Hello, srry to bug you just curious if any updates? Keep checking senate site but not showing anything at all. Also saw bill like it passing in Florida.
Hello.
Senate is not in session until April 8th, as per the senate calendar.
As for Florida, House Bill 3 has just passed.
Essentially, House Bill 3 bans all minors 13 and under from having accounts on social media. Current accounts are terminated, and new accounts cannot be made.
This is a very simplified version, you can read the bill here.

Google is going to start scraping all of their platforms to use for AI training. So, here are some alternatives for common Google tools!
Google Chrome -> Firefox
If you’re on tumblr, you’ve probably already been told this a thousand times. But FireFox is an open-source browser which is safe, fast and secure. Basically all other browsers are Chrome reskins. Try Firefox Profilemaker, Arkenfox and Librewolf! Alternatively, vanilla Firefox is alright, but get Ublock Origin, turn off pocket, and get Tabliss.
Google Search -> DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo very rarely tracks or stores your browsing data (though they have only been known to sell this info to Microsoft). Don’t use their browser; only their search engine. Domain visits in their browser get shared. Alternatively, you can also use Ecosia, which is a safe search engine that uses its income to plant trees! 🌲
Google Reverse Image Search -> Tineye
Tineye uses image identification tech rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks to find you the source of your image!
Gmail -> ProtonMail
All data stored on ProtonMail is encrypted, and it boasts self-destructing emails, text search, and a commitment to user privacy. Tutanota is also a good alternative!
Google Docs -> LibreOffice
LibreOffice is free and open-source software, which includes functions like writing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, formula editing and more.
Google Translate -> DeepL
DeepL is notable for its accuracy of translation, and is much better that Google Translate in this regard. It does cost money for unlimited usage, but it will let you translate 500,000 characters per month for free. If this is a dealbreaker, consider checking out the iTranslate app.
Google Forms -> ClickUp
ClickUp comes with a built-in form view, and also has a documents feature, which could make it a good option to take out two birds with one stone.
Google Drive -> Mega
Mega offers a better encryption method than Google Drive, which means it’s more secure.
YouTube -> PeerTube
YouTube is the most difficult to account for, because it has a functional monopoly on long-form video-sharing. That being said, PeerTube is open-source and decentralized. The Internet Archive also has a video section!
However, if you still want access to YouTube’s library, check out NewPipe and LibreTube! NewPipe scrapes YouTube’s API so you can watch YouTube videos without Google collecting your info. LibreTube does the same thing, but instead of using YouTube servers, it uses piped servers, so Google doesn’t even get your IP address. Both of these are free, don’t require sign-ins, and are open source!
Please feel free to drop your favorite alternatives to Google-owned products, too! And, if this topic interests you, consider checking out Glaze as well! It alters your artwork and photos so that it’s more difficult to use to train AI with! ⭐️

[OUTDATED INFO] Ron DeSantis just kidnapped a 13-year old boy.
UPDATE: This information is outdated. There have been some revelations regarding the situation, please watch this video for the update. I would also like to remind everyone that I did not and do not intend to mislead -- I made this post with only Jones' tweets to go off of three hours after the incident.
Outdated/original info under the line
-------------------------------------------------------
Earlier this evening, at around 7 PM CT U.S., Rebekah Jones (notably one of DeSantis’ biggest political enemies right now) underwent a raid on her home by state police.
Guns were pointed in the face of her 13-year old son, Jack. They arrested him under the charges of digital terrorism and “on state orders.”
They are refusing to let him go home and they are refusing to let Jones see him.
These are her screenshots recounting the incident from earlier tonight. They were taken at 10:23 PM CT U.S.

Reblog. I don’t care who you are, reblog this. We have to make sure that this doesn’t get buried -- it’s already happening.

"a vote for anyone who isn't Biden is a vote for Trump"
NOT DURING THE PRIMARIES. NOT DURING THE PRIMARIES.
get out and vote. but you do NOT have to vote for Biden during the primaries. If your state allows it, voting uncommitted/no preference in the primaries is a good way to show Biden that you do not support his actions regarding Palestine and Israel.

We need justice for nex. I know I can't do much, but maybe a few people can see this.
If the world truly cared about trans people then there would be riots until this systemic injustice was gone.
Schools are now allowing literal terrorists (libs of tiktok aka Chaya Raichik) to run schools who are not even part of the same district. The hateful laws hateful people say protect kids are literally getting kids killed. But in the hateful's mind it's fine because it was a trans person, the enemy in their minds.
The hateful are Nazis and should not be in power over any children. I simply cannot understand why people can stand idle when hate spreads so clearly.
I'm not a doomer, I think we will create a better tomorrow, but only because we know this time. We know who the hateful are and what they want and what the end is that they want. This time they can't silence us.
No book burning can set us back. We can't forget the first Nazi book burning was to silence us LGBT+ folk. And we won't forget the next.

Here's something I'm sure you find infuriating;
"I'm not into politics. I don't really know, I'm just not a political person."
We know that this IS being political! It means you condone everything - you don't think anything is worth fighting for, you're fine with the status quo as long as it benefits you vaguely. It's the mindset of someone so aggressively individualist, that the suffering of others is simply not a concern - since the system can't be broken, if they're alright. The kind of people to vote for a fascist if it'll mean that their taxes are lower next year. To stand by and watch oppression is insidious. Not even watch - to Celebrate oppression as long as it's against the "savages" and "beasts." Mass mistreatment still exists beyond the gulf surrounding apathetic suburbia.

(Note: The Tweets on the left is one of of MANY like it, and Ben Shapiro isn’t the only conservative rallying behind this sentiment.)
Do y’all remember that Bojack Horseman episode that aired in 2017 about how, no matter how much leftists rallied and cried against it, the government and right-wing groups wouldn’t ban guns…
UNTIL a marginalized group started using guns to feel more safe, and a member of that marginalized group committed a mass shooting, after which there were cries for them to be controlled more almost immediately by the previous gun-rights defenders?
Life is a fucking cartoon.
