I believe we've just seen massive suppression on Facebook to affect the elections that amounts to Election Interference.

Anyone who had a regular personal account on Facebook that had a certain number of followers, I'm not sure the number, months ago was forced to either take their account private or if they wanted to still be able to post publicly and to have public followers have your page turned into a Creator page

I chose to keep my public following because I use my page to put out facts and information especially around politics.

Suddenly around September / October we couldn't post links outside of the meta ecosystem.

We got two links a month.

There was even a link counter in the upper left of your posting field.

You also couldn't post them in the comments.

(Although I did find a way to do that.

If you posted an image before the preview came up it didn't trigger the box that refused to let you post if you had a link in your comments... )

The only way to post links outside of the ecosystem was to pay them $49.99 a month for 8 links, $149.99 a month for 20 links, and $499 a month for unlimited links.

So it seemed at first like just a crappy push for money. But then I realize this is a way to suppress people from posting about election topics before the election.

And lo and behold it seems that's likely true because they have removed the link count from the input field and I've been posting links without issue since yesterday.

They were suppressing our accounts, quite literally with impossibly high prices for purchasing links out, likely to suppress information about the election.

Now I have no way of knowing if they did it primarily to liberal accounts or they just didn't care if it was liberal or Republican because more liberals post on their platform anyway.

But it'd be great if one of your publications with your journalistic excellence and your ability to do investigative journalism would look into this because this should be called in front of Congress.

There's no way this is accident..

By the way I'm a digital strategist for a living, I've been working with these platforms since they came into existence, and I've been following there actions on a shared podcast that I'm on.

This needs to be brought to light.
I'm also tagging Congresspeople.

Note if Facebook gets wind of this they will probably put back on the link restrictions to make it look like that's not what they did, but I have video of the link restrictions, the payment they required, and I have video today of the link restrictions being removed.

Please someone look into this.

🚨 To the Democratic party, to all the Democrats newly elected, and the ones that still exist, go see what @ZohranKMamdani did when he first got elected.

He fixed tangible things that were impeding on every day life.

Potholes.

Here's a number to reach the government to fix potholes.

Something that people saw every single day. Something that annoyed them every single day.

And they were given empowerment to get the things fixed.

Well you go for the big things you need to give immediate little things that can be felt seen and touched.

Then people will believe that you are actively addressing their issues.

This was brilliant.

Also go for the process.

Yes we need to go after everyone and everything related to what #ICE has done, but start with the ICE agents.

If the ICE people start seeing other ICE agents getting put in front of judges and going to jail for their actions, they will not want to do this anymore

You can't have a war if you don't have the soldiers.

Wall in the background building the other cases that you need to build.

And we have so many lawyers in Congress now.

Start sewing everything up like you were doing a contract.

Meaning we can no longer rely on norms and mores, the guardrails must be codified.

They must be laws.

Containment must come from law
Punishment must exist for breaking these laws

Also I never hear anyone talk about this go after Congress people lying in Congress when they're officially acting as Congresspeople

[National security exceptions of course]

No more of this using hearings to get out of sound bites that are completely fictitious

In fact, just fine then immediately for every lie told like you did when people tried to bypass the gun check during the pandemic.

We'll have a limited window but we need to go after all the things and we need to lock them down with laws with certainty and celerity.

And the Speakership...
Please know if you're going to keep @RepJeffries and @SenSchumer you better let people know why.

Especially about why they're taking AIPAC money.

Explain what they've done that earned them the role.

Because you will get a backlash like you've never seen before if you do not do that and put them in office.

I'm taking no side on this I see everyone's side on this issue, but I can tell you if someone who is involved with 30 grassroots organizations where I live you will lose people if you just put them in without detailed life explanations as to why.

You can't just shove it in people's faces and expect them to swallow it you have to explain it.

And of course, so happy to see the tweets going out that show we are going to hold people accountable.

We need harm reduction first.

And that harm reduction comes from locking up ice agents up to removing Hegseth.

But you can go for the quick wins and the long-term ones at the same time. People need to see the quick wins first.

And of course in those quick wins is getting prices down. I haven't bought a steak in a year. Not at the store.

You know who you could talk to you about this? Trader Joe's.

My Trader Joe's prices went up for a brief time and now they're mostly about the same, maybe 20 cents difference.

Ask them how they did it? Then create a plan to roll out to businesses. And no more record-breaking profits while they're gouging us at the pump or in our health insurance.

My health insurance this past year is $1,400 a month and it's about to go up again probably to $1,600. I have also now to pay $218 for one of my medications because they decided to make it not a tear price but a copay price.

It's easy to the last part of this cuz I could write a book, no more means testing.

Everyone needs help. I wrote something and didn't analysis about what the income level was for the person who needed help during the pandemic. It was up to $140,000 a year depending on what city you lived in.

Or if you're someone like me who has chronic illness my entire life is more expensive but at least 40% of what I earn goes to that.

And I make good money.

But I don't feel like I make good money because all that I have to spend on healthcare.

And I don't even mean for things like devastating diagnoses like cancer I'm just talking about insurance, deductibles, out-of-pocket doctors because they're not on the insurance, prescriptions, and required supplements that are doctor ordered.

Being chronically ill is expensive. No matter what your income level. We need to stop means testing everything like we're living in the 70s and a $50,000 salary buys you a house.

And not just for the chronically all everything.

Stop freaking means testing with numbers that keep people poor.

Someone on disability should just get freaking disability. I don't care how much they make. Well you know unless they are making over $200,000 a year.

So offer the help but raise the limits. And stop deducting what you give someone because they made a few dollars over the limit.

That also includes social security.

And raise the social security income levels immediately.

Anyway, this is becoming more of a rant than just advice but just make sure you do things quickly, make sure you show impact immediately, do the big things and the little things, and look in the process where you can make the best and quickest and impactful change.

Find systems thinkers.

They will help you find these holes and then lawyer up and lock everything down with the law.

Like yes we need to do something about ICE. But that's a long protracted fight. But enabling states to prosecute ice agents? Quick end to anybody wanting to be a part of ICE.

And have a list of things you can quickly get through Congress in January that will affect everyone's daily life and the criminality at the top.

The people are going to need to see immediate action.

Thank you.

All of this ..

""I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague.""

Well I appreciate the data centers kept the fake accounts and bots away -- they are back and once again @XDevelopers have lost control of it.
