Oklahoma is attempting to pass a bill that would ban explicit romance novels. Authors, narrators, and sellers could all face fines of up to $100,000 and up to 10 years in jail for each instance.
If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.
This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.
In the meantime, get physical copies of books you like. Download those pdfs. Archive your AO3 stories and keep them on a physical hard drive. (Storing those files in the cloud could be problematic in the future as the company managing the cloud service can see what your files are)

Al Green protested against a tyrannical man. That man was trying to take away the Healthcare of millions of people and Al Green was the one Democrat who cared enough to do something and make a stand.
For that, he was censured. What's worse is some of his own party voted with Republicans to censure him. Some of his own party didn't have the guts or morals to stand up for what's right.
Is someone on this list your representative? Call them. Tell them how disappointed you are. How angry you are that they sided against people. Against healthcare. Against the last few democratic representatives willing to make a stand.

Edit: I see this post is popping off again, thank you for sharing! Reminder to our youth watching this video (operationally defined as those 14-25), @bfpnola is an international, Black-, queer-, woman-, and youth-run organization. We’d love to have some new volunteers, especially from Oklahoma in particular because we don’t have any! If you’d just like to meet everyone first, this is our Discord Server. Why not start there and then you can decide? 🫂

“It’s not that we’re fighting for special rights just for us. We’re fighting for the same rights.” — Jim Obergefell
Nine years ago today, the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges recognized a simple truth: love is love.
This decision ruled that all states must license marriages to same-sex couples and recognize marriages lawfully performed out of state. Obergefell v. Hodges guaranteed marriage equality in a monumental ruling for the LGBTQIA+ community. 🏳️🌈

Oh no. MAGA is mad that the NYT shared the names of DOGE staffers. Don’t share this! Would be a shame
