Sharing these in the first comment of a post instead as the main post seems to work. For main post I put something like “the author’s work is being censored to I’m posting the link this way” then pasting the link in first comment box.

The link to this post appears to be working on Facebook now, at least my two posts in the last 15 minutes remain up as we speak. Thank you for advocating for this!

And Facebook/Meta has now removed my AED share from 8.30.23. "This post goes against our Community Standards on cybersecurity."

Tried to share this on FB and it was automatically rejected 🙄 of course. Thank you for doing the good work.

I watched the movie Bad Faith. It was so well done and disturbing 😳

I tried to post this to the subreddit "Defeat Project 2025" and got an auto warning from Reddit saying I'm violating a rule about targeting people and they removed the post.

> Under the Radar: Republicans have already started their attacks on birth control for teenagers, and Project 2025 gives us a disturbing hint at what might come next. In the section about abortion medication, the document warns about the “potential impacts of the hormone-blocking regimen on the developing bodies of adolescent girls.” This is an argument I suspect we’re going to see used against contraception as well. Just as conservatives claim gender-affirming care shouldn’t be given to minors, they’ll say the same about hormonal birth control.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Transgender rights and Abortion rights are not separate issues, they're not similar issues, they're the *exact same issue* and that is bodily autonomy. The people trying to erase trans people out of existence are the same people trying to make sure cisgender women are property.

People are so hopeful with Kamala, but we can’t be complacent, Trump could still win the Presidency. Electing Democrats to all the other offices is critical, particularly for abortion rights. We need undecided and Independent voters to vote Democratic, particularly in swing states.

Right now is a critical time in the campaigns.

At the Federal level. we need to keep the Senate Blue. Don’t forget State Congresses, governors - and judges are sometimes elected. States are particularly important in protecting abortion rights and voter rights if Trump is re-elected. Visit app.oath.vote - they identify the most crucial races where your donations can make a difference. We can only vote where we live, but we can donate money nationwide - and we can also email our friends around the country.

Who will join me in taking action? If everybody here will email this info to 20 people nationwide, it will make an impact.

I shared (FB) the explainer and had it removed immediately. I then posted a note about FB removing facts about abortion and shared a link to the AED Substack and told everyone to start following Jessica Valenti. I protested the FB removal and requested further review.

Thank you!

What is the best way to share this? Will FB or Insta take it down? Thoughts?

I can't say if FB or Insta will take it down. Their policies are a mystery to me...

Forced birther alert! Vance, the weird man going after childless people again. What he is implicitly saying is that white people are not having enough children and he fears that and will go to any length to take your freedom away in his dangerously misguided pursuit. Instead of coming up with policies to help women pursue their dreams and also have children (which is what the Democrats try to do), he is going back in time to saddle women with substandard marriage, poverty, and subjugation. We are not going back.

@KamalaHQ

Unearthed video: JD Vance says he and Trump will “go to war against” childless people, who he calls “sad, lonely, and pathetic”: “They should feel like their life is inadequate”

This article is SO fantastic. Thank you. I hope that someone who is good with short videos and graphics could take the high level summary points and create a video for TikTok. Young women across America need to learn about this. How do we get the info to them? Of course all women need to know. But I feel that we need a version of this that is in video and graphic form. Anyone? Who is doing this? Jessica and her team did such a great job here---let's take it to the masses.

Yup. The META team deleted this link within 1 minute after I posted it. And I am pissed off.

Project 2025 can stand on its own. Just the fact its a self-described recipe for "the NEXT conservative presidency" should make it poison for the next seven presidential elections.

DeSANTIS (2028): I had NOTHING to do with Project 2025!!

VOTERS: Doesn't matter. We STILL don't want it.

Suddenly all of the blog posts by Diane Ravitch - a highly respected commentator on public education issues - posting all or part of a SUBSTACK piece is being pushed by Google into spam mail. I have had to go into Gmail app, look for Spam folder and then report as “not spam” to get it released into my gmail emails. The blog posts are highlighted in red, marked as “reported dangerous to open”. I still unmarked them from spam folder but not in the usual way. Something is really amiss.

Shared this on Facebook and was informed my post was removed for being misleading. Asking for a review. Anyone else have this problem?

Shaking with anger and anguish after reading this. Monstrous policies without any humanity!
