If I see a single one of you MF’s chewing out another leftist for a minor infraction or imperfection in an era where the richest man alive is doing Nazi salutes on live television, I swear to god I’m going to personally grab you by the hair and force you to touch grass.

this idea that journalists are not allowed to describe objective reality that they see but can only quote what other people believe about things is one of the stupid ideas that has basically destroyed a shared reality
found one that says he is "accused" of making a nazi salute lmao I hate it here

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

The only source is some satire website on twitter. 44 thousand likes from people who think this is resistance. For fucks sake

Tiktok was a wide-ranging tool with a great deal of benefits, and it was used for good by a lot of people. Some folks are mocking the loss, but please realize this has a massive impact on people who depended on it.
Seeing my biggest platform destroyed, then watching many younger women in SciComm have *their* biggest platforms destroyed is weighing on me. I’ve rebuilt here. I know they can rebuild too. Having our delicate careers subject to billionaire whims has me wishing for a stability I don’t think exists.

I’m not an expert, but I believe this is an example of what is colloquially known as “serving cunt.”
Don't know what's going on in this picture but I can dig it.

I see a lot of pessimism that people won’t get the transparent political angle of the TikTok thing but in all honesty for as much as you can make fun of TikTok people they’re probably more savvy about this shit than any other social media userbase

Meanwhile Chuck Schumer told Biden that signing the legislation to ban the app would cost Democrats politically WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY VOTING FOR THE APP TO BE BANNED.

Fork-tongued fiends
Apparently, AOC said in the hearing to ban TikTok, there was little to know evidence presented and all the legislators were confused why the app was uniquely being presented as a threat.

Following the attempted murder of a trans woman. Cops just let the alleged perp go. So actionists from the Mexican sex workers union stormed the judicial building.

Incredible how thoroughly Democrats got played here. Spent four years following through on a Trump executive order, pissed away any shot at building a real youth coalition for 2024 by alienating literally every teenager in America, lost the election, and now Trump gets to "save" TikTok. Clown shit.
In a new post from the official TikTok account, CEO Shou Chew thanked Trump for his efforts to keep TikTok available in the U.S. He characterized Trump's stance as a pro-free speech effort and touted Trump's own success on TikTok

This is just fucking embarrassing. Performative useless nonsense.
Ah, so this is pure bullshit: "A senior Biden administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the White House’s plans, said Biden was not directing the archivist to certify the amendment, sidestepping what could have become a legal battle over the separation of powers."
Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered ratified
President Joe Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered a ratified addition to the U.S. Constitution.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

Do I have this right?

Every resident of Illinois should know their rights.

I intend to protect those rights and ensure our state laws are followed.

Just so we’re all clear:

-Dems bend over backwards to Netanyahu’s every whim carrying through with financing a genocide, Bibi wants Trump to win and it costs Dems the election.

-At the request of Netanyahu, the Tiktok Ban bill is Revived under a Dem President, closer tying it to Biden moreso
