This shake down of TikTok is Trump’s long con.

Trump started the TikTok ban, but has now flipped-flopped to play the hero while looking to enrich new owners (his donors).

There is nothing in this post about protecting American’s data, Trump’s original justification for the ban.

The TikTok ban feels nothing more than like a stunt. Playing with the livelihoods of 170 million Americans was never the answer. My thoughts in this special, mid-day newsletter. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

The effort to ban TikTok was started by Trump in 2020.

If Trump “saves” TikTok, he will just be undoing the problem he created.

It was never just another app.

It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.

And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻

I can’t stop listening to “I know the end” by phoebe bridgers. Is this crashing out?
