The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

Is people using the cruelty of the Trump administration to justify their own omissions and racism

Because they think this is an opportunity for a “correction”

Men are socialized to hate women. They are told from a small age the worst thing they can do is “cry like a girl, or throw like a girl or act like a girl.” Then they grow up associating women & girls with shame. And that is how this misogyny breeds. It is patriarchal conditioning from the get-go.

Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

Soon millions of domestic workers may lose their right to demand even the federal minimum wage—a mere $7.25 per hour—or any overtime.

Trump’s Department of Labor is moving to rescind a 2013 rule, leaving millions of domestic workers without wage and hour protections.

When the choice is between staying and enduring abuse or leaving and being tortured the way Cassie was in that video, it should be obvious that staying isn’t the same as consenting. Until more people understand this, justice for survivors will be the exception, not the rule.
