🏹 United Youth owns social media.
🏹 Our clips are going viral every week as strong young men and women train hard, stick messages, and show the world what real White pride looks like. We are the masters of the social media battlefield; fast, sharp, and unstoppable because we are young and we get it. The old journalists and system mouthpieces have no clue how big we really are, and that makes them terrified. Good. Let them be scared. They cannot keep up with us, and every time they write another terrified article it just proves we are winning the culture war and taking the future back — one recruit at a time.
🪽 "TikTok accounts identified by CBS News for two United Youth groups based in New Jersey, for example, have almost 3,000 combined followers, and photos posted on TikTok in June of one U.S.-based Youth Club shows a group of 10 members gathered, waving flags bearing their branch's emblem." — CBS News

They responded to me almost immediately after following them, and attempted to connect me with a club.

📵 🇺🇸 👤 US to implement Digital ID if "KIDS Act" passes in the House today
Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications. While supporters continue to claim this bill protects minors online, its requirements come at the expense of privacy, free expression, and the ability of people of all ages to use the internet without revealing sensitive data.
Supporters of KOSA have said the bill doesn’t require age verification. And technically, the KOSA section of the bill does say that KOSA shouldn’t be read to require age verification.
Throughout the KOSA section of the legislation, special protections, controls, messaging settings, and parental tools are required whenever a website or app “knows or should have known” a user is a child (defined in the bill as anyone under 13) or a teen (defined as anyone between 13 and 16 years old).
The problem is a website operator doesn’t need actual knowledge that a user is a minor to get in legal trouble. It applies when a platform “knows or should have known” a user’s age—a low, negligence-style standard of knowledge. If an online service gets it wrong, it’s going to be up to courts and regulators to decide, after the fact, if an online service “should” have known a user was 16.
To try to avoid liability, services will have to determine which users are teenagers and which are not. Most won’t be able to simply trust their users. They’ll have to collect more information about age, before any lawsuit or government action arises. Some companies may respond by requesting driver's licenses or passports. Others will rely on age-estimation systems that attempt to guess users' ages by looking at existing activity or doing facial scans. Existing estimation systems make mistakes when estimating children’s ages correctly, which is a big problem when that is the population KOSA is trying to protect.
The bill specifically requires policies addressing the "sale or use" of narcotic drugs, tobacco products, cannabis products, gambling, and alcohol. It also restricts discussions around financial fraud.
Sounds straightforward enough. Then you remember how people actually talk—online and off. Can teens discuss addiction and recovery? Can a 15-year-old post that she’s worried she has a friend who is drinking too much? Can they seek advice about a parent’s gambling problem, or get help if they or a family member have been scammed? Can they participate in harm-reduction communities or discuss substance abuse treatment? All of these young people would be engaging in lawful speech when discussing topics covered by KOSA’s enumerated harms.
The bill does not directly ban those conversations. But it places platforms under huge pressure to create and enforce moderation policies around broad categories of lawful speech. Faced with legal risk, many services will inevitably choose to remove that speech or restrict those discussions to spaces where they know only adults can participate. We’ve seen this movie before. When legal risk goes up, platforms will take down more speech.
The KIDS Act Regulates Private Messages, Too
The KIDS Act never answers an obvious question: how exactly is a platform supposed to address those activities if they’re inside encrypted communications that it can’t read? That will create pressure for providers to weaken private communications or limit features on encrypted private services.
Like many other parts of the KIDS Act, these private messaging provisions also depend on websites and apps knowing who is a minor and who is not. The result is more age checks, more restrictions, and less privacy online.

📵 🇺🇸 👤 Everybody (not just kids) will have to verify their identity online | MajoraZ on X:
You should contact your reps both in the House and Senate, since in addition to the KIDS act in the House, there's also bills in the Senate which are doing a similar thing (I'll clarify on that further down), and while you can call or email your reps, calling is better if you're willing to do it
https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member
- Even bills which do not explicitly require ID verification or face scanning willl still encourage businesses and services to collect it to comply, as seen with Discord, and the bills do not explicitly prohibit the collection of government ID or biometric data
- Collecting those things creates a target for hackers, for the data to be stolen or leaked, which has also already happened with the information collected for Discord's ID verification
- It removes choice from parents, if a parent wishes to allow their children to use social media or the internet, now they cannot without supplying personal information
- It will not actually protect children, as studies show that other countries implementing ID checks have not worked (https://www.bmj.com/content/393/bmj-2026-363695)
- Parental controls already exist to monitor and control what kids can see, do, and post on electronic devices
- While framed as a way to rein in Big Tech, these bills are actually being pushed by lobbyists from Meta/Facebook (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1rshc1f/i_traced_2_billion_in_nonprofit_grants_and_45/)
Additionally, you may wish to also ask your representative to oppose the No Fakes Act (which may be included as a part of this push) and the STOP CSAM act being included in the NDAA:
The former is intended to prevent AI impersonation, but like the DMCA, allows people to submit takedowns with no real proof or mechanism to hold people liable for fraudulent takedown claims, which will lead to it being used to silence criticism and parody, while the latter act is intended to stop CSAM, but carves out parts of Section 230, which is an important safeguard to ensure sites allow user posted content. See https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/no-fakes-act-could-silence-satire-commentary-and-news for more details and https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/oppose-stop-csam-protecting-kids-shouldnt-mean-breaking-tools-keep-us-safe for more info on why these are bad.
To be clear, the KIDS act is just one legislative bundle in the House of Representatives right now, there are many, many other bills and laws being passed on both the federal and state level that do similar things (for example, the "App Store Accountability Act", the "SAFE for Kids Act of 2026", the similarly titled "SAFE Kids Act" etc), with the Senate also having their own version of KOSA, COPPA 2.0, the App Store Accountability Act etc to name a few.

🇷🇺❌🇪🇺 — Russia has started placing weapons on its tankers, reports The Times
In particular, the "Kord" heavy machine gun was installed on board the Russian tanker "Marshal Vasilevsky".
After the installation of such weapons, the seizure of Russian ships and ships of the shadow fleet by the military forces of European countries could become much more difficult.
