Today the U.S. House of Representatives passed the TAKE IT DOWN Act, giving the powerful a dangerous new route to manipulate platforms into removing lawful speech that they simply don’t like. President Trump himself has said that he would use the law to censor his critics. The bill passed the Senate in February, and it now heads to the president’s desk.

    Not a rumor, only 2 house members voted against (both republican).

    mfw we can pass a bipartisan spy law no problem but a bipartisan daylight savings law is still too hard.

      To be fair, DST is a more complicated issue. Everyone wants to end it, but there’s disagreement on how to do it.

      One side wants to not be missing an hour of sleep half the year and wants to go to standard time only.

      The other side is psychopaths. We had a Spring Forward. I’m owed a Fall Back. If they try to take that away from me, I’ll take up arms.
