“You simply cannot fit more America into a single incident than a man dying a horrifying death in protest of war crimes while a first responder screams at cops to stop pointing their guns at him and go get fire extinguishers. If you were to pick a single moment in history to sum up the essence and expression of the US empire, that would be it.”

in mesopotamia there were no 'cover letters' or 'curriculum vitaes'. there were just, pots.
This act will harm content creators that are POC or LGBTQIA+!! If you care about apps and platforms where your favorite fandoms are or your favorite content creators are ESPECIALLY if they are apart of the LGBTQ community or a POC person!! This act will wipe most sites/creators that are deemed as a “hazard” to kids and their mental health.
It has even passed on to the House of Representatives now! While it is a long way from being past, it is still a very urgent issue that must be addressed. Two (forgive me if I make a mistake here) senators from different states raised concerns when debating the bill the other day, our voices do have a difference!! Email and call your senators and sign as many petitions as possible!!
Another thing, the language used in the bill has been changed, they have updated the guidelines and it’s even worse than we thought as it’s even more clear they are going to try and silence LGBTQIA+ creators!!
The KOSA act is affecting people by taking away privacy first of all and wont be able to use social media and minors will have restrictions.
If this bill gets passed first of all it will be against the first and fourth amendment second of all we won’t be able to use social media anymore and we will always be monitored forever!

“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]
“Target Israel and we will target you,” the senators tell Khan, adding that they will “sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States.”
Rather ominously, the letter concludes: “You have been warned.” In a statement to Zeteo, Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said, “It is fine to express opposition to a possible judicial action, but it is absolutely wrong to interfere in a judicial matter by threatening judicial officers, their family members and their employees with retribution. This thuggery is something befitting the mafia, not U.S. senators.”
While neither Israel nor the United States are members of the ICC, the Palestinian territories were admitted with the status of a member state in April 2015. Khan, a British lawyer, was appointed as the ICC’s chief prosecutor in February 2021, a week after the court had already decided, by majority, that its territorial jurisdiction extended to “Gaza and the West Bank.”
In the wake of the attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, Khan announced that the court had jurisdiction over any potential war crimes committed both by Hamas militants in Israel and by Israeli forces in Gaza. The ICC, per the Rome Statute of 2002, can charge individuals with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide – and recent reports suggest Israeli officials increasingly believe that the ICC is preparing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other senior cabinet and military officials.
On Friday, The Hague-based office of the chief prosecutor published an unprecedented statement on Twitter, calling for an end to threats of retaliation against the ICC and attempts to “impede” and “intimidate” its officials. The statement added that such threats could “constitute an offence against the administration of justice” under the Rome Statute.
