If you live in the #us, please write your #senators and #congressmen about the #screenact. The SCREEN Act is going to implement #internet policy similar to the UK here in the United States. It creates a surveillance nanny-state and sets a dangerous precedent. We don’t need it! We need parents to be parents and restrict their children from viewing objectionable material on the internet.

So #Senators are wanting to now block #piracy websites in the #USA. The #censorship of the internet is heavily upon us.
I already run my instances through a #VPN and then I also have I2P as my backup.

#Senators Signal They’re Prepared to Push Back Against #NASA Cuts
During a hearing to mark up the Senate’s proposed Commerce, Justice, Science budget, which funds NASA, members of the appropriations committee revealed that their bill would provide the agency with $24.9 billion, roughly the amount it received for 2025.
That’s a sharp departure from President Donald Trump’s budget request for NASA, which called for a 24% decrease to agency’s budget.

Our pressure is working—but we’re not done yet. Now’s the moment to double down.
Call 202-224-3121. Email. DM. Tag your #Senators.
Tell them to kill this cruel #bill. Keep the heat on from every inbox, rooftop, and group chat.
We started this fight—let’s finish it.

This video shows the full footage of the #assault on #SenAlexPadilla. Shocking and unconscionable. I hope he sues. #republican #senators should be asked relentlessly their reaction to this. How they would have responded if President Biden’s #SecretService had done this to a Republican Senator.

#Senators to #Noem: Axing review board puts 'lives at risk'
A group of Democratic senators has urged #HomelandSecurity Secretary #KristiNoem to reestablish the Cyber Safety Review Board (#CSRB), which had been investigating how #China's #SaltTyphoon hacked US government and telecommunications networks.

Two things about Trump's deployment of #NationalGuard in #LosAngeles.
1. This was always going to happen, and isn't even the first salvo of the civil war Trump intends to wage against #California. The first was his attempt to drain our #water reservoirs: https://mastodon.circle.lt/@dmitry/113930252987507064
2. Timing of this escalation isn't random. Trump's #BigBeautifulBillionaireBonanza bill is at risk. He needs a distraction to help #Republican #Senators pass it without losing their seats in 2026.
Watch the #Senate.
Circle of LightDmitry Borodaenko (@dmitry@mastodon.circle.lt)They still choose to believe this is incompetence.
Anyone remember how I told y'all that #Russia's been waging #war on the United States since 2004? Even now, after they started a major war in #Europe, most people think I was fucking hyperbolic.
Well, now Trump has started a civil war against #California, and he went straight for California's weakest spot: #water. This is going to cripple our agriculture for years, at least until the next El Niño:

This #corruption has a human cost. Tell your #Senators to demand a full public debate and vote to block all #arms sales to governments tied up with #Trump’s personal business interests. https://act.winwithoutwar.org/go/42315?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fsecure.actblue.com%2Fdonate%2Fa_qatar_uae_nd%3Frefcode%3Dem20250522_2&t=10&akid=10464%2E1013926%2EC0y_Hm
act.winwithoutwar.orgTell the Senate: Block all arms sales to governments involved in Trump’s personal business dealings ABC News reports it may be the “most valuable gift EVER extended to the United States from a foreign government:”
The Qatari royal family is preparing to gift Trump a $400 million “palace in the sky” that he plans to use as Air Force One -- until he transfers the Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to his presidential library foundation.
It’s a security risk. It’s a corruption concern. It’s likely unconstitutional. And nothing is free.
But the cost is so much higher than private jets and tech: These “gifts” and “investments” come amidst news of record-breaking arms sales: including nearly $2 BILLION in advanced MQ-9B drones to Qatar.
If you’re thinking “someone should do something,” the good news is that someone is. The Senate has the authority to check Trump’s self-dealing weapon sales, and Senator Chris Murphy has vowed to force a vote to do exactly that. The thing is, even a Senator can’t work alone.
Click “Start Writing” to send a message to your Senators urging them to block all arms sales to governments involved in Trump’s personal business dealings.
I'd like to second this.
Opposed? Get in the tomb.
Murkowski wasn't speaking on behalf of
fired fed WKRs, participants in CXL #NIH health trials, parents worried -kids might get measles, or ppl of UA who face a sell-out.
The ppl who've real reasons to be afraid of losing their liberty, jobs, #healthcare, & very existence -not the subject of her remarks -not incl in her “we" -most privileged ppl on the planet: #Senators.
#Retaliation: If they're afraid for their physical safety *should go to: authorities &/or LE.

#Voting is the beginning, not the end.
Another way to frame it is: #Vote *and*...
What comes after the *and* depends on your circumstances. Here are some things, and this is a partial list. Before you do anything, evaluate where you're at and what you can reasonably expect yourself to do. It's not *all* on you or anyone else, so don't over-commit.
- Most people can make some choices about consumption. What you purchase and from where you purchase it. If you are struggling to make ends meet, this may be all you can do.
- Some people have time and good phone plans. If that's you, you can also call your #senators and your #congress critter (gender-neutral term).
- Some people have time and mobility. If that's you, you can show up. This can mean protesting, volunteering, etc.
- Some people have money. If that's you, you can support independent journalists, or #candidates running against #fascism, legal funds, community organizations, etc.
- Some people have skills, and time or money. If that's you, you can run for office, volunteer in your community, or get together with community members to address an unmet community need.
