Their "customer service" is almost nonexistent. My FB account was "restricted" because I posted about the authors in an anthology I edited, with a link to a Kickstarter. A year later, they said it was a bad link and restricted me. No way to request review.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.
Of course it’s the Epstein files. Grijalva was elected by the voters of her district. She has every tight to take her seat in the House. Johnson is doing everything he can to bury Epstein because he knows Trump’s name is in there many, many times. We may all grow ancient before Mike grows a pair.

The constitution gives us an implied right to privacy and an explicit right against unauthorized search and seizure. The “search” part is being regularly violated on a massive scale. The “seizure” part less so, but still more than the constitution allows.
Incredibly informative thread about the ways ICE can know who we are, what we’re thinking, and what we’re doing. And as is being made clear, ICE is not just focused on immigrants—it’s Trump’s private army to attack people who disapprove of his reign of terror.
🚨 It's time to talk about about DHS's surveillance apparatus.

For a few months, I've tracked ICE contracts for a map of companies supporting the mass deportation agenda. Huge sums for detention, weapons, and—especially alarming—an array of tech for spying on immigrants and citizens alike.

Dodged a bullet.

Or…did Christie ever use bullets? Maybe you dodged a poisoned plum pudding or something.

Pete Buttigieg WARNS America:

“They didn't stop at the law firms. They didn't stop at the Universities. They didn't even stop at the comedians. They are NOT going to stop until they have TOTAL POWER!."
AND I heard from the writer of the piece, who also apologized profusely. These people own their errors. Really good to know.
Props to Phoenix Magazine! They’ve already made the correction to the story. I’ve rarely seen such responsiveness from the press.
There's an author's name on the story, but that doesn't really mean anything these days. Sadly.
