    St trhia stage its ur own faults for still using tik tok. Seriously it s funny Chinese app made to make us dumber it should have been banned

    Literally comical. Anyone who still uses the app is either complicit in government surveillance and fascism or an idiot who just does not know better.

    I’ve been testing it out and have sent dms with the word Epstein and they are still there.

  5. If we get back to Democratic leadership, we need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine and go on a serious trust busting spree against the oligarchs/billionaires. No reason for the top 4 or 5 billionaires have turned our media into fiefdoms under their conservative control.

    I wouldn’t use TikTok before because it was owned by the Chinese and I’m definitely not using it now that it’s owned by Trump allies.

  7. Is this real? I’ve never used it but did they really ban even the word Epstein? That is so immature and silly.

  8. Remember when MAGA pundits were all over complaining that the Marxist libs were trying to take their free speech? Blaming “liberals” when YouTube censored them? Fear-mongering about “cancel culture?” Where tf are they now? Where is the hysteria when it’s actually coming from a government administration? I’m not on Facebook anymore, or Twitter but it used to be I couldn’t escape right wing podcasters and the like. They just disappeared.

    Like…what you were afraid of is *actually* happening. It happened when Elon bought Twitter too. So where is the outrage?
