Both my FB and IG accounts have been suspended, and I can't access either. A surprise blessing. I've long debated my presence on those platforms considering all the fascist things, and now it is done. I have just downloaded my content from them and will focus on Bluesky, Substack, and my website.

That’s not “immigration enforcement.”
This government is out here punishing witnesses.

Fascism is HERE.
