This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.
Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

Tiktok is state media now. Queer, trans, liberal, leftist content etc will ask be suppressed going forward.
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:

Ian Wellman set out to document an extreme wind event early last year. He wound up capturing the onset of the terribly destructive Southern California wildfires. The presence of slight musical additions does not distract from the sheer destructive force on display, this is not for casual engagement.
