FB is shadowbanding me since plandemic. Nobody is seeing my post on my page. None of Bobby’s post for sure. Don’t really have a screen shot of that.

Your experience is all too familiar, I'm afraid.

Same here. I don't know how to capture a shadow banned post, other than a screenshot showing NO likes, as with most of my Covid truth or Bobby posts. I occasionally get a message that I can't edit a post and I screenshot those because that shows the censorship; those posts are invisible to others, but visible to me though I am not able to edit them.

Yes, hardly anything I posted during covid was seen, besides the very few people who looked. Then I posted something about my Dad and a link to his obituary, and there were over 40 likes / reactions ...

Very sorry to hear about your Dad.

I used to listen to Heather Cox Richardson’s politics chat . She asked for questions before each chat, so I submitted - I think anyone who says my vote for RFKJR is a vote for Trump (which she has said), is telling a cruel lie.She called me out in that chat and made fun of me because I don’t have any followers.The next day, that episode was erased so nobody can review it and I have been blocked from the chat, to this day. No response from my many attempts to end the blockade.

Not surprised to hear this ... I used to read Rebecca Solnit's facebook page, who often quoted HCR. Solnit runs her page like a mob boss - everyone is in agreement. They are the Chosen Ones, the kind ones, doing their best to fight the hateful, divisive, authoritarian Ultimate Enemy - The right-wing, meanwhile with words and energy that's way more hateful, divisive, and authoritarian than actual people on the right, with no clue of the hypocrisy.

I was banned from Solnit's page in 2021 after I politely disagreed that each unvaccinated person is "another Typhoid Mary". They think they're standing up against tyranny and hate, meanwhile they trust media that is full of tyranny and hate. (And their attitudes and words are full of tyranny and hate .. not every left activist, but many.)

The left comes from the assumption that they are so much better than anything conservative, that any Dem is better than any Republican, even if imperfect ... At best, a few degrees closer to decency than Rebecca Solnit or HCR, is the perspective (or automatic not-really-thought), that some good people exist on the right-wing also, victims of misinformation of course, and when they realize how wrong they are they will join the left, because Left = Good. (Cringe to remember that I used to think that way ... )

Meanwhile, during covid it was only the right-wing media who actually listened to the doctors successfully curing the disease we were being told to fear 24/7. The left wonders why they're loosing support, but can't compute that. They're so in a media bubble they still believe the covid shots were, perhaps not perfectly safe, but worth the risk to help humanity, and they would have done better if more had trusted the #Science, stepped up and done the right thing for the collective, instead of being all about freedom.

(With no clue that there is zero scientific basis for any of this, and everything they were told is backwards. They're so sure of what they feel is the right thing to do, it doesn't compute that the world where the shots prevent transmission and do more good than harm is complete fiction).

As Kennedy says, people before politics, country before party. It's about integrity, not which color, red or blue. But I found the authoritarian hypocrisy of the left too awful to stomach anymore. Listening to Nicole Shanahan at the VP announcement was healing for the part of me that's been horrified at what the left has done to the world .... she reminded me that there IS good in those ideals, that caring for each other and the living earth can beautifully exist separate from the manipulation, authoritarianism, blind trust in psychopaths, and "sustainable development goals" which are trojan horses ... Trojan horses that speak all the words that soothe liberals into a trance ....

Yes, yes, yes... censorship (suppression) is real. It's been a while since I've documented any of it of my posts.

And the Supremes, just made it worse.

The Supreme Court justices ducked defending the 1st amendment

Just further proof that Americans don't have access to "Justice", it has an extremely high pricetag which working class Americans cannot afford to pay.

Agreed. This is a systemic problem that needs to change.

Yes, my friends just don’t see my posts on Facebook if it has anything to do with Kennedy but I noticed if I’m a favorite they see it! This is on my boyfriend’s page also. Not a lot I can do … have snuck some things without his name or my own creation - like picture we had with him, put it as my profile pic!! Very said so much censoring and control :) that’s why I love Kennedy and his bravery!! We need more like him 🙏🏼

I'm so afraid the wealthy people who own America will just have Mr. Robert Kennedy Jr. shot, just as they did to his father and his uncle, President John F. Kennedy!! Dear God, please protect this brave and honest man who is trying to help America regain its Democracy 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!

On the bright side, more and more people are waking up to the fact that censorship in the U.S. has grown out of control. It isn't as hidden as it was before now that we are all clearly witnessing the blatant and unlawful censorship of a legitimate presidential candidate. Now that the masses are waking up to it, perhaps there is a better chance of doing something to stop all this censorship nonsense.

I seem to have been cut off from the Beacon. Please see that I continue getting it, as I have been

since early spring. We very much need to hear Kennedy's position on Israel/Palestine right away!

If, as others are saying, he is only siding with Israel, many of us who have been supporting him will have to go find another candidate!
