@TheVinoMom@elonmusk@X Congress and the tech bros...all of them are underestimating the enormous mental health toll this ban will have for millions of Americans
@elonmusk People rely on TT to connect when they're physically unable to leave house. A mutual of mine just got online to say goodbye to life because she is so despondent over losing her lifeline on TT, and it's scary! TT needs to be saved to prevent massive mental health crisis!
@elonmusk - Why is @X suppressing and deleting the posts and engagement being brought to X tonight by the TikTok Community?! These are real people - not BOTS, fighting to Save TikTok for small businesses, creators, and our economy. They have come here to make their voices heard by their political representatives. STOP DELETING ALL OF YOUR NEW USERS ACCOUNTS and suspending them for taking action - this is supposed to be a platform built on 1a?!
@Trellraiser@TheVinoMom It's weird how China created a product that benefits small businesses better than Google or Meta.
American oligarchs are slacking.
As a creator and small business advocate the following is my statement on the TikTok ruling today at the Supreme Court of the United States.
While many would expect TikTok creators to prepare for the worst after the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the TikTok ban, we are instead steadying ourselves and placing our trust in @realDonaldTrump to deliver on his promise to Save TikTok. Millions of small businesses across America rely on TikTok not just as a platform but as a lifeline. Hundreds of thousands of American workers are employed because of the businesses thriving on TikTok, and millions of creators use it to pay their bills in an economy where Congress has failed them time and time again.
This ban represents everything wrong with Washington. It’s a law born of lobbying dollars, fear-mongering, and backroom deals—yet those same forces can’t seem to get Congress to pass laws to lower healthcare costs, ensure a living wage, or address America’s crumbling infrastructure. Congress spent its time and resources rushing through this attack on small businesses and free speech while ignoring the pressing issues that impact everyday Americans. This TikTok ban is a stark reminder that our lawmakers can move swiftly when they’re well-funded by special interests, but drag their feet—or outright fail—when it comes to serving the people they’re supposed to represent.
We’ve watched as Congress sat idle on meaningful solutions to problems plaguing the American people: inflation, healthcare inequities, stagnant wages, skyrocketing housing costs, and a student loan crisis that burdens millions. Yet here we are, witnessing the swift passage of a law that harms creators, employees, and entrepreneurs—people who were simply trying to survive and thrive in an economy stacked against them.
As an advocate for the creators and businesses of @tiktok_us, I am profoundly disappointed in the Supreme Court's decision. But more than that, I am horrified by the law itself—a law that reveals the depths of dysfunction in our government and its failure to prioritize the real needs of its citizens.
@realDonaldTrump, you once said you would fight to save TikTok, a platform that empowers the backbone of our economy: small businesses and hardworking Americans. We’re counting on you to honor that promise. The millions of entrepreneurs, workers, and creators who rely on TikTok are waiting—and so is America.
Please read and share this perfectly worded statement by the incredible Tiffany Cianci, the best small business advocate this country has ever seen.
I know one of you can get this to President Trump. Let’s make sure he sees it.
I stand with Tiffany Cianci and many others on the support to keep TikTok and we'll fight to the very end. To @realDonaldTrump and @POTUS we express and demand that TikTok be left alone as is. It's never been a security threat as noted in this ban the Supreme Court noted today.
@TheVinoMom@POTUS please listen to us! I just saw a creator on TT say goodbye, as in forever goodbye to life because TT was her only outside connection. The mental health crisis banning this app will cause will be catastrophic.
TikTok Family, your voices are being heard!! They will NEVER silence us. We are 170 million Americans, 7 Million Small Businesses, Hundreds of Thousands of Employees of TikTok businesses, and Millions of Creators that rely on TikTok to provide for our families! Keep sharing your stories and fighting to Save TikTok!!! @POTUS - issue the statement needed to keep the lights on, and @realDonaldTrump, PLEASE remember that we are counting on you to deliver on your promise to protect our community and economy by saving @tiktok_us!
@tlcbravogirl So glad someone finally said this! I thought the same thing! He is the most narcissistic and not-at-all-genuine person in the cast...and a gaslighter! He wants the attention and kudos! He also wants to control Shaeeda so she doesn't work and thinks baby will keep her home!
@tomcostellonbc Please don't blame the folks finally standing up to abusive workplace practices (#TheGreatResignation) for increased prices at the grocery! You just told everyone that workers don't deserve protection and rights! Is this how you feel? You, sir, are very misguided.
