1. Trump's Niece Banned on TikTok for Being Mean to His Goon

"Donald Trump’s niece says she’s been banned from TikTok after attacking her uncle’s lackey.

Mary Trump is an outspoken critic of the president and his administration, and claimed on Thursday that the Larry Ellison-owned platform has “permanently banned” her.

On her Substack, The Good In Us, Mary said she was informed of two user violations on TikTok, including an attack on Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr, after he threatened media outlets over their coverage of Trump’s war with Iran."........

I didn't even know Mary was on TikTok. That's how much attention I pay to the place. It's just not on my radar. The only time I watch a TikTok video is when it's posted at DU.

All that aside, though, this is freaking scary evidence of how the Orange Hellbeast is wielding his illgotten power to silence his critics. We heard about this, presumably because she wrote about it on her substack and the Daily Beast picked it up. But how many voices have already been silenced that we didn't hear about, and how many more will there be before it's all said and done?

This is truly terrifying.

... disagreeing with an incompetent liar who abuses the power of his office is a crime in the eyes of Mr. Ellison. Good to know.
Mary Trump's toenail clippings are better than the entire Ellison Klan.

trump's corporate sycophants are doing everything to shut down the truth, the facts and any dissent. I don't think it will work in the long run but maybe I'm just trying to be optimistic.

banned by TikTok after the nepotism-baby billionaire took it over. And, of course, shadow banned on Facebook and X…

Wouldn't touch TikTok with a ten-foot pole BEFORE the Oracle moran subsumed it and won't start now.

I'll continue to listen to you everywhere I can. Been listening to your radio show on KPFK for decades, not gonna stop now! Thanks for all that you do for intelligent public discourse.

Tic Toc in other countries is not ruled by US. Europe has, and I hope soon Canada, started dropping Microsoft for Open Sources and will be dropping Visa clearing as well. Musk is getting hammered in the courts in Europe as the other tech giants have been, and will be, as well. Trump has managed to not only isolate the US as a country but most of its top tech businesses as well, because of his influence over them. Europe has declined Musk's offer to use it's space ship to launch their satellites and Canada will be launching new satellites soon as well. It is truly a full split coming, between the US and the rest of the world, that I don't think will ever be fully repaired.

And soon, the greedy fiend will be censoring nonNAZIs all over what's not stripped off Paramount, oddly enough, for Netanyahu.

Hopefully the younger generation can see what's happening in America and the World and Vote Accordingly.. and not how PEDO & Larry Ellison want them to get in line.

Is Mary T on Blue Sky? That seems like a good site for her as well as her Substack?

Ellisons own part of Tik Tok.

If the sale of WB Discovery goes through, what else will they do.

Will they quash any script that is contrary to their agenda.

I do not think Casablanca, a WB film, could be made today by the Ellisons because it was too critical of fascism.
