Trump didn't take 10% of Intel. He bought it. With government money. Then lied about it.

Brother, please. Why should you be able to accumulate unlimited value untaxed, and only be taxed when you convert it to cash? And even then, you're taxed MUCH less than people that work for the same amount of money.
Kicking off now: A faith-led protest in DCβs Columbus Heights neighborhood against Trumpβs effort to federalize the DC police force and deploy the national guard.

Here's the 5-day stock price of Intel.
Either the US government found a way to seize 10% of Intel that somehow doesn't dilute existing shareholders
Or stock investors suddenly became innumerate
Or the US government did not actually seize 10% of Intel.
Republications: "Seize 10% of the means of production!"

1. Orlando citizens defied DeSantis and re-colored the rainbow crosswalk commemorating Pulse Nightclub victims.
The DeSantis admin had the memorial crosswalk painted over black during the cover of night.
Community members had it restored the very next day.

In certain American cultures, evangelism is ubiquitous. So if kids were hanging out at the gravel pit, or the Walmart parking lot, or the field behind the Charms candy factory--there was probably some evangelism going on.

If you get rid of loathsome hatred of immigrants, Trump's support probably drops by a third to a half.
I would be open to labeling laws: if you're going to post fake or manipulated video or images depicting real people, you have to label it as fake or manipulated. Something like that.
But banning is just a knee-jerk over-reaction.
