A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!

Just hours before Giffords made her way into the nation’s Capitol, an unknown provocateur was stalking the halls of the Missouri Capitol, tagging the doors of lawmakers—most of them Democratic women—with images of rifle crosshairs. From the Columbia Daily Tribune:

The one posted by AceAdmiral to keep track of asexuals and supporters who feel dividing asexual individuals up by romantic orientation is a really not cool thing to do.
With several of the recent battles in the ace tag, I’ve noticed the unfortunate trend that whenever someone says something anti-asexuality (whether that person is asexual or not),...
