If you think Elon did nothing offensive, perhaps try it yourself at work or at school or in Germany or Austria and see how that goes for you.

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.

Wishing everyone everywhere peace and inspiration. Come what may, let us stand strong for all that is right and just. Let us defend those who are being mistreated, and live with kindness and respect as Martin Luther King hoped we would . Our task is clear. ❤️

TikTok is back up. This is all such performative nonsense by the kleptocrats and hypocrites who run DC. And we look like idiots to the CCP. Bluff called and we are flaccid.

A reminder Monday that there will be an avalanche of executive orders.
Mass deportations will start.
Meanwhile, the House and Senate will try to ram through a bunch of bad bills.
Do not get lost in a sea of despair.
That is what they want.
Prepare yourselves now.
To those who are so upset about the TikTok ban, a reminder that it was the orange convicted felon that signed the executive order back in 2020 to eventually ban the platform. If he does bring it back, it’ll be to take credit for something he intentionally wanted to fuck up.

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently
Has always been the plan

The opening of a Walmart Supercenter leads to an increase in local poverty rates.
This increase in poverty rates persists for 10 years following the Supercenter’s entry.
Increases in poverty are particularly strong for younger, less-educated, and lower income adults.
It’s so bad. My friends...it’s so bad.
What these men—we know their names—have planned for us is a nightmare come to life. As ever, I have recorded its known contours with exhaustive sourcing.
The simple version is that Musk says he wants to save humanity, but he’s plunging us into utter darkness.
We now know UnitedHealth—under Brian Thompson—illegally overcharged cancer patients for meds by more than 1000%.
What we don't know is how many cancer patients died or were financially ruined as a result?
What we demand to know is why that act isn't deemed corporate murder & where are the arrests?
