The event associated with the Kenosha Guard page, however, was flagged to Facebook at least 455 times after its creation, according to an internal report viewed by BuzzFeed News, and had been cleared by four moderators, all of whom deemed it “non-violating.” The page and event were eventually removed from the platform on Wednesday — several hours after the shooting.

The Passing of Chadwick Boseman

My Soul In A Piece Of Paper

2020 has been a really brutal year, it’s been one death after the other. My heart is so heavy today, I woke to such terrible news of the passing of “Black Panther”. Apparently he was the “ONLY CHOICE” for that character and I agree… He was indeed a black panther!

That is a dangerously decadent form of government.
