Fantasy romance authors: Stockholm Syndrome is not the great romantic scenario some seem to think. There are infinite other options to set up enemies-to-lovers, can we let this one go?
I can not emphasize this enough: Marco Rubio ordered this? BUT SOMEONE CHANGED THAT SETTING.

The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.
These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.
