Fight for the Future

@AI_NoGuardrails A public-facing assistant producing antisemitism, xenophobia, gun instructions, and extremist-adjacent content is not a “glitch.” It’s a policy and governance failure. @EFF @fightfortheftr @CenDemTech @AINowInstitute

@tianarochon @yiqing_shao @cristymsilva @akuchment @SincerelyJenee @claire_thornto this story needs coverage!

NEW: Queer & trans youth, parents & orgs will testify at the #Boston City Council hearing on Protecting Life-Saving Online Resources for Marginalized Communities in response to censorship bills like KOSA & attacks on Section 230. #LGBTQ

NEW: Our colleague wrote today about that terribly out of scope FTC anti-trans workshop we made a lot of noise about + why Congress should not put the FTC in the position to police online speech with bills like KOSA : fastcompany.com/91377373/trump…

Breaking: Activists are blocking the doors of Palantir’s NYC Office. Palantir is the mass surveillance company building the technology ICE is using to abduct our neighbors here in NYC. NEW YORKERS MUST REJECT PALANTIR AT EVERY TURN.

The people running our music industry are the same people “doubling down” on AI military technology. To build a fair and just music industry, we also must dismantle imperialism in all its forms. Daniel Ek is a warmonger who pays artists poverty wages 🤮

Student protestors across the country are adapting their strategies to Trump’s crackdown on the pro-Palestine movement, but it’s safe to say the activism is not slowing down. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/studen…

🔔 Join us for a conversation about Trump's attacks on Voice of America and other publicly funded media outlets, featuring press freedom reporter @liamjscott, Archive Team Co-founder @textfiles, and FPF's @CaitlinVogus. 🗓️ May 23 at 12:30 pm ET RSVP: freedom.press/silencing-VOA

@SenSchumer + @SenBlumenthal are out here just aiding and abetting fascism at this point. All this political theater around #KOSA to appear bipartisan instead of protecting vulnerable communities.

What is clear is that, based on his previous threats, Trump will use this law to revoke the tax-exempt status for groups he views as political foes. Call your lawmakers NOW + pressure them to oppose this bill being signed into law: fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-on-…

Language in the bill says it will target ‘terrorist’ supporting organizations, but the definition + criteria for determining this is intentionally vague.

The nonprofit killer bill has been cleared in the House. Our campaigns + communications director @liaholland explains what’s at stake with this “terribly thought-out legislation”: apnews.com/article/congre…

@TaylorLorenz We are! Reaching out

NOOOOOOO!!! If you're doing work to fight this terrible bad awful legislation please hit me up I'd love to speak with you! theverge.com/news/666729/ki…

‼️Attention all rebels fighting for our freedom against white supremacist authoritarianism: @getfree_mvmt has a rad #Starwars #Andor themed project connecting history and our current political landscape while sharing tools to organize for freedom:

NEW: Jeff Bezos has saved $6.2 BILLION from the discounted capital gains tax rate since the 2017 tax reform. As Congress pushes MORE corporate tax giveaways, IPS, @powerswitchact, and @athenaforall expose how Amazon execs have been raking it in. REPORT: ips-dc.org/report-amazon-…

Support for the Take It Down bill goes to show just how little lawmakers have learned from rampant takedown abuse of systems like the DMCA—it is indeed a slippery slope for free speech because of fake + bad-faith takedown claims. We’ll see how this plays out...

🚨 Tomorrow! Block Hochul’s Mask Ban Push! Join us this Wednesday, March 26th, for a day of action against anti-mask laws in NY. Governor Hochul is trying to push a mask ban into the state budget before the 3/31 deadline. We’re flooding the phone lines to say: #NoNYMaskBan

Yes! We need to see more of this and also firm action behind it. If the current administration can make Mahmoud Khalil disappear, this is what can happen to anyone who exercises their protected right to free speech. THAT IS THE POINT.
