The most important thing I learned after Uvalde is that there are over 50,000 school police officers in this country, but they haven't stopped even one school shooting. Instead they've arrested over 1 million kids, mostly students of color. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1592514003800297474

This is Marsha Blackburn, the lead Republican co-sponsor of the "Kids Online Safety Act" at a hate rally targeting transgender kids.

Groups like the Heritage foundation are openly saying they want to use this bill to ban LGBTQ+ content online

Really frustrating to see an entire @washingtonpost write up on the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) that doesn’t include any of the concerns that have been repeatedly raised by LGBTQ+, free expression and privacy advocates. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/16/their-kids-deaths-were-tied-social-media-they-want-congress-act/

Breaking my self-imposed Twitter silence to offer some context for last night's mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs. Since early 2021, the right has increasingly mobilized against the queer community, with drag shows being a particular focal point. https://countingcrowds.org/2022/09/30/escalating-right-wing-attacks-on-the-lgbtq-community/

Consenting adults should not be arrested for their sexual choices, whether money is exchanged or not. Decriminalization, or the removal of criminal laws, is the optimal option to ensure health, safety, autonomy, and rights for all.
