I can't even contact support without being logged in. If I try to verify my identity again, it says I've already submitted a request and to try again later. The error I took a screenshot of says 48 hours - which has passed. As a paid customer currently unemployed, this is beyond frustrating.
Anybody know how I could get hold of LinkedIn support? I'm a Premium subscriber but my account has been "temporarily restricted as a precaution" for several days. 2 days ago I went through the "Verify your identity" process but nothing has changed, no word.

"No American can be proud of a government that carries out change in this way," the group's president wrote in a searing statement.
Did you like the movie? I could battling keep my wires open, I was fighting sleep so hard. I gave it a solid C.
I loved Smallville! Tom Welling was/is so dreamy...
NYT headline about Trump pausing PEPFAR disbursements
I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.
A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.
JUST IN: President Trump has reportedly signed an executive order targeting trans servicemembers.
Everyone who meets our military’s rigorous standards should be able to serve, and thousands of current trans servicemembers have already more than proven themselves. We’ll update you as we learn more.
Breaking News: Lambda Legal and HRC Pledge Quick Action Against Trump Administration’s Renewed Transgender Military Service Ban. Silhouettes of two individuals in military uniforms stand saluting against a twilight sky background.
A quote from Sasha Buchert (she/her), Lambda Legal Counsel and Nonbinary & Trans Rights Project Director, displayed in a speech bubble with a soft gradient background of pink and blue tones. The text reads: 'We have been here before and seven years ago successfully blocked the earlier administration’s effort to prevent patriotic, talented Americans from serving their country. Not only is such a move cruel, it compromises the safety and security of our country and is particularly dangerous and wrong. As we promised then, so do we now: we will sue to block this action.'
🚨 BREAKING: Lambda Legal and @hrc.org will challenge the Trump administration's renewed transgender military service ban.
Thousands of trans service members have been serving openly and courageously for years.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.
Thank you, I'm getting it on my calendar!
Just to clarify.... should that be 3rd TUESDAY of every month, or are the dates above wrong?
WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw
Trump just withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization.
The US is now the only country in the world besides Liechtenstein to not be a member of the organization.
Anti-DEI initiatives are based on fear of "the other," greed because somebody else might get more than you, and/or ignorance. What a shame!!
Trump puts federal DEI staff on leave www.npr.org/2025/01/22/n...
Yesterday was filled with anxiety, grief, doom, and impending danger.
Today, I dipped my toe into some news and saw Trump is scapegoating the World Health Organization, prioritizing the $ over our climate, and pardoning insurrectionist rioters.
The worst part is that none of this is a surprise.
The article says the group is "led by surviving original member Victor Willis," who is also the one trying to claim the song "YMCA" is not a gay anthem.
The only surprise here for me is the Village People. Separate music from politics?! Sorry, music can and often is very political, and anyone supporting this felon will not have my support.
Here’s everyone performing at the presidential inauguration www.npr.org/2025/01/15/g...
Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.
I've had no problem abandoning Twitter, but the thing I'm going to miss the most about leaving Facebook is the events. How does everyone know what's going on in the community without facebook events?
It worked!
You bet! BTW I think it might be somebody's birthday, right? I hope you've had a good one!!
@ninawest.bsky.social I absolutely loved seeing you in Dallas last night! I wish I could have gotten a pic with you!
Linux quick tip I picked up today - set an alarm from the command line. This requires having VLC installed, and having a Star Trek red alert klaxon mp3 file:
`sleep 15m && vlc RedAlertKlaxon.mp3`
