Facebook just purged hundreds of independent news pages.

A lot of these pages were run by very real, real-life friends of mine who worked hard to build them.

This wasn't an attack on fake news. It was an attack on the non-corporate media.

Facebook just notified me that they “accidentally” took down several of my livestreams, and restored some.

Incidentally, all the deletions were from the @LPNational Convention + a video of a cop.
Here’s a list of pages taken down that just one single friend of mine lost. Most deal with police accountability, libertarianism, and cannabis.
Good story about Facebook’s recent onslaught against the indie media by @TheDailyHaze

Holy shit. The Anti-Media’s Page was just removed from Twitter. So Twitter and Facebook are coordinating this.

I know this literally just happened because they RT’ed me an hour ago.

Something that surprised me was how comfortable the #LittleRock police were around these guys. The cops made them all confirm that they were carrying unloaded, but didn’t make them place it on ground to check etc.
Like this is is a selective screenshot from the video before. I understand it was momentary, but this guy inadvertently pointed a gun at a cop and nobody said anything about it.

This in contrast to police shootings over phones or “reaching” for nothing, etc.
Here are some of the #Antifa counter-demonstrators that showed up. There were probably 3-4x as many counter-demonstrators as the white nationalists, and as many cops as both sides combined.

A big theme for antifa was #ICE, who they see as the enforcement arm of a nazi agenda.

@Facebook “used us for crisis PR...They are more interested in making themselves look good & passing the buck…I strongly believe that they are spreading fake news on behalf of hostile foreign powers and authoritarian governments.” ~@brooklynmarie

HT @ChiefCovfefe
Facebook was pushing reporters to prioritize debunking misinformation that *affected Facebook advertisers*, which @brooklynmarie thought crossed a line: “You’re not doing journalism anymore. You’re doing #propaganda.”🤬

Another fact-checker who has long worked on the #Facebook partnership said they were demoralized, saying that #Facebook is “a terrible company and, on a personal level, I don’t want to have anything to do with them.”🔥

I'd just like to make this tweet so I can pin it & so people get a better understanding of me. I have Aspergers, I am classed as being very dependant, even though I live on my own. I have little understanding of sometimes very "simple" social interactions.
I try very hard to make friendships.. but I find it really difficult because any conversation is really draining on me and takes up most of my energy because even the smallest of misunderstandings can be physically painful for me.
Sometimes I say things that are viewed as offensive, I really don't mean them to be.. please don't think I'm doing it on purpose, it is an accident, although It's not an excuse, I ask if people could please just tell me that I said something rude and I will apologize.

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it
on my back porch and filled it
with seed. What a beauty of
a bird feeder it was, as I filled it
lovingly with seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds
taking advantage of the
continuous flow of free and
easily accessible food.
But then the birds started
building nests in the boards
of the patio, above the table,
and next to the barbecue.

Then came the crap. It was
everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table ...
everywhere!
Then some of the birds
turned mean. They would
dive bomb me and try to
peck me even though I had
fed them out of my own
pocket.

And others birds were
boisterous and loud. They
sat on the feeder and
squawked and screamed at
all hours of the day and night

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.
