This, of course, from a legislator who hates taxes so much that last year he voted to pass an amendment to block new taxes unless there was a two-thirds supermajority vote. (It failed.)

He would also like you to know that he is VERY masculine.
Declaring "my pronouns are 'masculine male'' really get this guy soooooclose

A conservative Utah lawmaker is trying to raise taxes on people who consume porn.

HB73 would force Utahns to pay a special 7% tax — on top of sales tax — for every fan site subscription, camming tip, clip download or other purchase of "material harmful to minors."
Utah lawmakers aim their sights at streaming services, porn sites for taxes
A bill introduced in the Utah State Legislature would impose a new tax on pornographic websites, while a separate piece of legislation closes a tax loophole on streaming services.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

"why do you have to post and repost messages about the BDS boycott every time there's a new game announcement or set of trailers"

because there's this weird phenomenon of active forgetting that Microsoft is a tech partner of one of the most heinous crimes against humanity happening on earth today

Let's be real, we cannot abolish ICE under this administration. But we can start the process by taking away the tools they’re using to surveil and target our communities. Push to defund them until abolishment is possible. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

ICYMI: DHS has been funded with a short term bill lasting only two weeks while lawmakers negotiate ‘safeguards' to reign in ICE. You all made over 1500 calls last week with our tool & we need to keep the pressure on Dems not settle for weak reforms. ⬇️

It’s called socialism and it doesn’t have billionaires or capitalists at all because they are unnecessary and inhibit societies advancement at this point

The nazis raided and burned the first gender clinic. The Reagan revolution closed down most of the gender clinics in the US and left coverage uninsurable for decades. We've been here before. We'll get through just as we always have. With strength and resilience in community. They can't eradicate us.

Congressional lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are gearing up for #Section230 repeal, but this could mean an end to social media as we know it.

Keep up your calls! Don't relent!

#SaveSpeech #Protect230
There’s a lot of misinformation floating around touting a Section 230 repeal as the way to go to reign in Big Tech.

This is not only untrue but a huge threat to social media platforms and the broader internet as we know it.

this unprecedented momentum behind a single issue sure might be a useful fulcrum to try and wrench this country back from over the brink
74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.

Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

As a reminder, most business executives that have to touch A Computer while away from the office do so via a Virtual Private Network (VPN), which allows them to adjust profit forecasts from their second boat without spilling secrets to competitors and/or regulators
The failure of age-verification laws is now turning into a War on VPNs. The British government and a number of US states are now proposing that VPNs be banned entirely, or only accessible to those who have surrendered to facial scans, ID check and other identity verification.
'The UK war on VPNs is an embarrassment' – backlash grows over proposed VPN age-checks
Critics are warning against proposals to restrict VPN access — but will the plans actually become law?

Democrats should say if they take Congress they will investigate Elon Musks pedophile-enabling service because Republicans won’t. They should also say they will review all his SpaceX contracts so the American taxpayers aren’t financing the creation of kiddie porn.
