Trump just declared that there are only 2 genders, so this is your reminder to get WEIRDER and QUEERER gang

They didn’t even wait until the 19th to ban TikTok. Honestly I hope people realize how big this situation is. TikTok was a news outlet for a lot of Americans who couldn’t get proper news and information (especially when their own news stations are just propaganda and fake news we don’t need to hear), it was also a home to many small businesses and people just trying to make a living. The US government is NOT banning it because of “data” or whatever shit they made up—they are banning it to control the masses and more than just that. This is bullshit.

I genuinely think that while he was originally on our side, he got offered a deal he couldn’t refuse. Our freedom of speech, in exchange for a seat at the world’s largest oligarchy table.

He was literally at the bastards inauguration. He’s now brazenly praising Trump and budding up to Mark Suckerburg and Elongated Muscrat.

As if that orange orangutan piece of shit backed by those two fuck-asses aren’t the people who started this in the first place!

I sincerely hope none of you are fooled by this. This is straight out of Hitler’s playbook. He did almost the exact same thing in the Weimar Republic!

Only difference is when Hitler did it, he was targeting full on news organizations that were not pro Nazi. Trump is targeting an app that allows the people to freely speak to one another on a large platform. And the next step in that plan -just like Hitler’s- is to swoop in and pretend he’s the savior while adding in extreme censorship that we probably won’t know the full impact of for years to come.

Not only that, but it looks like it’s been bought out by Meta! Which -if we all remember- works with the US government to give them our data!

This is going to lead to queer, BIPOC, disabled, and overall marginalized communities suppression. 

Also think about the further implications this will mean for activist who organized on TikTok. They will be able to fully track us.

Let me say that again in case you didn’t understand, they will be fully able to track us!

Which means they could easily find, jail, and in other words take down any well known activist leaders that use TikTok to communicate!!!

Another thing the law they passed does is give them free range to ban any app they see as dangerous to the US government and the oligarchy in charge!!!

We should all be freaking the fuck out! And this isn’t just because they could easily come after Tumblr next since there’s a pretty good activist community on here, it’s because they could do that with anything! Effectively taking complete control of our freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and right to assemble!!

These are major human rights, violations!

"We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!" how about you go fuck yourself

Please reblog for a bigger sample size!

Note: I am aware there are a lot of negative associations, I thought about not including those, but then I also thought the US earned it. Historical reparation.

But that doesn't mean I think the US is all bad! If you have nice stuff to talk about it, share here and I'll reblog!

The pro-Trump propaganda they put in this makes me so fucking mad

[lovemicheal]

admittedly i am no tiktok user, but the fact that an app has been banned before assault rifles feels like a parallel universe kind of a deal.

Reposting this cause for fucking real. Chappy was right maybe we do need a femininomenon.

My sister said something to me earlier today that further solidified the idea that generations before mine have been constantly made to feel intimidated or afraid of this government and the horrible people who work for it and push its agendas. “They’re watching your social media if you’re not careful about what you say they won’t allow you to get a job or be successful.” Is one of the main things they’ve taught my sisters generation. I told her that you couldn’t intimidate a generation of people who’ve never had this countries protection, care, or protection. I couldn’t give a fuck less if I’m being completely honest with you right now. There’s absolutely nothing this country or the people in it could threaten me with in order to make me shut the fuck up about what they’re doing and the shitty choices they’ve made as a collective. You’ve told generations of Americans that if they don’t shut up and submit to what you’re doing and pushing that their family members would need to move into a state of fear and be afraid for them and that they should be afraid for their livelihoods, their success and their ability to create and build foundations for themselves and it’s about time people get to hear that loud and clear. The fear mongering and the oppression and the silencing of people in this world has got to stop and you only stop cycles of behavior by no longer participating them and changing the way that you behave and react.

They’re trying to make your children uneducated and ignorant by stopping the creation of educational television programs and creating shows and media meant for them that start fucking with their minds from an early age, our teachers are severely underpaid, the curriculum in schools is lacking, they pass laws to take race theory out of the curriculum and stop teaching about the history and oppression of people of color. They ban and attempt to sell apps to American companies so that they can better censor the content that over 1 billion people are consuming every single day that has allowed the truth to spread faster than lies for the first time since this country was founded.

You fucked up letting our generations students with progressive and out of the box ideas into Ivy Leagues to climb your elitist ladder and subjecting generations of individuals to generational trauma and oppression. People have been waiting over forty years for this generation to come into existence. We’re here now. It’s too late.

we live in hell. this is hell. what the fuck are we gonna do.

Just because Trump supposedly brought tiktok back doesn’t mean he’s someone worth following. You may notice that TikTok says “thanks to Trump we are back” or something of that matter, but you need to realize that people will do good things to persuade others to follow them. Trump has caused many issues inside America and a lot of his values and actions follow the same path past dictators followed. He does not care about Gaza, Ukraine, or Congo. He does not care about the immigrants who come into our country. He does not care about the LGBTQ+ community. He does not care about the black, asian, Native American, Mexican lives in American. He’s selfish, he wants power, and he knows how to control the masses. Remember to stay smart guys and love your neighbors.

Americans will ask third worlders stuff like "Do you have alligators/jaguars/lions/etc walking in the streets?" because they think it's a marker of third world countries being poor.

Meanwhile, we have to be like "No, Becky, you don't see alligators wandering the streets in Brazil. You're thinking of Florida."

Is the school gonna supply students with computers and wifi? because otherwise this will severely impact low income and rural kids.

False narratives in mass media produces a perpetual cycle of violence fueled by irrational hate.

American media outlets are so disconnected from humanity that the lies they spread hurt their own people.

As much as we support and aid those in Palestine let's not forget the Palestinians here, in America, who are also bearing the brunt of hate from irrevocable beings.

I wish for Hisham and the others attacked in this hate crime justice and healing. 🇵🇸
