🎙️ This isn't just a political campaign, but a cultural movement.

We're launching a podcast to pull the curtain back on the political process for the American people. We're saying the quiet part out loud. Join me & guests @RubinReport, @JenniferSey, @Marian_L_Tupy,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… open.spotify.com/show/0ATyTNFYe…

We’ve celebrated our “diversity” so much that we forgot all the ways we’re really the same as Americans, bound by ideals that united a divided, headstrong group of people 250 years ago. I believe deep in my bones those ideals still exist. I’m running for President to revive them. We’re in the midst of a national identity crisis. Faith, patriotism & family are disappearing. We embrace one secular religion after another – from wokeism to climatism – to satisfy our deeper need for meaning. Yet we cannot even answer what it means to be an American.

Liberals are reflexively responding that Biden wasn’t *yet* President in Oct 2020, so his censorship coordination with Twitter back then wasn’t unconstitutional. That’s true, but it admits that if he WERE President, it would’ve been. Well, that’s exactly what he did as President. See the case of Biden White House officials repeatedly pressuring Twitter to remove individual critics of the U.S. government, including @AlexBerenson.

Proud to see Strive impacting corporate America already:

On Nov 1, I sent the letter below to Exxon requesting a meeting with CEO Darren Woods and mandating them to add a new director to restore balance.

1/6 Nov 16: I met with Mr. Woods at Exxon HQ. He pushed back on some points but committed to considering new directors.

Today: I’m pleased to see Exxon add two qualified directors to the board.

If the Framers of the First Amendment were alive to see this, they’d say it’s time for a second American Revolution.

If the American experiment is based on one idea, it’s this: our government should not have the power to silence its critics. That’s the whole ballgame.

It’s too bad Hollywood can’t make movies like American History X anymore and settles for god-awful Black Panther sequels instead.

The racist assumptions of “anti-racist” movies like this are so glaring yet liberal white audiences eat it up anyway because it makes them feel good. Turns out that modern “anti-racism” and intellectual nuance don’t mix well. That’s a shame because at least the original critical race theorists like Derrick Bell and Kimberle Crenshaw actually had something interesting to say, but that ended with the likes of Kendi & DiAngelo.

C’mon Elon… If the whole point was to fix Twitter, then step up and do it man.

THREAD: If the Taliban believed that the United States would have credibly taken dramatic and immediate countermeasures for reneging on their prior Doha agreement, they wouldn’t have done what they did in the last day.

Period. The identity of our President actually matters when they make that calculus.

When America criticizes and attacks itself from within, it loses the moral authority to project strength abroad, that has geopolitical consequences.

Senator @HawleyMO correctly points out that corporate power is a problem, but I disagree with his solutions.

The real problem isn't a monopoly on products. Rather it's an *ideological cartel* that includes small companies, startups, and VC firms. Antitrust won't fix that. 1/ He's trying to make companies smaller by law. Good intention, but bad policy. I prefer the largest companies in the world to be American rather than, say, Chinese (which would be far worse). I just want American companies not to actively destroy America's free speech culture. 2/

I just spoke to a HS senior. He’s biracial, raised by his single black mom — but he looks white. They say his school required him to confess his white “dominance.” He refused, so they failed him. Now he may not graduate. His family can’t afford legal fees.

Join me in helping. Can’t make this stuff up.

Reach out to the lawyers who are helping them: @burns_law. It was my honor to help out in a small way, I hope others will too.
