Today I have had to UNfollow around 10 sites feeding me the extreme MAGA shit

that is never on my feed. They are throwing out this shit like I am following and has really been going on since they got in. I have had to unfollow a number. But today was particularly high. And FB isn't good, the only one I have for family and friends, I am keeping it. Mostly I am conscious about who I use. Never ever Twitter, since musk bought it.

Absolute BS on Zelensky, who started that war, etc. I reported it as misinformation and political on what is supposed to be neighborhood news.
