“The law that Biden signed banning TikTok isn’t responsible for TikTok getting banned” is definitely a winning message. Be sure to go with that.
Watch it again. The law does not require that TikTok “go dark.” It prevents third party carriers from distributing it. So *the law* does not make the app “disappear” from phones that already have it. TikTok knows this, so they are intentionally depriving their own customers to create backlash
Headlines proclaiming “TikTok Will Go Dark on Sunday Unless ………” is a different message than your video. 🤔

No human being is illegal. And we have no moral right to bar anyone from stolen land.

Same, except it’s been 5 years for me. 🥺
Think the TikTok ban is gonna crush me.

TT has been an important space for me the last 2 years, it’s helped me understand myself so much more with all the content from the ND community.

If you think I’m overreacting, then you don’t get what’s great about TT, and this post ain’t for you.

They really banned TikTok before they banned sending weapons to Israel during a genocide.

Oh and the “Resistance” we’re going to see from liberals in the coming years will get them kylled because the civil rights movement that it is modeled after, as it is taught to all Americans, is a sanitized version of what people were really doing to resist.

I am not mad about Biden pardoning his son, I am mad about him ONLY pardoning his son.

There are thousands of petitions that have been sitting on his desk for his whole term, he promised to end the federal death penalty, + all the crack v. powder folks still sitting in prison

Disappointing!

Joe Biden should pardon and release from prison the 3,000 people behind bars for ridiculous federal marijuana offenses.

Had to double check to make sure this isn’t the onion. This is the equivalent of buying the book for class after you completely bombed (literally in this case) the test.
President Biden and family exited Nantucket Bookworks this afternoon with the president carrying the book, "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi, according to pool reporters.

The "goal is to destroy the ability of Palestinians to live in that area as a group. And in my definition, that is genocide."

Media blackout as the UN Special Committee calls Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide. Meanwhile, Israel plans to annex the West Bank by 2025, bans UNRWA, and the U.S. ramps up efforts to crush the Palestinian movement. This is a full-scale assault on the very existence of Palestinians.

Whiteness is so unserious.

The privilege of calling someone a threat for four years and then sidling up to them for a meeting and a photo op.

This is how you spot both privilege and shallow politics.

Why does People Magazine name a new "Sexiest Man Alive" every year? It doesn't make any sense to name a new one if the old one is still alive. The new one should have to fight the old one to the death. Like Highlander.
