Facebook is actively removing postings I'm making today. I maintain a foothold on Facebook, knowing its tawdriness and that it's no friend to progressive politics, because I oversee a family history-DNA project that's housed there. And Facebook is one way I can keep in quick touch with a wide circle of relatives and friends.

First posting removed today: Jess Piper's graphic (below) about white women voting in this election.

Jess Piper on Substack

Second posting Facebook took down immediately: this excerpt from A.R. Moxon today —

"Nazism is on the ballot this year, and people who consider themselves Nazis know it, even if so many of the rest of us seem not to want to. So it came to pass that Nazis came to the pro-Trump boat show in Jupiter Florida last week."

This HAS To Be Normal

Normalization in a time of madness, on behalf of a population dedicated to not knowing terrible things. Bearing witness in a supremacist nation on the verge of a Nazi takeover.

The Reframe

I understand that the word Nazi is an algorithm-triggering red flag, and the photo Moxon uses with MAGA folks flying Nazi flags is another one.

But it's perfectly obvious that Moxon is not promoting Nazis, but doing the opposite. So censoring any critical mention of Nazism to refer to Trump is pro-Republican censorship.

And when another posting with no such red flags is yanked immediately the same day, something more's going on here.

I've just posted the following on my Facebook page and we'lll see what happens:

Yesterday, Facebook immediately took down two of my postings right after I made them, then levying penalties against my account I've never had, which limit my ability to use my account until after November 19 — an interesting choice of dates when the two postings were related to the coming election on November 5.

A clear silencing of me up to the post-election period….

One of the postings was a graphic that Jess Piper had posted on Substack.

After the postings were removed, I shared information about this on my Mastodon page. A follower there told me she would post the same Jess Piper graphic on her Facebook feed and see what happened.

She did so. Facebook did not take it down.

@wdlindsy
Both of these postings have been around for quite a while. I had them in my feed months ago, and shared them with no issue. But they did remove 2 other things I shared, that made no sense. Their power trip is appalling.
@lolonurse Definitely appalling. And rooted in such corruption.
