NYT: Bernie Sanders said in an interview that at 84, his days as one of the defining faces of progressivism in America are numbered, so he is working to help elect as many like-minded allies as possible up and down the ballot, from county commissions to the Senate.
“By the time I’m 104 and serving my 8th term in the U.S. Senate — that’s a joke,” Mr. Sanders said, pausing for effect. “Yes of course, we’re building a movement for the future.”
Just one hour after Hasan threatened to sue the NYC councilwoman for Islamophobia, her own ethics committee agreed to charge her for her Islamaphobic remarks💀
The irony writes itself.
When TikTok was Chinese-owned, Washington screamed “national security threat” because America needed to protect its freedom.
Now TikTok is under a US-controlled structure… and suddenly Americans are discovering that the only people who ever censored them this aggressively weren’t in Beijing, they were in California and DC.
So the platform is “unsafe” under China because it might censor political speech, but becomes magically “safe” under the US while actually suppressing posts critical of the sitting president?
That’s not a glitch, that’s what happens when propaganda finally loses its foreign villain and has to show its domestic face.
The funniest part:
China never needed to control TikTok to silence Americans.
America only needed to control TikTok to silence Americans.
Freedom, apparently, was the feature… until the wrong users tried to use it.
