I AM BEGGING YOU PLEASE DO SOMETHING!
🚨🚨🚨🚨 URGENT 🚨🚨🚨🚨
KOSA AFFECTS US ALL
there will be no room to call for a free palestine, congo, sudan, or yemen when imperialists control what stays on the internet.
there will be no room for sharing queer joy, safe binding and tucking guides, or tutorials on how to safely navigate kink when queerphobes and puritans decide what kinda of relationships and identities are "acceptable".
there will be no room for anticapitalism, protest organizing, pirating, or sharing anti-establishment resources when the establishment can erase whatever ideas are too threatening to them to stay.
there will be no room to be someone who doesn't conform.
DOWNLOAD ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES. PROTEST AS LOUDLY AS POSSIBLE. SIGN PETITIONS. BUILD ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATIONS FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS. AND DO IT NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
