This shit isn't funny. This legitimately is how critical decisions, affecting you and me, are being made by this administration. If you've been silent about this so far, it's time for all of us (Dems, Repubs, Indies and non-political) to become loud about this nonsense!

"It was later revealed that one of the ‘experts’ Navarro quoted in Death by China, a certain Ron Vara, had been completely made up by the author.

In the book, Vara is quoted as saying: “Only the Chinese can turn a leather sofa into an acid bath, a baby crib into a lethal weapon, and a cellphone battery into heart-piercing shrapnel.”

It was revealed by journalist Tom Bartlett in 2019 that Ron Vara is a completely fabricated person, who Navarro came up with because it was an anagram of his own name."

After months of heming and hawing then watching this John Oliver episode I was finally pushed over the edge and cancelled my Instagram acct. The only reason I had an account was because other family members had accts there. Last night my wife deleted her acct. 😊 Now if 2B+ others did the same and deleted their Fakebook accounts… On and on.
Only you can prevent falsehoods.

it took me at least a year or so before I got interested in Twitter, longer than that with #Facebook. I joined #Facebook only because I had family also on there, plus other blind people that I knew, but it turned into more of a picture fest than anything, then the sensorship over silly stuff began over there, so I left #FakeBook. It took me a couple years to catch on to #Mastodon. My fave Social Network was #LiveJournal, especially for blogging.
