I haven’t done any TikToks on my personal but have a lot of plans for that platform in 2023.
I’ll be uploading my past videos to Mastodon and Post over the weekend. In the meantime, you can revisit my Fox News videos here: twitter.com/i/events/15573…
Andrew was suspended for “platform manipulation and spam” without explanation.
For those of you who don’t know who Andrew is, he is a senior manager at @mmfa. If you’re on this site at all, you’ve seen his many of his viral tweets critiquing right-wing media.
