Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Really proud of this piece and so thankful to all the sex workers who talked with me while I was researching! I donβt often see this framed as a speech and artistic expression issue but it is: Visa/MC are effectively crowning themselves art directors as they rip sex workers off.
