Across social media (TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook) you might notice a new trend: posts that include the word “protest” are often suppressed by platform algorithms.
Alt National Park Service (@altnps.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
In response, many people have started using coded language (referring to protests as “music festivals,” “community picnics,” or even “art walks”) to avoid censorship. Remember to get creative with your wording.

Scott Lincicome: Maybe the craziest part of Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs is they tend to get HIGHER as countries' tariffs on US exports get LOWER. (Eg, Switzerland got 39% even though its tariffs average 0.2%). So, we're punishing countries for being open to US goods. Which is totally irrational.

White House insiders believe Ghislaine Maxwell’s family leaked Epstein’s “birthday book” to the WSJ… as a warning to Trump and as an integral part of their campaign for a Trump pardon. They expect Trump to pardon Maxwell in exchange for her promise to suppress evidence that incriminates Trump.
