Imagine going to this screening on a night like this one. The blood of an American civilian runs on a Minneapolis street. These people have no shame.
On tonight’s White House agenda:

Trump and guests will get a private screening of MELANIA, the documentary about the First Lady, @thr.com reports.

Attendees include Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, Mike Tyson, per the article.

So after today, when presumably the TikTok transfer into the hands of Trump allies is complete, the top social media apps in the country will be controlled by:

Elon Musk
Mark Zuckerberg
Ellison/Abu Dhabi/Trump friends and donors at Silver Lake PE.

Disinformation works. They haven't forgotten.

“Make America Healthy Again”
Under President Trump, the EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses. It’s counter to the agency’s mission statement, which says has a core responsibility to protect human health and the environment. nyti.ms/3Loch27

Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards
Once you’ve traded your principles for proximity to power, do you even run your own company?

You see this "nichification" trend across nearly everything now: art, food, music, every sport and yes social media. I wrote a post about this--https://medium.com/@peterabraham/the-nichification-of-sports-and-everything-28a5ccf50c70
“.. The same fragmentation that reshaped news is now reshaping social media, making it harder for companies, brands and public figures to reliably reach large swaths of the public.”
