This is what is happening. It is cynical. It is strategic. It is organised. It is well funded.

If you ever need to explain to anyone why "free speech absolutism" is a very bad idea, I reckon this image (and what it enables) sums it up.
I know there's a risk of amplifying the fascist horror show, but I think we need to be aware of just how far things are going, especially as this man is a Republican candidate for governor of California. All the old safeguards are being deliberately torn down, and the unspeakable normalised.

This is insane from the Democrats. Push Trump's TikTok ban and enact as the dying act of Biden's administration, leaving an open goal for Trump to a) take vast sums from TT and b) get the youth vote by "saving" it. Like WTAF. Do politics better
It’s probably not a good idea for anyone to tie their livelihood to this shitty app gleefully pushing Trump propaganda (or any app where you can’t take your followers with you!)
