Update: they rejected my appeal. Now it’s gone. But joke’s on Larry Ellison, in the time it was being appealed I gained nearly 3000 followers and now they’re all asking what happened.
I made a Tiktok video about the Epstein emails. It was flagged and taken down for “Misinformation” at about 1k views. I had a strike placed against my account (my first!).

I appealed it.

Now it’s at 130k views and counting. I’ve had videos go viral before, but NEVER this quickly! Did I break it?

Love when authors act all snobby. Like honey, you're not the first writer and you won't be the last I’ve encountered. They might be the rudest I’ve met so far, if that’s the list you want to be on 🤣. Mistakes happen. Let live and let go. Oh, and free #BannedBooks

They called it explicit.
They took lines out of context.
But Lawn Boy is about poverty, race, queerness, and survival — the things so many Americans live every day.
This is why banned books matter.

He's undoubtedly planning the Mother of all Distractions but can't think of anything to top flying over a city in a crown dropping poo on American citizens.

A book about two penguins building a family together.
That’s it.
That’s the “controversy.”
Love makes a family — always.

They’re not just rewriting history — they’re demolishing it.

The East Wing of the White House is being torn apart for a ballroom, and the work began before federal approval.

This isn’t modernization — it’s erasure.

America’s baby bust continues 📉
The U.S. birth rate has hit a record low — just 1.6 children per woman in 2024, far below the replacement level of 2.1. Experts point to economic stress, delayed parenthood, and shifting priorities as key factors behind the decline.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.

The legacy of the Roberts court.
