“There’s no groundswell of support for getting rid of TikTok,” says investigative journalist @Julia Angwin . “Only 30 percent of Americans in polls said that they would support a TikTok ban, and not all of them said that enthusiastically.” By contrast, there is overwhelming support for federal privacy legislation regulating what companies can do with their data, she says. Yet elected officials haven't done much on that front, Julia says. “It’s time to think about what we really want and see if we can get Congress to do it.” #tiktokban #bigtech #keeptiktok #nytopinion

@nytopinion columnist Ezra Klein argues that if you look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term, you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see. #nytopinion

Exile. Imprisonment. The end of elections. We know what tyranny looks like once it’s underway. But how does it start? We spoke with people from around the world who missed the warning signs of tyranny taking root in their home countries. They can see the red flags, in retrospect. And they have a word of caution: The rule of law doesn’t break down overnight, and checks and balances don’t collapse in an instant. Tyranny takes time. | 🎥 Kiana Cole and @Adam Westbrook | Art #nytopinion

Kristl Tomlin, a pediatric and adolescent gynecologist, recalls an encounter she had with police. “I’ve had police threaten to come to my home,” she says, “and I’ve had police call my phone and threaten me.” Before 2022, when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, interacting with the police was never part of her job. But such encounters contributed to her leaving South Carolina, one of the states affected by the Court’s decision. @nytopinion asked people at the front lines of abortion access to help us understand how the new laws have filtered into their worlds.

@nytopinion writer Jess Grose shares how this year’s Oscar nominations reflect a rebuke of President Trump that is pointedly different from the artistic protests of his first term. “We’re not seeing a lot of corny, cringey videos,” Jess says. “But what we are seeing is people continuing to make art that is a bit of a poke in the eye.” | 🎥 James Robinson and Jia Li #nytopinion

Many major U.S. companies are rolling back their diversity, equity and inclusion programs after President Trump’s return to the White House. As we witness the slow death of corporate D.E.I., let us honor its memory. | 🎥 Amanda Su #dei #nytopinion

Ezra Klein, an @nytopinion columnist, talks with the author Martin Gurri about the transition out of Barack Obama's "cool, calm, collected" era of politics into the mystic world of Trump 2.0 — where President Trump's supporters seem to feel a spiritual connection to their leader and country.

For many women, getting an IUD is extremely painful. Dr. Christine Henneberg has inserted hundreds of IUDs, and argues that medicine can help, but it doesn't get at the root of the betrayal patients feel when they aren't properly warned. "Women are capable of handling immense amounts of pain," she says. "We just need to know the truth." | 🎥 Kiana Cole; TikTok videos from @waterman.c, @xxcarley, @malbtat, @yktv.karli and @theriverbarbie #nytopinion
