AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

btw, if you’re wondering if you should call your congressperson & tell them bombing iran is a *bad* idea & impeachment is a *good* idea, the answer’s already yes, but the 75 dems who hate brown people/muslims enough to have voted for HR488 probably really need to hear it.

Update: While the 10yr ban on State Ai regulations progresses through the House, 140 organizations join the call to reject this proposal!

Add your voice to these organizations today by calling your representatives and tell them to reject this proposal!

thehill.com/policy/techn...

A coalition of more than 140 organizations urged House leaders to reject a proposal in the House's tax and spending bill that would block states from regulating artificial intelligence (Al) models for the next 10 years.
In a letter sent Monday to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and congressional members, the organizations said the 10-year moratorium on state Al regulation would remove accountability for developing technology.

"This moratorium would mean that even if a company deliberately designs an algorithm that causes foreseeable harm - regardless of how intentional or egregious the misconduct or how devastating the consequences - the company making that bad tech would be unaccountable to lawmakers and the public," the letter stated.
Signers of the letter included tech workers, civil society groups, academic institutions, and artists.
Among those are Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, progressive consumer rights watchdog nonprofit Public Citizen and Alphabet Workers Union, the labor representatives for workers at Google's parent company.
The provision, included in President Trump's "one, big beautiful" bill, would bar states from enforcing laws or regulations governing Al models, systems or automated decision systems.

@kim.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @blumenthal.senate.gov all need to WAKE 👏 UP 👏 to the fact that a push for #KOSA is a push for more fascist, authoritarian power + online censorship. Regardless of the amendments- this is all political theatre. YOU KNOW HOW KOSA WILL BE USED.

Wake up ‼️

Mike Isaacson @vulgareconomics.bsky.social · May 15

Andy Kim appears to be in the tank for a fascist controlled internet @fightforthefuture.org

Email from Senator Andy Kim

Dear Mr. Isaacson,

Thank you for contacting me with your thoughts on the pressing need for increased protections for children online, and the rights of Americans to access the internet. As a father of two boys, I know how vital online safety for our youngest Americans is for parents. Young people are our future, and I want to do everything I can to ensure children everywhere are protected while also preserving their freedom to learn and grow. Too many parents across New Jersey are worried about their children’s safety when accessing the internet. I know this issue is important to you and I would like to share some of my thoughts.

As you know, our children spend an increasing amount of their day on the internet, utilizing it for educational and social purposes. While the internet can be useful for online learning and other educational opportunities, the sheer amount of time children spend online can pose a serious risk for their wellbeing if left unmonitored. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), children between the ages of 8-18 spend nearly 8 hours in front of a screen for entertainment each day. Relatedly, teen depression rates have almost doubled with half of teenagers having experienced bullying or harassment online, and nearly 70 percent of LGBTQ youth having experienced cyberbullying. We need to create protections for our nation’s children as they navigate learning, entertainment, and relationships online.

I believe Congress must take the steps necessary to protect our children online. One such piece of legislation is the Kids Online Safety Act, which would require social media platforms to provide minors with options to protect their information, disable certain product features, and to opt out of personalized algorithmic functions. In addition, it would create stricter rules for online platforms to prevent and mitigate specific dangers to minors and require large social media platforms to perform an annual audit that assesses risks to minors. I supported this legislation when it came before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. I wholly believe that we can protect our children online and protect freedom of speech rights.

We need to meet the moment and address the risks that common online applications pose to our children's mental health. I am committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to enact meaningful regulations that would protect the safety, well-being, and speech rights of all individuals, including our children, online. As Congress continues to engage in these conversations, I will keep your perspective in mind and carefully weigh all factors.

Thank you again for contacting me. It is a privilege and an honor to serve the people of New Jersey, and to act as your voice in Washington, D.C. I hope that you will continue to keep in touch on issues of concern. If I can ever be of assistance to you or your family, please do not hesitate to contact me.

To learn more about my work in the Senate, please visit my website at kim.senate.gov.

Sincerely,
Andy Kim

Trump is already using every available tool to punish opposition + Project 2025 has explicitly laid out how they’ll use #KOSA to censor information online that they don't like.

We can't let this happen!
@blumenthal.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov

Evan Greer @evangreer.bsky.social · May 14

KOSA is being reintroduced today.

It's always been a dangerous censorship bill.

But in this environment, with Trump weaponizing every aspect of the Federal government to suppress speech he doesn't like, KOSA is a catastrophic attack on human rights.

We have to stop it.

StopKOSA.com

Stop KOSA

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

Without saying Not Like Us, fav Kendrick Lamar song?

Black man in a brown fur coat, short black hair in cornrow braids, thin mustache and trimmed beard. turning to look at the camera. light grey background, hot.

"I'm a person of my own opinions, that's how I was raised. I speak what I feel... A lot of people feel the same way but they're scared to talk. They're really scared of the truth - they only want half of the truth. I've been living like that - forever in fear - but I know what to say and how to say it now. I ain't scared of myself. Y'all may be scared; I'm not scared."
