The ride don't stop until you make it stop.
Good news, now we can report all those christians online that won't shut the fuck up!!
America needs a reset or to be splintered. The one we have is straight up evil.
I'm American, and I vote heavily splintered. We are constantly doing shit that is profoundly evil, so we need to be weakened enough that we don't have the ability to project power outside our own borders, for the safety of the Middle East and other small countries the world over.
I wonder how fast left leaning youtubers will go down.
Remember, America, it's through your inaction that these changes are possible. Really, they should be thanking you for standing aside and letting them remodel the whole government.
I'm fighting back in the ways I can.
Namely by reducing my contribution to the eternal consumption engine while convincing others to do the same so our rulers have fewer resources to use against us.
Democrats on lemmy after the election: Not voting against Trump is no better than a vote for him.
Democrats after a vote that allows Trump to censor whomever he wants: Not voting is #Resistance.
Oligarchs gonna oligarch.
Isn’t this what the DMCA is for?
I think you mean the communications decency act? Most of that has been found to be unconstitutional as will likely be the fate of this bill...
Not with the MAGA Supreme Court on the job.
That's a possibility, but laws like this cut in many directions.

House of Representatives passed the TAKE IT DOWN
I am confused. The title say congress passed the bill while the article says the house is the one that passed it (so congress should be next).
Which is it?
The bill has passed both the Senate and House so now the president just has to sign it.
Which he would gladly do. Very sad
Literally the most basic of basic civics... Depressing.
Congress is our legislators. Our Congress is "bicameral". It is broken down into two houses: the Senate (upper house of Congress), and the House of Representatives (lower house of Congress).
People often use "Congress" as a shorthand for the House of Representatives (but only when they also mention the Senate to make the distinction. Or at least some sort of context making it clear they mean the House).
However, technically, "Congress" includes both houses.
Nobody refers to the Senate alone as "Congress," and if they do, they're doing it wrong and likely causing all sorts of confusion.
how many countries are there in the world these days? cause whatever the number is, that's where we are in education.
