TikTok tucking itself in with Trump. Twitter under control of the White House. Facebook making major changes to placate MAGA, doing PR campaign to align w Trump.
Does everyone not see what’s happening here and how terrifying this is.

shoutout to every Serious Person who told me the tiktok ban would have no meaningful political ramifications. over a hundred fifty million americans saw this and all democrats had to do to avoid this was not be inept losers on one single vote

This is America. We have a constitutional separation of powers. Congress passed law saying TikTok must be sold or banned, now Trump says ignore the law, my new tech friends will turn you back on. Which laws are next to be disregarded? This is America, speak truth to power.
STATEMENT FROM TIKTOK:
In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service. We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive.
It’s a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.

So, the Biden Admin said they would not enforce the ban—the enforcement mechanism is a massive fine. TikTok did not have to shut off its services.
It appears they voluntarily went dark to maximize the drama of Trump’s incoming 90-day extension EO. It’s a political gift to him.

This reminds me of when Trump put his name on the stimulus checks but Biden didn’t. Historic own goal by the Democrats here

This was never about data. This was never about national security. It was ALWAYS about silencing our voices. It was about keeping us apart. It was about keeping us from being informed. It was about CONTROL. #tiktokban

all I’m sayin’ is, if I was duke university with the name and prestige I had, I wouldn’t want a man who’s trying to disenfranchise 60,000 legal voters in the state of North Carolina to graduate from MY university 🥲

Congratulations, Media.
It looks like you succeeded in getting Trump reelected.
You made excuses for him. You refused to cover the batshit crazy things he said and did. You sanewashed him at every turn.
Looks like you got what you wanted.

North Carolinians rejected Mark Robinson for Governor but chose Donald Trump as President, which shows that they will embrace a monster if he's the right color.

MIssouri voters voting for abortion rights, an increase in the minimum wage, and paid sick leave, and a senator and a president who strongly oppose these things is where we are in a nutshell

I’m so sick of the six inbred children of the corn deciding if we live or die. Abolish the electoral college!!
