Pamela, Keeping Donald Trump off of Facebook just became an urgent matter of national security:1 | Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT | | Trump has been telling a number of people he's in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August (no that isn't how it works but simply sharing the information). | | | In the runup to the January 6th insurrection, Trump took advantage of his massive social media platforms to organize the violent protest. While Twitter has banned Trump permanently, Facebook is reportedly considering allowing him back on the platform. SIGN NOW: Tell Facebook to make Trump's ban permanent! As the New York Times' Maggie Haberman notes, this isn't happening in a vacuum. Trump's National Security Advisor Michael Flynn (who pled guilty to lying to the FBI about contacts with Russians while working for Trump's 2016 election) publicly endorsed a Myanmar-style coup in America.2 The Manhattan District Attorney has impaneled a Grand Jury into Trump's various financial crimes, with an indictment possible. In the runup to the 2020 election, Trump's campaign spent millions on Facebook ads designed to sow distrust in the election outcome, and stoke violence among his supporters. If he's allowed back on, Trump will certainly incite violence again. SIGN NOW: Tell Facebook to make Trump's ban permanent! Thanks, Mike Phelan Progress America 1 https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1399707794375426051?s=20 2 https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/31/politics/michael-flynn-qanon/index.html |
