HEATHER COX RECOMMENDS GETTING OFF FACEBOOK
One missing post dealt with allegations that senior members of Trumpโs Admin had discussed military strikes on Yemen over unsecured channels. It spread fast. 130,000 likes, 60,000 shares & then it disappeared.
Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?
