Forbidden Pomegranate

Is it coming back fully for you?

It really is! The American government is complete corruption.

I can’t check my activity or navigate around yet, but if/when it comes back, I will follow you back 🫶

I am with you. I trust nothing.

Looking for my people! #Witchcraft, #book lovers and #animal lovers. It may take me a min to figure out this format.

I am seeing the same.

I can get back into my profile, but nothing else so far. The theatrics of this is so ridiculous. If I get back on, I will never stop fighting against our incoming tyrannical regime! Prepare to be sick of me!

I work in financial software development. Anytime a financial institution is doing a conversion to a new system, it is almost always done over a long holiday weekend. It allows time for the conversion and reconciliation of data, along with quick regression testing. This is all too convenient.

Good to see a familiar face 🫶

I think that might have been a good move. But people are having fun with Fox News' account. It seems there's not really any opportunity to hide or report comments for any US accounts.

RFK Jr. is here b/c no one held him accountable for Samoa

DC MAGA are here because no one held them accountable for 1/6

SCOTUS is here b/c no one held them accountable for bribery

47 is here b/c no one held him accountable for treason

Democracy is sinking into a sea of criminal privilege
Enough!

Protest crowds are the biggest crowds that traitorous fuck will ever get.

I don’t know what to do with myself. Everyone around me acts so unfazed and I can’t for the life of me understand how. How are they so fucking blind to not see what’s happening?

It will never be the same. I was already being suppressed over there anytime I called out men for their disgusting behavior and criticized Trump in any way. It’s clear that it will turn into a conservative propaganda machine.

It absolutely is!

It’s just so cruel what our government has done!

TikTok, Lemon 8, and CapCut are all gone.

Not AR-15’s. Not carcinogenic additives. Not Child Corn.

Those apps are “more dangerous” according to the U.S. government.

And they’re right.

They SHOULD be afraid of The People.

The realest art, rawest journalism, and funniest skits ever produced by regular working class Americans of all ages was on a social media platform that our government just banned.

Folks trying to act cool and aloof about the TikTok ban sound genuinely idiotic. If you don’t get why it’s a devastating and dangerous precedent, that says way more about you than the people lamenting its loss. I learned so much on that app. I saw the funniest shit of my life there. Shit sucks.

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad that a source of education, political resistance, and laughter was stripped from you under the guise of protection.

When the shit goes down everybody meet up at the library. The MAGAs don't know about that place.

Not to be dramatic about not having tiktok but… this is the kind of quiet that happens in movies before the bad guy executes their big plan.

I was wondering the same this morning. YT seems challenging to build community on 😭

as a single black woman, I became a homeowner because of tiktok.

it taught me how to navigate unbelievably complex financial, real estate, and mortgage processes.

through TT, I was able to find a mortgage lender who would actually work with me as a freelancer.

that app broke generational curses.

You are expressing my grief so profoundly 😭

it’s not about the container.

it’s about the connection it can contain.

it’s not about an app.

it’s about a wildly unlikely group of humans that found eachother, supported each other, uplifted each other, and LOVED EACH OTHER.
