So, I don't know how many folks are my friends here as well as on Facebook, but my FB account has just been disabled, in case anyone is wondering where I am. Of course, they don't tell me why, and say I must appeal within 180 days, but don't say how I can do that.
If anyone here knows, do tell.

Well at least now the MAGATS can just stop whining about how they are being unfairly called racists.
They've done the same to Jackie Robinson.
Because the only reason for any of these people to be there must be DEI. Nobody who isn't a white male could possibly have done anything important. /s😠🤬😠🤬

Canada needs to:
