TikTok is now officially unavailable in the US—and gone from app stores. The app’s hopes now hang on President-elect Trump.
TikTok Is Unavailable in the US—and Gone From the App Stores
After President Biden declined to reassure Apple, Google, and Oracle that they wouldn’t be fined for giving Americans access to TikTok, the app’s hopes now hang on President-elect Trump.

From Thursday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“…non-government actors will be integral to their plans for combatting who they deem overly meddlesome reporters. Multiple sources say that as sitting president, Trump still intends to have his small armada of personal lawyers…

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything".

Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something.

They just don't care about YOU.

The Bill of Rights wasn’t a gift from the founders at the Constitutional Convention. It was a concession wrung out by Anti-Federalists—skeptics, including former loyalists, who fought for rights the framers wanted to ignore. Resistance, not revelation, secured those now-threatened liberties.

Dr. Peter Hotez is fighting false assertions that vaccines cause autism & the implausibility of vaccines causing autism based on studies showing how the neurodevelopmental process of autism occur before birth. We NEED believers in SCIENCE as head of HHS!

Thank you, Dr. Hotez for everything you do!

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself

Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

Vaccines are why 1 of every 4 of us didn't die in infancy.
Fluoride is why most of us keep our teeth into old age.
The ACA is why 21 million of us can see a doctor.
The FDIC is why we don't lose our life savings.

And a handful of GOP billionaires want to take it all away.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.

We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

Former Congressman Tim Ryan is spreading rumors that Democrats lost the election because they didn't back fossil fuels.

He left out one key fact.

He's getting paid $246,943 a year to lobby for the fossil fuel industry.

Stop lying to the public just to get a higher paycheck.

The gender affirming care ban in Montana has been BLOCKED by the MT Supreme Court in a unanimous decision.

Montana has a constitutional right to privacy, including in our healthcare decisions. And today our constitution continues to protect individuals from government overreach.

A month after the election Trump admits his promises on voters' top issue were lies.

He will not lower costs, in fact his plans will lead to Americans paying higher prices.

Yes, exactly. The goal as outlined in Project 2025 is to codify gender conformity and classify anyone who deviates from that conformity as an enemy of the state.
I'm hyper focused on the argument that TN SG Rice made to SCOTUS that a state can ban gender affirming care because it is non-conforming. By that logic the very act of being trans is a threat to the state
1/ In U.S. v. Skrmetti, TN Solicitor General Matt Rice said trans minors seeking gender-affirming care is a "request for a substantive right to engage in non-conforming behavior." This claim frames medical care as a threat to state power enforcing gender norms. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/12/11/t...
