The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) continues to march through the halls of Congress as though it’s the best thing since sliced bread, even though one of the co-creators of this bill clearly stated that her intention is to protect children from “the transgender” and to prevent “indoctrination” from the LGBT community.

This is the reason it has to be non-negotiable. Yes, it's expensive, in terms of a lot of people saying stuff you don't want them to say. But in return, when people try to pull this shit, you get to laugh in their face and tell 'em go fuck themselves right in their ear.

And I don't just mean the first-amendment narrow legal definition stuff in the US. I mean the much broader political principle that speech should not be restricted except in commission of a crime.

Can people stop using politicians and simply write Republicans?

Not doing that is a huge part of the problem... Democrats are the only ones trying to stop it. Even when we have a few barely dems that are just Republicans in all but name.
