Hell yeah it does. And unionized one at that.

Headline from Wisconsin Family Action:

Hong Campaign Leadership Includes Porn Star

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Family Action is concerned with the judgement of Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Francesca Hong, considering recent reports of her deputy campaign manager, Renee Faust, serving as a sex worker.

It has been reported that Renee Faust is serving as Hong’s deputy campaign manager and currently has an active account on a pornographic website. Faust also founded the ‘Coalition of American Sex in Workers-Local 304.’

Thanks to @fsc.bsky.social for some great activism on the SCREEN Act ... @mikestabile.bsky.social was on fire here in the ATmosphere! And your action was excellent, with a message targeting the Republicans on the committee.

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

Once again, law enforcement failed to stop abusers because *some* of their victims were sex workers.

When asked why British police screwed up the Andrew Tate case so badly, a "detective blamed the malfeasance on 'overworked, overstretched' officers who failed to take the women’s allegations seriously, partly because two of them were sex workers."

Glad to see the last of the NCOSE age verification cases in Kansas dismissed. Private enforcement of age verification laws defies common sense and, in the hands of our opponents, is just another tool to stifle and repress sex online. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Highlighted text: "This case is one of four nearly identical cases brought by Plaintiff against commercial websites that contain pornographic content for failing to comply with Kansas’s age-verification law. [...] Plaintiff amended the complaint in this case to
address shortcomings...the outcome remains the same. [...] The Court grants Defendant’s motion to dismiss"

Antonia Crane: "Sex workers — like me — get arrested because cops and politicians have something to prove. It’s Election Day, it’s the World Cup, it’s whatever. We are not dirt to sweep up when they clean up the streets ." thelalocal.org/neighborhood...

Why the World Cup has sex workers worried

Law enforcement agencies are planning one of the largest security operations in LA history, but for sex workers, more policing means more fear, more abuse, more trauma and poverty.

I see people talking about this not realizing that Judd regularly makes arrests that he calls "sex trafficking scheme" that then fall apart and end with basically nothing happening. It's kind of his thing. Not saying this dude is worth supporting, but Judd's terrible www.yahoo.com/news/ice-hel...

I've said it a lot lately: the problem with nonconsensual deepfake porn of adults isn't the "porn" part, it's the "nonconsensual" part. That HAS to be accounted for when regulating, otherwise you're just banning legal porn, which is (1) unconstitutional but (2) what the Heritage Foundation wants.

Excerpt from Copyleaks blog post about Grok's AI-CSAM/NCII problem: "The trend appears to have started several days ago, when some adult-content creators prompted Grok to generate sexualized imagery of themselves as a form of marketing on X. However, almost immediately, users began issuing similar prompts about women who had never appeared to consent to them. In other words, Grok moved from consensual self-representation to a form of scaled nonconsensual image generation."

THIS. It took me until my 30's to fully accept it. I think it has a lot to do with stigma. While the public discourse about mental health has improved *somewhat* in recent years, the stigma of taking meds still very much exists / is exacerbated by internalized shame. Thanks for sharing this!

Friends and fans, if you do watch pirated porn (with the increase in government regulations it's the only option in some places), do the right thing and send the creator who made it a couple of bucks.
