Fair is the wrong four letter word

And I killed my own happiness to avoid Gil Scott poems

So I’m just buildings in the water now

And nothing feels the same on the inside of a shell

Yet everything hurts everywhere and all at once // I deserve it so don’t hold back

Masochism on my back // to remind me I’m never good enough and maybe I’m the poem my father wrote after all

And tell the love of my life to find my body in the water when time collapses into a timeline where the peace is still real

so the house of representatives just passed a bill that will now move to the senate to BAN tik tok completely in the united states and they are expected to argue that “national security risks” outweigh the freedom of speech and first amendment rights. biden has already said that if it gets to him, he will sign it. whether or not you use the app…….this is something to be worried about

before u have the kneejerk reaction of “good I hate tt anyways” or “maybe ppl will go outside” that’s not what this is about! the government wants to remove an entire app with over 170 million american users (who in large have used it as a platform to build community, consume and spread world news, advocate, organize), and try to force people back to us based apps like meta and google. please think about the implications. please think about what else they could potentially do if they get away with this. this could very well set a precedent for free speech & constitutional rights as well know it, and it is imperative we are on the right side of it

By the way, the actual language of the bill would allow them to ban any website or internet hosted app from a "foreign adversary", as described in the vaguest possible terms. This isn't about tiktok and will not stop at tiktok.

now, THIS is the "tiktok ban bad" post to reblog.

This bill is only about the ADL and pro-Isruhell Zionists in power fearing the narrative shift because generationally, pro-Palestine voices are younger and not falling for their propaganda and lies like older generations are. The bill is masked as anti-China rhetoric (which is the same recycled red-scare propaganda). But has nothing to do with that.

It’s fully about controlling narrative. Because this empire is crumbling.
