There’s an extremely dumb controversy on Canadian poliTok right now. People were trying to cancel Frank Domenic cause he was apparently being a misogynist. He had to post an apology video last night.

Behind the scenes look of what it’s like to work for the MeidasTouch Network. Hint: my office is my living room 🤣 #meidastouch #politok #breakingnews

We’re missing the point of this. This IS the new face of politics. It’s about attention and influence. #corybooker #fillibuster #politok #senate

I’m on TikTok a lot more than BlueSky because I need a break from the politics —but it seems I get on politok like some kind of masochist. Anyway I’m Sauced Bitch if you’re on Tok.

I’ve started a list of accounts that I followed on #TikTok (mostly political). Maybe this will help others keep their sense of community. #politok

Politok has drained me

booktok influencers melting down and going "i thought this was booktok, not politok. reading isn't political" now is so much less surprising when you think of the previous meltdowns there where a lot of these same women were mad that they're "expected" to read books by/about queer people or POC lol

I joined to find adopteetok but I also found lefty politok and bc I’m a messy bitch the algo keeps bringing it to me 😮‍💨

Looking though discord DMs talking to people I knew before politok wow I changed a lot the past 3 years
