Either Dr. Ian Roberts is a master con artist or ICE is lying. He cannot have arrived in the US in 1999 and graduated from Coppin State in 1998. This is not an Orwell novel. Both of these things cannot be true.

Congrats to Biden, the rest of the Democrats who supported the TikTok ban last year, and this guy specificallyโthey got what they wanted. Draconian censorship was necessary because the kids were pro-Palestine and struggling in Bidenโs economy. And nowโan even more concentrated media environment.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Today, the UN officially designated Israelโs assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
