Some days I really luck out by being busy af and just don't have time to have an opinion on the big thing of the moment everyone is having an opinion about until said thing is more or less resolved.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

Nobody is actually giving you a good answer so here's why she's wrong: the negative trendline against Israel in public opinion predates TikTok's emergence by nearly seven years. Also, the largest shift in opinion on Israel in a single demo since 2023 has been among Democrats aged 50yrs and older.
Setting aside her subjective views on Israel, what is she saying here that is incorrect?
Young people do heavily get their views from social media, TikTok is a large component of that, and the TikTok algorithm appears to be controlled, at least indirectly, by the government of China.

What Hillary is saying here is a conspiracy theory and not even a tame, silly one, but a whopper. A more balefully consequential and widespread one than e.g. Trump complaining that the media lied about his crowds being big.

Where America stands, one year after the election.
A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet.

Just consider, for half a second if leftists, the people who are supposedly most antagonistic to religion (especially Christians) in the US, had attacked members of the clergy as often as ICE and cops have in the last few months.
My latest report:
Baptist Pastor Shot in Leg by Officer During All Saints’ Day March Outside ICE Facility

Baptist Pastor Shot in Leg by Officer During All Saints’ Day March Outside ICE Facility
As Baptist pastor Michael Woolf marched on All Saints’ Day in an anti-ICE protest in the Chicago area, he suddenly felt a sting in his leg as a pepper ball round struck him.

As a non-believer, I've long felt that the beauty of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament is that it looks you in the face and says "Did I trick you into thinking this was a grand unifying theory of everything? That's not how any of this works, dear."
