Good news. But let's not forget with this one in particular, this battle will probably not end in our lifetimes. We let down our guard, and support for net neutrality starts to waver, it'll get attacked again. Maybe in a different way.

This one takes a lot of vigilance and determination to keep. It won't stay permanently "won" any time soon, despite the breadth of the coalition of sorts that supports it. There's just too much money that could be made on the other side, creates a lot of pressure.

It will only last until the next Republican administration. Elections have consequences. Vote.

If another Republican administration happens, it will be the last you ever see, because they will seize power as the fascist they are. So yes, never stop voting. We simply can't allow it to happen anymore.

Always assume nothing in politics and law is "permanent". You never know when you're gonna get backstabbed, even if you like the people in power.

Needs to be a law much harder that way.

And even then... roe v wade
