@aaronparnas.bsky.social Just so you know, your video stated that they would be watching the parade but the parade was canceled. There is no parade.

nursemelaniern.bsky.social•35 days ago

I will miss you Aaron… I’m not adding another app.

paradoxicenigma.bsky.social•35 days ago

Off topic concern: what are you doing to protect your mental health in all of this?

christa-054.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thank you!!❤️

rident-ryan.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thanks for taking the time to make the switch before the ban took place. At least we have your familiar face even if we can’t scroll the tok.

darkth1rty.bsky.social•35 days ago

Brother if Trump's hand is in it, there's no safe space for the left.

kaibiganmo.bsky.social•35 days ago

Unless I missed it, you haven’t mentioned one thing about The People’s March nationwide

darkangel7513.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm super concerned for my city as I've already seen a uniformed ICE officer walking down a busy street here. I live in a community that has a significant concentration of Muslim Americans, and it's predominantly Democratic. I feel like this is going to be a forceful situation.

damondxb.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just because Joe Biden signed the bill to ban TikTok doesn’t mean it’s his fault.

We need to give it back to China ASAP! We trust China with it way more than an American.

And if you don’t know what it’s like to live in a dictatorship, you will tomorrow.

aaandro.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump signed an executive order in 2020 to divest tiktok. Biden reversed it in 2021. In March 2024, Wisconsin republican, Mike Gallagher was the sponsor of the ban bill.

damondxb.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yes but also we should thank Biden for being tough on CPP, not Trump.

desertheather.bsky.social•35 days ago

Are you going back to TikTok. I don’t trust it now that Trump stuck his nubby fingers in it

unwaveringblue.bsky.social•35 days ago

***BRACE YOURSELVES***

YOU ARE A FEW HOURS
AWAY FROM ENTERING FOUR YEARS OF PURE HELL

💩🤡👹☠️💩🤡👹☠️

bipolarscorpio.bsky.social•35 days ago

I should get some stock in depends now that I’m thinking about it

booboobeangirl.bsky.social•35 days ago

Sounds so negative

justchillng.bsky.social•35 days ago

Meanwhile in Russia

smac88888.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thank you! I was looking for an update and found you!

borderlinebree.bsky.social•35 days ago

I literally just created this profile. I am so devastated. I had almost 55,000 followers and a community and now I feel like I will never have that again. 💔 what can we even do?

goldenhecate.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thank you for everything you’re doing Aaron! 🫶🏼

your-friend-tasha.bsky.social•35 days ago

If he or his cronies own it, I’ll delete it. I can’t be bought.

t3serene.bsky.social•35 days ago

Hang in there. And thanks.

ivdv1017.bsky.social•35 days ago

But do we even want it now that they kissed the ring

foreverbluedot.bsky.social•35 days ago

I won’t go back because I don’t trust anything Trump touches.

girluknewonce.bsky.social•35 days ago

Found you again ☺️

baboobar.bsky.social•35 days ago

They are poised to do Kristallnacht on the 20th. Their ice agents are gathering in major blue cities.

christopherco.bsky.social•35 days ago

I have to avoid this today but hoping for great news to happen for us all

juicewylie.bsky.social•35 days ago

People on the street always have the power of video. I would encourage everyone to send videos to Aaron Paras so that more videos are seen.

adhdamnit.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the community. You are appreciated more than you may ever comprehend 🥰🥰 creating a safe space for those of us that are overwhelmed and exhausted.

handyman65.bsky.social•35 days ago

Welcome to communist Amerikkka

justperfect.bsky.social•35 days ago

If we were going communism then the poor and working class would be getting some thoughts and efforts put toward them. We're going to fascism (which is not synonymous with communism no matter how much capitalism wants us to believe).

handyman65.bsky.social•35 days ago

Okay fascist communist Amerikkka

bipolarscorpio.bsky.social•35 days ago

😂😂

morrigan4.bsky.social•35 days ago

I dont know, Aaron. I'm getting the, "we ain't going back to Trump~tok" when it comes back, vibe from We the People.

mshonorableshores.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yup, I'm not going back. They will ruin it.

moonitaur.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yup

chronicdruid.bsky.social•35 days ago

He seems out of touch with this and I hope so much it's just misguided. I can't take another plot twist.

chadpickett.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm def not going back if it has anything to do with him. If they allow me to download and use a different countries version of the app I'd do that. As for America tho, I already uninstalled. The final message thanking him sealed the deal for me.

desertheather.bsky.social•35 days ago

Same

morrigan4.bsky.social•35 days ago

I think we all had a feeling something was off, way off
Then that message letting us know we had a hero coming to save us? Nail in the coffin for me, too. I only wish I had deleted all my posts prior to it going dark.

chadpickett.bsky.social•35 days ago

"Hero" by Nickelback starts to play

titimarie.bsky.social•35 days ago

Been humming Bonnie Tyler 🎼"I need a HERO!!" 🎶

genxwoke.bsky.social•35 days ago

100% agreed! And love your last name! I am a Pickett too (originally 😊)

chadpickett.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh really?! That's awesome! Maybe we're distantly related haha

itsmekt.bsky.social•35 days ago

Flood social media with the TT ban to over shadow the inauguration!

cakeandcats.bsky.social•35 days ago

There won’t be mass deportations, that’s just the talking point. There will be mass incarcerations and forced labor (slavery) at the same jobs these hard working people were previously doing.

chrystina.bsky.social•35 days ago

Lemon 8 has also been banned.

keeperbelle.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’m just going to wait and see what happens - in the meantime I’ve deactivated all my META accounts. Never going back to them. So nice to see you here. 🤗

ralphny11.bsky.social•35 days ago

First

whitepuffyclouds.bsky.social•35 days ago

Can you give everyone an update on BlueSky’s roadmap? Esp if it includes live stream. I think they had something in beta

fluffy-mitten.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thanks for the update, Aaron!

elizhillnew.bsky.social•35 days ago

So happy to see your face

looking4something.bsky.social•35 days ago

Harris 2025 May they put him in cuffs. In the darkness of night the stars shine brightly.

chronicdruid.bsky.social•35 days ago

I ask wholeheartedly genuinely, why are you concerned about Red Note? Is there that much more that they will have access to then in general from sold data from other sites/apps? I want to make informed decisions but I've only seen idc or vague fear promoting.

shelld.bsky.social•35 days ago

They updated the outgoing message.

irishman75.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump bringing back TikTok is a full-blown scam and if you invite people to go back onto it, you are giving into his scam. There are other social media platforms that will be just as good if enough people get on them.

bipolarscorpio.bsky.social•35 days ago

Funny enough I made a Tik Tok score the ban and explained how everyone forcing their followers back to Meta is wrong and unsafe. They shouldn’t want to be there where there is bullying and data selling. They don’t care about their followers they care about themselves

bipolarscorpio.bsky.social•35 days ago

Before the ban*

robinsnest013.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump was the first to try and ban TikTok. Now all of a sudden he's trying to save it. I don't trust ANYTHING coming from Trump. I'm not going to automatically just jump back on TikTok.

strawbabies.bsky.social•35 days ago

I expect 4 years of Orange Man 💩 show. Like the first term, only turbo charged by dementia and revenge

aaandro.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh sweetie, I'm sorry but he has paved the road for himself to make good on his promise to do away with term limits. If he gets sworn in, I don't doubt for a second that he'll actually pull it off and we'll bee stuck with him until he dies.

strawbabies.bsky.social•35 days ago

Then, we must ensure that does not happen. He is just the figurehead of a much more sinister movement funded by the ultra wealthy. It is the warped GOP and its handlers that pose the true threat to the US and our democracy

upyourzone.bsky.social•35 days ago

post some on here because I don't read anything on substack

beerowles.bsky.social•35 days ago

I found you❤️❤️❤️❤️

thetoohonestbff.bsky.social•35 days ago

Make sure to cover the US government taking partial control, bc this was the local news this morning

sharon-myonlypage.bsky.social•35 days ago

AT 9:03 PM cst I'm able to log into TikTok

sueg3.bsky.social•35 days ago

With Americans off TikTok for the inauguration and possible mass deportations, they can control the information on meta and msm and keep us separated.

msbelligerant.bsky.social•35 days ago

My tt works now it 3:43 est. its sus af

faulknerpower.bsky.social•35 days ago

You're right. 🇨🇦 here. US accounts on TT are still up but we are fed old videos. Weird to see half my feed almost disappeared. TT trying to push more 🇨🇦 and int'l content to us. Anyone in the US trying to use a VPN?

proroe.bsky.social•35 days ago

VPN doesn’t work. At least not on accounts previously not setup on a VPN. May for others who established new accounts on a VPN prior to the “dark” period.

faulknerpower.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thanks for the clarification. I saw another US creator saying that she changed her country to Canada on her phone. She was not sure if it would work, but hey.. worth a try.

mellyf92.bsky.social•35 days ago

Red note is not the Chinese version of TikTok, it is the Chinese version of Pinterest with a TikTok platform.

dallast.bsky.social•35 days ago

Whatever it is, they are so lovely over there.

mellyf92.bsky.social•35 days ago

It is a female dominated app. ;)

spring82.bsky.social•35 days ago

I hope the american public does not fall for this charade he is going to attempt to ‘save’ tiktok and free speech 🙄

jessisblond.bsky.social•35 days ago

Unfortunately I have a strong feeling they will. They don’t care to dig into what’s going on. A large chunk of TikTok just wants TikTok back they don’t care how or why.

rontoye.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tiktok is a scam a tool of the us fascist regime. It was once great but now I don’t trust it whatsoever

chachagames.bsky.social•35 days ago

This is one of those times, a 4 year coma sounds nice.

nursemelaniern.bsky.social•35 days ago

FACTS

mmp55.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thanks …. It’s comforting you are there no matter what app I use 🙂

m00nsharp.bsky.social•35 days ago

I have created a cigar app before. Deactivated it bc of FDA reg issues. TikTok is NOT shut down. No communication, means the "message" would not be up. Shut down means no access, no account, nothing.
My opinion- It's up with a specific message to evoke this chaos & make a certain person the savior.

foreverbluedot.bsky.social•35 days ago

Exactly

mayb-az.bsky.social•35 days ago

💯 He just doesn't get it though. No matter what, he will never have our support. He is the epitomy of a loser. Desperate and flacid.

dallast.bsky.social•35 days ago

This gives arsonist sets fire then shows up to be the hero and put out the flames vibes.

mprock.bsky.social•35 days ago

Meta is already hiding posts that bash Trump. I went on to Insta this morning and I always read the hidden comments. None were distasteful but were hidden because they went against Trump policy 🤬

webb147.bsky.social•35 days ago

A news agency posted on insta that a felon was projected to win the presidency the morning after the election and by mid day, the post was taken down. That really pissed me off and made me very distrusting of the platform.

raffjj2785.bsky.social•35 days ago

I concur. I will not go back to tt after this. I don’t trust it anymore!

drumbum512.bsky.social•35 days ago

What can we truly do? Everyone says “stand up” but to do what exactly?

zenna13.bsky.social•35 days ago

I've been on youtube reaearching. Look up attorneys talking about having rights taken. I can say this feels like abusive relationships I've been thru. Boycotting as much as we can might be our best bet for now. If we all do it the #s will show. Shop at aldi as much as possible. Stay passionate!

bluemonday444.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yes check out attorney_di !

kayluvu1.bsky.social•35 days ago

I am here for it just new location.

skylarbloodsaw.bsky.social•35 days ago

As DACA , I don't believe him. He tried to outlaw DACA before and took away the advanced parole. Leaving many stranded abroad. I'm a little scared of what he has in mind for us. Are well really still protected under DACA?

nursedana.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thank you for continuing to report the news and give support to the community! This is why we love you

whatsallthefuss.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thank you for being here and keeping us updated.

dollzonabike.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thank you. I will be joining your subscription soon. I don't want to lose access to the news from the only person I trust.

chrissypoo42069.bsky.social•35 days ago

Border patrol agents started showing up in predominantly Hispanic and Latino communities in LA county last night.

aaandro.bsky.social•35 days ago

I think that they are going to surprise attack and start the raids early. Everyone is expecting it to start on Tuesday but I suspect that certain players have been signaled to stir up certain communities today so that ice can swoop in tomorrow.

patrod1.bsky.social•35 days ago

Then we begin tomorrow.

foreverbluedot.bsky.social•35 days ago

This makes me so angry

fairydogma.bsky.social•35 days ago

This is so effed up

mandyrachelle.bsky.social•35 days ago

China still has to allow the divestiture. And I think they’re negotiating with the tariffs or Taiwan. Even if they did that, Trump has to approve the sale. Only his buddies will be allowed to buy it.

laurabrinkmann.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm in Canada and can still access it. It's just quiet commonwealth discussion now. Peaceful. And all the bots disappeared.

aaandro.bsky.social•35 days ago

In the last 2 days of using it here in the US, I noticed there weren't any ads or bots and most of the trolls had gone too. Can you still see USA profiles?

laurabrinkmann.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yep! Accounts are all still there, you just have to search for them. My FYP converted to nearly all commonwealth countries immediately.

aaandro.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thanks for the info. I wasn't planning to sign in when it comes back but I guess I'll have to just to delete my account.

laurabrinkmann.bsky.social•35 days ago

(And everyone's accounts are fine)

moonmomma.bsky.social•35 days ago

Everything going on in DC while our live lights are out...

garnet-bloodstone.bsky.social•35 days ago

Is there anything that we the people can do against the deportations—protest, etc.?

thebigc56.bsky.social•35 days ago

At this point idk about -against- them, but making sure people at risk from them know their rights is what we’re doing in my community. This is just a generic save from TT, but we’re doing something similar…
