Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.
We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.
We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]
This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?
One thing I’ve learned: when people end whatever they’re saying with “idk, I’m probably not making any sense,” it usually means they are telling you something very close and personal to them, something that’s such an integral part of their being that they have trouble putting it into words that do it justice.
I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.
this whole thing with danica roem is bothering me not so much because i expected conservatives in virginia to not be transphobic, but because this is a clear example of conservatives using liberal rhetoric as a tool to explain away something so clearly discriminatory, and liberals fucking bought it.
do you really think that the same conservative virginia lawmakers who called danica roem a man on the campaign trail suddenly read up on nonbinary genders and decided to abolish the gendering of lawmakers to make their legislature more inclusive? do you really think that this was done for any reason other than to avoid gendering danica roem as a woman? they’re continuing to delegitimize her and discriminate against her under the guise of “gender equality” and the fact that some liberals are celebrating this as a victory is mind boggling. you’re not a trans ally if you can’t think outside your bubble and consider the very obvious context that makes this a problem.
how many men who say they’re in the friendzone are actually in the “I was just nice to him because I felt bad for him but now he’s getting all clingy and manipulative to the point that he is making me regret basic human kindness which I feel really guilty about but I just want to be free from this nightmare” zone
