Tiktok is state media now. Queer, trans, liberal, leftist content etc will ask be suppressed going forward.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

The killer was in no danger when he murdered her.
