Can't bring myself to cheer for players who said it's an honor to play for Trump, especially when one of their girlfriends has suffered death threats because of T. But I am a Red Raider and will always love Tech and my students. But M's dropped in my estimation. I'll be glad to see your ad.

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?

You are assuming that evidence is going to matter as we move forward. It isn't, sadly. I wish this wasn't true, but things are about to get very ugly. And the GOP isn't going to stop him from destroying what little protections we had. American voters have given our rights away.

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.

#Trump's 2020 order banning #TikTok was blocked by a federal judge and dropped by the Biden administration.

He started the movement to ban #TikTok. Don't let anyone tell you he's saving it now.

"During his first term as president, he tried to ban the app. In an executive order issued in August 2020, Trump claimed the app was capturing mass amounts of information about Americans and leaving it vulnerable to the Chinese government."
