Don't forget the reason the U.S. is supporting Israel's genocide of Palestine - hell, 90% of the reason they ever get involved into something in the Middle East is for ulterior purposes regarding oil.

This is exactly what is happening in Palestine right fucking now.
They’re calling a temporary ceasefire because they KNOW the pressure is mounting against them. Their propaganda isn’t working. Don’t slow down or stop talking and posting about Palestine during the ceasefire, that’s what they want. They’re banking on loss of interest over time so they can just renew their attacks afterwards. Don’t let them.
We want a permanent and definite end to the suffering of the Palestinian people. Not just a temporary ceasefire.
Don’t stop talking about Palestine.

Yep, that’s pretty likely tbh. Profit over human lives, and of course for them it’s “convenient” since they probably wanted to kill all the Palestinians anyway. Using Oct 7 and “self-defense” as an excuse. Fucking disgusting.
the more I learn the more I’m convinced that Israel is killing and forcing the migration of Palestinians so that they can help facilitate the creation of that Ben Gurion canal 🤔

Twitter thread by user charitieropati from Nov 09, 2022, regarding the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA):
hearing justices on scotus ask “what if the child doesn’t want to be treated indian” during the ICWA hearings makes me so sick. They don’t understand how tribal sovereignty functions at all.
literally still in shock after hearing those comments. It is so scary that ICWA lies in the hands of people who have no understanding about how our tribal nations work. The hypotheticals and questions were just shocking.
Like no basic understanding. I feel so sick and anxious.
And the casual laughter in the courtroom & the question about natives being “at war” while tribal sovereignty is being threatened. It’s disrespectful and sick.

If you are unable to afford donating, this link allows you to click a button every 24 hours in order help donate to Palestine.
American mutuals, I seriously urge you to tell Congress and Biden to stand with Palestine, and do not stop sending this message. You can also donate here.
This is not a war; what Israel is doing to Palestine is genocide. Do not sit idly by and do not stay quiet. Now more than ever is the most important time to not look away.

Congress is really trying to censor the internet for almost fucking everyone, even people outside of the US.
Please y’all, even if you can’t do things like call your senators or whatever, at least spread the word and sign the petitions because this bullshit can’t be allowed to pass or else practically everyone, and I mean everyone in some way will be affected and screwed over.
Put it all over the internet - twitter, tiktok, etc. - wherever it can get attention and spark outrage for this blatant disregard for people’s rights and privacy.
Stay safe everyone!!!!
URGENT: 🚨🚨EARN IT ACT IS BACK IN THE SENATE 🚨🚨 TUMBLR’S NSFW BAN HITTING THE ENTIRE INTERNET THIS SUMMER 2023
April 28, 2023
I’m so sorry for the long post but please please please pay attention and spread this
What is the EARN IT Act?
The EARN IT Act (s. 1207) has been roundly condemned by nearly every major LGBTQ+ advocacy and human rights organization in the country.
This is the third time the Senate has been trying to force this through, and I talked about it last year. It is a bill that claims "protects children and victims against CSAM" by creating an unelected and politically appointed national commission of law enforcement specialists to dictate "best practices" that websites all across the nation will be forced to follow. (Keep in mind, most websites in the world are created in the US, so this has global ramifications). These "best practices" would include killing encryption so that any law enforcement can scan and see every single message, dm, photo, cloud storage, data, and any website you have every so much as glanced at. Contrary to popular belief, no they actually can't already do that. These "best practices" also create new laws for "removing CSAM" online, leading to mass censorship of non-CSAM content like what happened to tumblr. Keep in mind that groups like NCOSE, an anti-LGBT hate group, will be allowed on this commission. If websites don't follow these best practices, they lose their Section 230 protections, leading to mass censorship either way.
Section 230 is foundational to modern online communications. It's the entire reason social media exists. It grants legal protection to users and websites, and says that websites aren't responsible for what users upload online unless it's criminal. Without Section 230, websites are at the mercy of whatever bullshit regulatory laws any and every US state passes. Imagine if Texas and Florida were allowed to say what you can and can't publish and access online. That is what will happen if EARN IT passes. (For context, Trump wanted to get rid of Section 230 because he knew it would lead to mass govt surveillance and censorship of minorities online.)
This is really not a drill. Anyone who makes or consume anything “adult” and LGBT online has to be prepared to fight Sen. Blumenthal’s EARN IT Act, brought back from the grave by a bipartisan consensus to destroy Section 230. If this bill passes, we’re going to see most, if not all, adult content and accounts removed from mainstream platforms. This will include anything related to LGBT content, including SFW fanfiction, for example. Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Tiktok, Tumblr, all of them will be completely gutted of anything related to LGBT content, abortion healthcare, resources for victims of any type of abuse, etc. It is a right-wing fascists wet dream, which is why NCOSE is behind this bill and why another name for this bill is named in reference to NCOSE.
NCOSE used to be named Morality in Media, and has rebranded into an "anti-trafficking" organization. They are a hate group that has made millions off of being "against trafficking" while helping almost no victims and pushing for homophobic laws globally. They have successfully pushing the idea that any form of sexual expression, including talking about HEALTH, leads to sex trafficking. That's how SESTA passed. Their goal is to eliminate all sex, anything gay, and everything that goes against their idea of ‘God’ from the internet and hyper disney-fy and sanitize it. This is a highly coordinated attack on multiple fronts.
The EARN IT Act will lead to mass online censorship and surveillance. Platforms will be forced to scan their users’ communications and censor all sex-related content, including sex education, literally anything lgbt, transgender or non-binary education and support systems, aything related to abortion, and sex worker communication according to the ACLU. All this in the name of “protecting kids” and “fighting CSAM”, both of which the bill does nothing of the sort. In fact it makes fighting CSEM even harder.
EARN IT will open the way for politicians to define the category of “pornography" as they — or the lobbies that fund them — please. The same way that right-wing groups have successfully banned books about race and LGBT, are banning trans people from existing, all under the guise of protecting children from "grooming and exploitation", is how they will successfully censor the internet.
As long as state legislatures can tie in "fighting CSAM" to their bullshit laws, they can use EARN IT to censor and surveill whatever they want.
This is already a nightmare enough. But the bill also DESTROYS ENCRYPTION, you know, the thing protecting literally anyone or any govt entity from going into your private messages and emails and anything on your devices and spying on you.
This bill is going to finish what FOSTA/SESTA started. And that should terrify you.
Senator Blumenthal (Same guy who said ‘Facebook should ban finsta’) pushed this bill all of 2020, literally every activist (There were more than half a million signatures on this site opposing this act!) pushed hard to stop this bill. Now he brings it back, doesn’t show the text of the bill until hours later, and it’s WORSE. Instead of fixing literally anything in the bill that might actually protect kids online, Bluemnthal is hoping to fast track this and shove it through, hoping to get little media attention other than propaganda of “protecting kids” to support this shitty legislation that will harm kids. Blumental doesn't care about protecting anyone, and only wants his name in headlines.
It will make CSAM much much worse.
One of the many reasons this bill is so dangerous: It totally misunderstands how Section 230 works, and in doing so (as with FOSTA) it is likely to make the very real problem of CSAM worse, not better. Section 230 gives companies the flexibility to try different approaches to dealing with various content moderation challenges. It allows for greater and greater experimentation and adjustments as they learn what works – without fear of liability for any “failure.” Removing Section 230 protections does the opposite. It says if you do anything, you may face crippling legal liability. This actually makes companies less willing to do anything that involves trying to seek out, take down, and report CSAM because of the greatly increased liability that comes with admitting that there is CSAM on your platform to search for and deal with. This liability would allow anyone for any reason to sue any platform they want, suing smaller ones out of existence. Look at what is happening right now with book bans across the nation with far right groups. This is going to happen to the internet if this bill passes.
(Remember, the state department released a report in December 2021 recommending that the government crack down on “obscenity” as hard the Reagan Administration did. If this bill passes, it could easily go way beyond shit red states are currently trying. It is a goldmine for the fascist right that is currently in the middle of banning every book that talks about race and sexuality across the US.)
The reason these bills keep showing up is because there is this false lie spread by organizations like NCOSE that platforms do nothing about CSEM online. However, platforms are already liable for child sexual exploitation under federal law. Tech companies sent more than 45 million+ instances of CSAM to the DOJ in 2019 alone, most of which they declined to investigate. This shows that platforms are actually doing everything in their power already to stop CSEM by following already existing laws. The Earn It Act includes zero resources for proven investigation or prevention programs. If Senator Bluementhal actually cared about protecting youth, why wouldn’t he include anything to actually protect them in his shitty horrible bill? EARN IT is actually likely to make prosecuting child molesters more difficult since evidence collected this way likely violates the Fourth Amendment and would be inadmissible in court.
I don’t know why so many Senators are eager to cosponsor the “make child pornography worse” bill, but here we are.
HOW TO FIGHT BACK
EARN IT Act was introduced just two weeks ago and is already being fast-tracked. It will be marked up the week of May 1st and head to the Senate floor immediately after. If there is no loud and consistent opposition, it will be law by JUNE! Most bills never go to markup, so this means they are putting pressure to move this through. There are already 20 co-sponsors, a fifth of the entire Senate. This is an uphill battle and it is very much all hands on deck.
CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.
This website takes you to your Senator / House members contact info. EMAIL, MESSAGE, SEND LETTERS, CALL CALL CALL CALL CALL. Calling is the BEST way to get a message through. Get your family and friends to send calls too. This is literally the end of free speech online.
(202) 224-3121 connects you to the congressional hotline. Here is a call script if you don't know what to say. Call them every day. Even on the weekends, leaving voicemails are fine.
2. Sign these petitions!
Link to Petition 1
Link to Petition 2
3. SPREAD THE WORD ONLINE
If you have any social media, spread this online. One of the best ways we fought back against this last year was MASSIVE spread online. Tiktok, reddit, twitter, discord, whatever means you have at least mention it. We could see most social media die out by this fall if we don't fight back.
Here is a linktree with more information on this bill including a masterpost of articles, the links to petitions, and the call script.
DISCORD LINK IF YOU WANT TO HELP FIGHT IT
TLDR: The EARN IT Act will lead to online censorship of any and all adult & lgbt content across the entire internet, open the floodgates to mass surveillance the likes which we haven’t seen before, lead to much more CSEM being distributed online, and destroy encryption. Call 202-224-3121 to connect to your house and senate representative and tell them to VOTE NO on this bill that does not protect anyone and harms everyone.

Also I want to add that while you can use the tips here, please don’t spread them too publicly or on stuff like tiktok (we don’t need a repeat of zlib or soap2day) - I just put this up so people have an idea of it, but best would be to like this post and keep it for future reference and tell people about it personally (dms or in person) rather than go around putting it on blast everywhere. Thanks.
A Guide to Magnet Links for RARBG Torrenting
Hey, I'm sure everyone's already heard the horrible news of what happened to RARBG, our beloved torrent site, last month - they had to shut down bc things got too difficult to maintain and they lost people in their team to COVID and the war in Europe
Tumblr media
I already posted something like this on a reblog of @ftgloss's post here, but I figured I'd make a general post for it bc reblog chains don't show up in searches and bc I also got some questions from people about it--
Basically, while the RARBG site itself is gone, the torrents from it aren't completely gone yet - the magnet links (basically links to reach the torrents and their data) have been scraped and saved elsewhere where they can be used still, as long as someone is seeding the files. So you can copy the magnet link or hash, paste it into the torrent client to get the metadata and then download it.
RARBG Magnet links for:
Movies
TV shows 1
TV shows 2
Also, there's someone who's been scraping at RARBG the last 8 years and compiled everything they can get (movies, tv shows, cartoons, etc.) into a sqlite file (which you'll need a sqlite reader for, online or application) and you can download it from - you guessed it - this torrent magnet link here, if you want it:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ulfihylx35oldftn7qosmk6hkhsjq5af
If you do use these, please seed the files to help others get them too! Thanks!

Hi! Thank you for your response, I have another question regarding seeding. I tried to look it up, but I'm still not sure what it is and how it works and what you meant by the 100 percent. I don't want to mess up and be a leech, so I was wondering if you could explain that a bit more in depth (maybe with pictures of the process). Thank you again!
Of course! and yeah, it can be a bit complicated to understand sometimes because of all the terms and unspoken stuff, so I'll just explain it here so its easier to understand for you and anyone else who may be confused.
A seed is someone who has downloaded 100% of a torrent's files and has it on their computer while their torrent client application is open, which allows the files to actively "seed" - meaning, be shared with others to download it from as well. this is very very important and necessary for torrenting, because when you're downloading the files in a torrent you're not downloading from the torrent itself or the website or a server somewhere else - you're downloading from other people who already have the file 100% downloaded and are actively seeding, sharing it across the network for anyone with an incomplete torrent of those files they still need to download.
Torrenting relies on something called a P2P network - meaning "peer-to-peer" - people who have 100% of a file share it out in "pieces" for others to download from, slowly downloading and putting it together until its complete on your computer. Think of it like a digital puzzle - you open a puzzle online and you know what the final picture looks like - but you don't have any of the individual pieces to put them together. People from across the world who have the complete puzzle open share it piece-by-piece that they have to you, and your torrent client automatically pieces it together. When you get all the pieces, you have the complete puzzle picture (files), and then since you have a complete puzzle, you can be the one to start sharing out pieces to others who need it.
seeds are people who already have 100% (complete puzzle) and are sharing the file (puzzle pieces) across the torrent P2P network, and peers are people downloading the files (puzzle pieces) from seeds to reach 100% and get the files (complete puzzle). a peer who downloads the complete file and gets 100% becomes a seed and so on so forth. So basically you go from needing the puzzle pieces from others (downloading) to being the one sharing out pieces to those who need it after you (seeding).
If there is no one seeding a 100% downloaded torrent and its files, NO ONE can get the complete files - which is why it's extremely important to seed. A torrent with 0 seeds (no one seeding 100%) is called "dead" because no one will ever be able to download the complete files again unless someone with 100% comes back online. If no one has the whole puzzle complete with all the pieces, how can anyone afterwards complete it, if there's nowhere to receive the complete set of pieces from?
Tumblr media
These are all files I have 100% downloaded - the default setting on a torrenter (you may need to check yours to configure it) is that once you finish downloading, it automatically begins seeding the torrents out to others, letting them download from me. When downloading they're highlighted in green, and seeding is highlighted in blue. Now, torrents that say seeding and aren't highlighted in blue aren't actively seeding - rather it means that it is complete 100%, but they're looking for people to connect to to seed to. Highlighted in blue means they're currently connected to someone who's downloading and receiving pieces from me - those are actively seeding.
I'll explain the meaning of things here in the photo above - the number inside the parentheses indicate how many people are overall present in that area - so for the torrent at the top of my list, there are 9 people in total seeding it, and 118 peers in total downloading it. The number outside the parentheses for seeds and peers indicate how many I'm currently connected to - I'm not connected to any seeds, because I already have 100% on all my files and don't need to download. On the other hand, for the two highlighted in blue, there's a 1 outside the peer parentheses - meaning I'm connected to a peer for those two, someone who's downloading from me at the moment. You can be connected to multiple seeds or peers at once for downloading or seeding - the more you're connected to, the more data will be downloaded/uploaded and the faster it'll go.
Tumblr media
In fact, if you have a torrent that's actively downloading or seeding, if you select it and click "Peers", you can see who you're connected to, what torrent client they're using, how much you've uploaded to them/how much they've downloaded from you, how far their progress on the torrent is, and more. This is for a 2 GB sized file I have - here it says I've uploaded about 1 GB (50%) to someone, while their progress is almost 75% - meaning, they're downloading from both me and another seed who's filling in that other 25% - since we both have the complete files, the peer can take from both of us at once to finish faster, rather than only one of us. They get different puzzle pieces from both of us to finish the puzzle faster.
A leech is someone who downloads up to 100%, and then either removes the torrent from the client without deleting the downloaded files or closes the client so it can't seed, so other people can't download it from them. They're called a leech because they take from the overall network without giving anything back. They can accelerate "deaths" of torrents because at some point after all the seeding, a seed may go offline depending on the peers who downloaded from them to continue, but if the peers don't seed back it's just an overall loss and eventually there may be no one seeding the complete version, because all the seeds are gone or leeched off and all that's left are peers on a stalled torrent because they can't connect to a seed with 100%.
Don't do that. Don't be like that. When you download 100%, keep the files on your computer, keep the torrenter open with the torrent files loaded in it and automatically ready to seed with others who need it - that's how you be a seed and not a leech.
The ratio on the far right shows how much of a file you've seeded out to others in relation to the size of the file itself - so how much it's been downloaded from you by others. If I downloaded a 2 GB file and my ratio is 1.00, that means I seeded back out 2 GB - basically 1 complete version of the torrent, enough for one person. If I had a 10.00 ratio on that 2 GB file it would mean I seeded enough for 10 peers (so 20 GB overall), so 10 people were able to download the files from me and become seeds. A 0.00 ratio means no one's downloaded from me yet.
You'll notice that the more total seeds a torrent has, the less of a seeding ratio I have - because there were many other seeds for peers to download from - while files with fewer seeds usually have a larger ratio because since there aren't many seeds, it's inevitable that people are more likely to connect to and download from me.
To sum it up, the life cycle of a torrent:
Person creates torrent with files, uploads and seeds it
Others download from the creator, becoming seeds so that even if the creator goes offline the files can still be downloaded from them
The cycle keeps going with people downloading and seeding to each other to keep the torrent and files alive, hopefully indefinitely
(Only sometimes) If all seeds go offline, no one can download and then seed since there's no way to get 100% of the files unless a seed who already has the complete files comes back online
Pretty simple. Even if a torrent has only 1 seed and a bunch of peers downloading from them, as long as that seed stays online and gives it enough time, the peers will download to 100%, become seeds themselves (unless they leech, angry face here) and then begin giving back to others to download and lessen the strain on the overall network and that one poor seeder who was keeping it alive all by themselves for a while.
Holy shit, this was a real mouthful, way more than I expected. At the very least, I really hope this helped after all the explaining. Hopefully you won't have too much trouble reading and understanding it, I tried to simplify it with pictures and metaphors to help, but remember don't hesitate to ask if there's something you want to be sure about. Godspeed! *insert thumbs up here*
