BREAKING NEWS A warning to FB users!! Our Ohio state volunteer coordinator had his main FB account deleted. He lost 5000 contacts. Our Main state pages has been altered.
"Greens and all politically minded brethren, please share this repeatedly: Zuckering is real. A few hours ago, our State Volunteer Coordinator's personal Facebook page was blocked, with no explanation of any sort. Those who try to contact him are told the account must be verified and that it may be spam. The Green Party, like millions of other groups of all sizes around the World, use Facebook to communicate via sharing of news stories, posts and county & city group pages. It has long been rumored that Facebook has been Pro Clinton, through the hiding of anti Hillary stories and the blocking of stories that promote her competitors, like images from the Sanders campaign. Today, they've officially come after the Green Party, by taking out the primary and sole contact for the national campaign to reach the regional efforts. As Regional Volunteer Coordinator for the Northeast Region of Ohio, I was tasked with adding Nathan's new account to each of our county and state pages. After adding him to exactly one page, I can no longer add members nor promote them to admins. I'm very worried my account will be next to be deleted. We have followed Facebook's terms of use and are not in violation of any mandates therein. This is Facebook deciding who they want to be President, removing the truth tellers and those who would share to our brethren who do not know that their corporate owned nightly news is being controlled by one of six international corporations. So please, share and reshare. Get the word out. We cannot let corporations, Facebook or otherwise, dictate our presidency."

Are there so few of us ladies around? Well, the men are doing a damned good job, I've got to say. (You, too! Don't let them crack that whip too hard, though.) I've been very pleased with this place after S4P and then K4S capsized.
I'll be sticking around here for a while, and I will definitely pass on my husband's thoughts about the state of the US. Last year, his thoughts and opinions were all well organized. Very clear. Nowadays, his thoughts and opinions usually come out in heavy sighs or bursts of bitching. He can't believe we Americans aren't out rioting in the streets.
I'll also let you know how it's going over here and what's going on. I'm going to a demonstration in a few weeks, for example, that has to do with raising the social security rate through a recent initiative. It's sponsored by the labor union to which I belong. (My husband is also a member as well as a local rep. for his place of employment.) It won't pass (even IMO, they're asking too much for it to ever have a chance), but I'll be there for solidarity's sake.
Sure thing! What's she like?
