the kids online safety act passed the u.s. senate.
long story short (for anyone who hadn't heard of this before) the kids online safety act, aka kosa, is a bill that will censor online content and resources for lgbtq+ matters, reproductive healthcare, activism (INCLUDING PALESTINE AND LIKELY OTHER CRISES GOING ON LIKE IN CONGO OR SUDAN), mental health, etc. everywhere--its effects likely won't be contained to just america.
today, july 30th, 2024, the senate passed it 91-3. it has officially moved to the house of representatives.
is this a pretty massive setback? yes. do you have every right to be scared, sad, angry, or whatever else about this happening? absolutely. but should you give up hope completely? NO!
even though kosa passed the senate, the house is on break/august recess at the moment. we have around an entire month to get emails, calls, and faxes in to house reps, maybe more depending on when they decide to vote on it.
should it pass the house and get signed into law, we still have a whole 18 months before it actually goes into effect. this is plenty of time for digital rights orgs (e.g. fight for the future, the electronic frontier foundation) and other groups that oppose it to file a lawsuit against it. even if, worst-case scenario, it flies through the house immediately after the recess ends, we can still fight this up to march 2026.
so, yes, remember what's at stake here, but also remember that it's not over yet. we lost a battle, not the war.
below are some resources to learn more about kosa and how to contact your reps (first link) + a page that lets you directly contact progressive house reps, sign an open letter opposing the bill, and view others' testimonies against it (second link):
FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.

HELP SHAHED REACH 50K WITHIN THE WEEK
Cannot express how terrifying it has been to watch donations to Shahed's gfm drop so immediately after she met her $40k goal. Shahed has been working tirelessly - at great expense to herself, oftentimes right in the aftermath of escaping massacres by a hair - to save her sisters from danger, and while we've seen some success on that front that isn't the end of this road.
Her end goal is still $80k to evacuate her entire family of 17 people.
She has only barely gotten halfway past that, at 45k/80k
But the support has dried up like the battle is already over.
Most of my followers probably know her at this point, but if you're new here, shahed is a 21 year old who is fundraising to evacuate her family to safety. Her initial goal was to just get $40k USD so that she can get at least her younger siblings and her father (sick with hepatitis and with a heart condition that needs surgery urgently) out of gaza in time for the egyptian border to reopen. But now that she has crossed that threshold, she can finally begin to consider her own evacuation along with the rest of her family.
I want to remind everyone that her situation is still urgent and ongoing. I have talked about it before but i hate how it seems that people have to wait until something shocking happens to see palestinians as real people who deserve help, as if it isn't constantly shocking and horrific. It does not end everytime we hit any milestone, and the people behind these fundraisers still exist and suffer even after the “fad” has ended.
When we hit 40k last friday, even though it was what she had been praying for weeks, shahed couldn't be happy about it cause the very next morning she got displaced from where she was encamped at khan younis yet AGAIN due to the intense bombing by the iof near her camp. She was texting me through it all with shaking hands, telling me she didn't know what would happen next even while it all while explosions were happening just outside her flimsy tent.
Everytime they are displaced, they lose a little something more as they dig into precious funds that ought to be going into getting food and water and leave behind more personal belongings to make the move faster. Can you imagine losing what little you have all over again, over and over again, after you have lost your entire home and so many friends and family for no fault of your own?
Gaza has now been reported to have a polio epidemic as well, and has no infrastructure whatsoever left to combat it. There are unvaccinated babies and children there RIGHT NOW, who are in serious danger every single day they are delayed and forced to go through this. Shahed's youngest sibling Bilal, who is just a baby, is one of them.
I cannot put into words the shame it makes me feel to see old posts about her 40k short term goal still going around with people celebrating in the tags, while on this side im hearing from shahed about how her family is on the verge of starvation right now even as we are still failing to get shahed past her next goal of 50k, never mind the 80k she needs to evacuate her whole family.
I want to remind you all that this is still a genocide. We try to take the small victories when they so rarely come, but this is STILL a genocide. The goal posts will always ALWAYS keep changing as the situation develops, and we cannot afford to lose momentum everytime a goal is reached. If you see a post where a short term goal has been reached but the fundraiser itself has another few thousand dollars left to raise, i NEED you to take that as your cue to assume that the situation has changed in some way and check in.
Because maybe the families doing the fundraising get to celebrate their rare wins, but WE in the world outside gaza don't get to. We HAVE to keep demanding for more, we HAVE to keep pushing, we CANNOT rest, because people like shahed and her family deserve so much more. Frankly the same goes for demanding a ceasefire, but thats not the point of this post atm.
All i ask is that you take her situation seriously, and please don't punish her for the small gains she has made lately by assuming that she has it handled now. The numbers do NOT reflect the support she is getting, nor the urgency.
This gfm is verified and appears on hussein and nairuz's list of vetted fundraisers, so dont hesitate to share and donate. Let's at least try to get shahed to 50k within this week, she is less than 5k away.
Please donate any amount you can, share it in you whatsapp groups, share it in your discord servers, this CANNOT wait. Repost this gfm anywhere on social media where you have reach, because i can't do this alone.
Another fundraiser I'd like to bring more attention to is that of Munna and her family.
Munna has 3 children, Rima, who is a teenager, Salah, an 11 year old, and Lina, who is only 5 years old. Their family has been forced to evacuate and they've been living in a small tent for the last 9 months of this ongoing genocide. They've faced countless dangers, from the threat of Israeli artillery to the famine and shortage of clean water.
Below you can see a video of young Lina, speaking about her family's situation
This family is saving up the funds currently to evacuate to Egypt, where they will be safe and the children will be able to continue their education and receive proper nutrition and healthcare.
This fundraiser is extremely low on funds, having not even reached £1000 of their end goal of £30,000. Every donation will go towards helping this family and every share spreads young Lina's message further.
KOSA update 7/25/24:
Well, unsurprisingly, KOSA passed the Senate procedural vote 86-1.
Proof:
Again, they still have to vote on the final passage & the House still has to vote on it as well.
So, focus on your House Representative now; Continue to call them & tell them to vote ‘No’ to KOSA. Remember: There is more opposition to KOSA in the House.
Spread this around. Don’t panic!
Keep calm & keep fighting!!

!!EMERGENCY FUNDS!!
Recently I have been very sick from spending a lot of time on the streets, enduring cold and this worsened my health, I was afraid this would happen, and it did. I have to be with oxygen cylinders to be able to breathe better when I got agitated, I am lacking a lot of air, and I am left without breathing, I am going to be discharged but I need to be in a cool, warm place, without humidity, and they ask me to take care of me a lot.
Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.
