The internet just changed: Net Neutrality is dead.The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/
Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.
We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.
We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]
This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

-Fight For The Futurewe’re almost ¾ of the way there!! c’mon guys, every bit counts!
will it ever stop
fucking signal boost
IF YOU ARE NOT SIGNAL BOOSTING THIS YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
IF THE U.S. FALLS TO THIS IT WILL OPEN OTHER DANGEROUS DOORS INTERNATIONALLY.
Start a civil war against the US government.
Signal boost for my us followers
I try to keep the things I reblog as blog/mun-centric as possible, but this is something I just can’t let slide.
I’ve been following this cause since last year. I’ve signed petitions, I’ve called representatives, I’ve been to protests, the whole nine yards.
This right here? This is not a joke. This is seriously happening, guys.
Remember the Wikipedia shutdown? That was to protest this right here. If you haven’t taken action against this yet, frankly, what is wrong with you? If this doesn’t get stopped, we’re going to lose the thing that brings us all together unless we shell out huge sums of cash to these corrupt bastards.
Do not just sit there and keep browsing.
Do not scroll past this.
Fight.
I’ve been reblogging every single Net Neutrality post
I may think its useless but I also believe in HOPE so KEEP TRYING
Unfortunately, unless some kind of legislation is passed that keeps bussineses from privatizing the internet, we they’re going to keep trying to pull this shit. We have to keep trying to block it and never stop.
guys this is so so so important

ALRIGHT. LISTEN UP.
So recently, I got calls from the phone number, (937) 353-8319. They claim to be a job service, and one of their “employees”, Carrigan, is friends with whoever the call recipient is, and that Carrigan has recommended you for this $15.00/h “job”. I also got a text message from (937) 607-1493, claiming to be Carrigan, and that they need stuff to “win a scholarship”. I do not know anyone by the name of Carrigan and I know very well that this is a very dangerous scam.
If you receive a call from a number, and they ask you if you would like a job for $15.00/h, HANG UP IMMEDIATELY. If you accept the “job” offer, and you go in for an interview, they will give you a drugged bottle of water and you will wake up somewhere you don’t want to be.
These phone calls & texts are from a human trafficking service, and if you oblige to them, you will be sold to people and you will be raped, no doubt about it. So PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER THESE CALLS OR TEXTS. I have listened to the voicemails, and allowed my dad to do the same, and he learned that anyone offering a $15.00/h “job” is a human trafficker.
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS ALL OVER TUMBLROkay, I am reblogging this because it is relevant again. I got another call from a 353 number. Not the exact same number, but I know that it is a trafficker because it’s 353 just like the last one. I also want this to signal boost so PLEASE REBLOG THIS.
Why are people deleting the captions though I had to search for what the pictures meant don’t do that
a side note, because theyre very popular around the DMV, If you ever see a sign with something akin to ‘free debt erasure’ ‘15/h job’ etc and ONLY A PHONE NUMBER, ignore it. tear it down if you can, because those are well known scams and sex-trafficking baits.do not, by any means, call or respond to these messages. do not let your friends do it. do not.

Many injured people are in need of blood after the horrific Las Vegas mass shooting. Here are some services that are currently taking in blood donations. 200+ people are injured so they’re gonna need a lot. Spread this around so Nevada citizens can know where to go if they wanna donate blood!
The Labor Health & Welfare Clinic on 7135 W. Sahara is also taking in donations.
UPDATE: Over 400 people are injured from this terrorist attack. Lives are on the line and it’s okay if you can’t donate blood due to distance or health reasons but it could really save a life if someone who can donate sees this information.
Link above broken; new info here

Hope friends in the Las Vegas area are safe.
If you live in the area, have O- blood, and are 17 or older please consider going to donate as 400+ people have been injured and supply is low.
If you’re trying to locate a missing friend or family member call 1-866-535-5654 for the Las Vegas Metro PD

Hurricane Irma threatens Puerto Rico with 6-month blackoutsHey, guys! This probably breaks my aesthetic, but I don’t care.
On top of the IMMENSE economic and human loss that Puerto Rico will face after Hurricane Irma:
Puerto Rico is about to lose power for 6 months. Yes, no electricity for six months. SIX MONTHS.
180 DAYS.
YOU KNOW THAT SONG SEASONS OF LOVE FROM RENT? YEAH, THINK OF 525,600 MINUTES CUT IN HALF.
262,800 MINUTES.
15,768,000 SECONDS. NO ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY, TELEVISION, AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING, THE INTERNET, PHONES, RADIO, NOTHING.
PLEASE donate anything you can here.
You can also donate to the following organizations:
If you can’t contribute financially or with blood, PLEASE REBLOG!
UPDATE: PLEASE REBLOG AGAIN! MORE ASSISTANCE REQUIRED
Hurricane Irma passed JUST north of Puerto Rico, damaging some buildings on the island and leaving one million people without power.
The damage was MUCH worse than originally feared on the islands of Barbuda and the territories of St. Martin and St. Bart.
Nearly 100% of the buildings in the island of Barbuda have been severely damaged or destroyed. 60% of the island’s people have no access to adequate housing.
I don’t mean to fear-monger, but:
Your help is still needed. The response to the original post? We’ll need DOUBLE that if we’re going to make a difference in these people’s lives. Their entire islands must be rebuilt.
We cannot rely on the mainstream media to carry our cause. We must fight and help people on our own. I can promise that this WILL NOT receive the same amount of attention that hurricane harvey received. PLEASE REBLOG.
To donate:
Global Giving ($2,000,000 goal - crowdfunding)
Habitat for Humanity (housing)
Please also consider donating to the links in the above post!
TL;DR: ISLANDS OF BARBUDA, ST. MARTIN, AND ST. BART DESTROYED. REBLOG AND DONATE HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, OR HERE.
