Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done.
Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

This is what billionaire ownership of the media means:
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta shut down the No Kings account for hours during the height of their protests.
Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election.
Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk.
Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.

Just go fucking vote.
And get ten of your family and friends to vote.
trump and GOP are going to try to suppress your vote. Find a way around it and overcome the obstacles they put before you.
That’s how you stick it to the man.
That’s how America wins.
November is coming.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but Trump saying “Let them take out Los Angeles and San Diego, it's a small price to pay” should be grounds for 25th Amendment removal.
No president, regardless of political affiliation, should be fine with a US city getting nuked.
