Dustin really isn’t trying to see you out here getting cancelled by all of Black Twitter (because y’all know once you’re cancelled, that’s IT for your mentions), so on this installment of Grown Man Sh*t, he’s showing you how to CYA:

Cover. Your. Ass.

First things first: in making sure your timeline is Twitter police proof, one must first go through and search for buzzwords that could algorithmically come back to bite you later. In this example, Dustin searches for “Beyoncé” along with his Twitter handle—’cause nobody better be talking sh*t about Beyoncé. Other buzzwords to look for are those that include anything related to race, religion, and sexuality that could offend certain groups of people.

After assuring you’re clear, it’s onto the next step, which is making sure any attacks you’ve launched on folks in the Twittersphere were warranted. Upon looking deeper, he sees that he’s come for people like Tomi Lahren, which—as it goes without saying—was totally warranted. As Dustin says, these are tweets you want to keep, because they say more about you then they do about them… “in a good way.” 😉

It’s also important that your social media timelines accurately reflect who you are today. That said, go back and make sure you didn’t say some wild problematic sh*t back when you were 16 and didn’t know better, because age ain’t nothing but a number to the Twitter police—and tbh, you should’ve known better.

Follow Dustin’s advice and you’re in the clear… or at least you should be. You know folks have a way of finding that ONE tweet from 2010 that you entirely forgot about.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
