The idea that a president can issue an executive order that overrides Congress, while it may be appealing to everyone who wants TikTok back and agrees that the TikTok ban is a first amendment violation, is actually illegal dictator shit

TikTok's algorithm makes it a really valuable resource for connecting with communities you haven't even figured out you want to connect with yet. It can be life-changing, and people dismissing it as a dancing-teenager app are showing their ignorance.
TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers.
It also had a large chronically ill community.
The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.

The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.
This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.

Today (Nov 28) is apparently Red Planet Day - which celebrates the Mariner 4 launch in ‘64, the first successful spacecraft to fly by Mars and give us our first nice images.
