When colonization came to call in the US, many folks wrote about america as a pristine Eden whose forest were filled with delights and bounty. This was because indigenous folk (Like mine) built up food forest. Things that were razed and destroyed as a part of racist violence. Colonization is ongoing
![My name is [your name] and I'm one of [representative's name]'s constituents. I'm calling to urge them to vote NO on three internet
censorship bills:
• the Kids Online Safety Act - KOSA
• the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act - IODA
• and the SCREEN Act
All three bills claim to protect teens by placing a duty of care on online platforms to prevent exposure to harmful things. But Republicans keep expanding the definition of "harmful." These bills are gifts to fascists.

KOSA's sponsor said it would "protect minors from the transgender in this culture." The Heritage Foundation said it would use KOSA to block abortion information. Both other bills allow the FTC to enforce them. FTC Chair Ferguson signed up "to fight wokeness" and "the trans agenda.'
The people in power now can't be trusted with laws like these.

Don't give weapons to fascists. If passed, these bills will harm LGBTQ teens, adults, and anyone who needs information on reproductive health or abortion. Vote NO on KOSA, IODA, and SCREEN.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreih6stly2ivi4kfwwqyxl4ls57lotcb5fuz5mxzhmv3g5jcwhrrf7m)
