      We all know they want to reject running the ad because they want to stay in the good graces of Trump, but I’m fairly sure these platforms can decide if they want to run an ad or not. I don’t like it, but it’s legal so there’s not much that can be done.

      Oh? Political content not allowed? Since fucking when? They certainly aren’t shy with mountains of pro Republican political garbage

      Just burn his properties to the ground and drive him out like the Robber Barons of old America. That’s what they mean when they say “great *again*”.

      Funny, I remember Musk trying to sue companies for the advertising boycott against X. What a hypocrite.

      Consider going to the movie. I booked at my local theater and there were almost no seats booked.

      All YouTube does is show literal AI generated misinformation as ads, plus attack ads on Democratic candidates for offices… interesting this is where they choose to draw the line.

      Something something free something something absolutists something something fact checkers doing more harm than good something something free speech something something public square

      Man, it really is just one giant ass-licking circle jerk between these billionaires. Fuck every single one of them.

      I’ll be going to the theater for this movie, purely because of all the fuckery that’s been going on with its advertising

      This tells you all you need to know about the “free” and “liberal” media in America. What a joke! This needs to be changed asap
