2000 LGBTQ+ activists to lawmakers & civil society orgs that support Trump censorship bills: stay home from pride
To Lawmakers and Civil Society Organizations, We are a coalition of LGBTQ+ activists, artists, and community organizers writing with one simple message: if you support the dangerous censorship bills that are threatening our community, seeing you at Pride this year is going to be a gut punch.

Internet censorship is bad for alphabet people, but it's also bad for the straights. It's bad for everyone. It's just bad.

Kinda but more directed towards lawmakers or congress to stay home who state they support the community by going to pride events or protests against the administration but in reality support the censorship towards the community. The examples of bills tell me it's directed towards the lawmakers or politicians.
This headline... do I smell toast?
What is the technology angle here? What does this have to do with technology?
Just noticed KOSA starts with KOS. Was that
internationalintentional, like DOGE?
