KOSA will absolutely be used to actively target and discriminate against LGBTQIA+ people; it will be used to frame literally *Existing* as an LGBTQIA+ person as "pornographic;" you can know this because Blackburn has admitted it out loud.
Do not let this fucking bill pass. Call your senators, now.

KOSA is vile & every single republican openly plans to weaponize it.
blackburn straight up said it exists to “protect minors from the transgender in society” & 22 GOP attorneys general openly said, “yes, i *would* use it to go after abortion info.”

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?

I'm just thinking about the Afghan refugee kids i know who learned English from YouTube and speak in fluent gen alpha brain rot. They're more assimilated than Trump and they've been here for 6 months.

Politicians really need to stop using X to assess public opinion on any given subject, at this point they might as well be relying on 4chan.
This isn't even true as a matter of a dictionary definition. Bribery requires a quid pro quo, but corruption does not!
Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
The definition of corruption has traditionally focused on dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power. This essay proposes a new definition.
