Mine are not. Only about 1/2 of them LeftInTX Feb 2025 #53

Yes. That's why I still have an account. I rarely post. My last post was a tag to congress critters Ritchie Torres LeftInTX Feb 2025 #21

It's still a good source for short videos underpants Feb 2025 #5

Those same groups post the same videos on bluesky. n/t FSogol Feb 2025 #15

Every elected Democrat posts from there. Passages Feb 2025 #44

If they are not also posting on Bluesky, they are fools Bluetus Feb 2025 #45

That is your opinion, yes. It is not about one or the other, they are on both. Passages Feb 2025 #47

Then you're boycotting the messages of a lot of liberals and Democrats who post only or mostly on Twitter. highplainsdem Feb 2025 #10
