth was not the god of “evil”, and despite his chaos providing a foil to order, he wasn’t completely villified until very late in Egyptian history, when he became associated with despised foreign enemies

[rudjedet]

Hats off to the few of you who’re reblogging this with tags saying you’re going to check my claims later. You make me not entirely despair of this hellhole.
