Listen up, tumblr.

Just because the repeal officially goes into effect tomorrow doesn’t mean you go all defeatist-mode and give up. Nothing our government does is irreversible; keep in contact with your senators, representatives, and local governments. Vote in every election, and vote out the fuckers that would suppress internet freedom. Keep your eyes on all the updates and just generally what the government, both state and federal, are doing; do not be willfully complacent or ignorant of what they do and plan to do to you. Keep your eyes on your service providers; don’t let them slip anything past you only for you to notice it much later. Invest in a VPN, if you must.

Fact-check all your posts about the repeal and don’t spread unnecessary panic. That’s all.

we need conversion therapy to be illegal. we need parents to go to jail for doing this to their children. we need providers of conversion therapy to go to jail for offering a service that abuses and kills lgbt people. conversion therapy is a hate crime.

Net Neutrality protections will be repealed tomorrow (Monday, June 11th, 2018).

Net Neutrality protections will be repealed tomorrow (Monday, June 11th, 2018), and over the next several months to a year, by my estimation, you will probably see a drastic change in the internet. Your internet bill will sky rocket, people will be censored, news outlets won’t load. Its all predictable, yet unpredictable what will happen.

But remember that the most important thing to do now, besides continuing to call your representatives, is to VOTE IN THE UPCOMING PRIMARIES, AND THE GENERAL ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER. If we can flip enough states from red to blue, it will greatly help us fight back. Ajit Pai tried to stop us from getting access to important information, and he succeeded in destroying NN, but he was too late to stop us from informing ourselves. We know what to do now. We have to strap on our metaphorical combat boots, educate ourselves and others, help others to register to vote, and get the word out about candidates in your area.

EDIT: The CRA (Congressional Review Act) still has until December 31st to be voted on, so it can still be passed!

We can get Net Neutrality back, but it will not happen overnight.


Good Luck.
