An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

DEI and Affirmative Action have been around in one form or another, since the 1960’s. And ever since, conservatives have worked hard to tie it to blackness- but this is not true. In all of that time, do you know who the primary beneficiary of this policy has been? White women

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

Texas Republican Gov #Abbott banned state employees from using #TikTok after Biden was elected--BECAUSE in 2020 #Trump deemed it dangerous and tried to ban it. It's been years since I've been allowed to use TikTok without getting fired. www.texastribune.org/2022/12/07/g...
