Supreme Court voted to insure Trump gets credit for saving TikTok. If they voted to save it then Trumps credit would not exist. Just another one of his games.
Bingo!! That’s definitely the play, his ego requires credit & praise for everything. Same with the cease fire in Gaza & hostage/prisoner exchange. Netanyahu & Trump worked the timing of this out once it became clear he had won the election.
Thank you Aaron. I hope you don’t mind this old person being on your feed. I’m 61 but here to support you. I’ll be subscribing at end of the month. Teacher salary. Need I say more.
I acknowledge your 61 and and add another 22 years which is where I am. There is much work to be done and the only option we don't have is to do nothing. I'm with Aaron!
I'm 82 and on fixed income but I hope to subscribe. Legacy news has failed us. They bow to people like Trump. PS Younger people like me. Why? Because I listen to them. We need their input. It is urgent that we listen to their views.
Please turn that hatred to something positive. There is much work to do and we must all be part of it. A friend recently told me that my anger feeds MAGA. They get pleasure from my negativity. I must do my part in the work and make MAGA irrelevant. I refuse to feed them any more!
Agreed! It’s so hard but I have been trying to redirect myself - looking for local volunteer opportunities, emailing my congress person (but they already are on my side), supporting organizations as I can….
Every little bit helps. One act added to another equals more impact. One foot ahead of the other moves us forward. It takes time. Unfortunately we want instant gratification and that's not realistic given the battle ahead. We must think about and visualize the goal as the long picture. Easy to say but hard to do. I firmly believe what Kamala said about how strong we are when we work together. Women in particular have power when they organize. Let them underestimate us to their own peril!
Discovered substack because of this young man. Young people, shape the world into what you want it to be, not what the oligarchs intend it to be, it's your turn now.

Exactly. It’s all about his fragile ego
Exactly. He's such a narcissistic prick.
Exactly
Hegseth being approved by Republicans after literally all of his inappropriate past was aired out is insane

Age is just a number! Ok so I am up there as well but these updates are concise, informative and well balanced! And I love a fresh perspective!

At 61 you're still a kid to this 81y.o. 😉 but I agree with you 100%.
I believe the main reason for the yelling about TikTok is that Elon Mush wants to buy it.
I suspect
Thank you Aaron. This opens the door to change the first amendment as well. This country is going to hell. But no, not surprised.
If Trump keeps it open , it will be so one of his oligarchs can buy it. There always needs to be something in it for him.
So true
Whether or not TikTok goes away, I am so liking SubStack! And it will read the daily news to me on my tablet !
Smh we can’t depend on this country’s officials to ever be for the people. I hate it hereeeee 😩😩😩.
This is a very sad day😢
Did you see that the CEO of TikTok has been invited to the inauguration? I'd call that a pretty clear signal.
Suppressing freedom of speech is their plan😞

Why am I not surprised!
If the Supreme Court ruled on the tic toc ban due to national security, then why is Trump thinking of not banning it?
Is there a way to get a post that doesnt cause an external click?
I just read (have not yet verified) that TikTok would have to pay $5k per day (and per user) as a fine even if the ban weren’t enforced.
For me Substack is the future if you're serious about reading good journalism.
