My goals right now:
1) Do your work. Don't let depression over the news limit your output. You can't affect change if you're not making money.
2) Don't overwatch news. There's so much going on, the temptation is there to get sucked in for hours on end. Cap it at an hour or two daily...

My old college classmate, a part-time TikTok influencer, just openly wondered on Instagram whether something's wrong with her TikTok algorithm.
TikTok's sale to the Ellisons has been finalized. The best time to delete the app from your phones was yesterday; the second-best time to do it is now.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

I know there's a lot going on in the world, but that video I came across but can't seem to find again with the lady who said bacon is better if it's cooked in a pot instead of a pan because the "pops" land right back on the bacon instead of the stovetop was right. MOAR FLAVOR.

APPEAR to contradict?
No, New York Times. Videos clearly contradict what feds are saying. Get this shit right, you fucks.

Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident on Saturday morning. Colleagues and a senior law enforcement official identified the man who was shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive-care nurse. Follow live updates.
Minneapolis Live Updates: Videos of Shooting Appear to Contradict Federal Officials
An I.C.U. nurse shot by federal agents was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said. A New York Times video analysis shows he was holding a phone, not a gun.

I've seen two videos. They're sickening. Multiple ICE agents push him to the ground, they take something from him (there is a photo of him holding a cell phone in his right hand seconds prior while being confronted by an agent), and then he's executed.

ICE needs to be abolished and their piggies need to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.
There is a video from across the street of half a dozen or so masked federal agents wrestling a man to the ground, punching him. Then there is a shot, then several others, until he is lying completely still.
You may want to be cautious if you don't want to see the video.
