#SocialMedia
On any social media, when autocrat collaborators don't get the win they wanted they: lie, use their lying bot armies to mislead, praise the one they fear the most who did win, the leader opposing their unjust power plays.

And
"As Travis Price said: ‘I learned that two people can come up with an idea, run with it, and it can do wonders. Finally, someone stood up for a weaker kid.’"

From the link
"What David and Travis did was simple yet effective.
They purchased and distributed fifty pink tank tops for other students to wear in solidarity. It showed the would-be bullies that the person being targeted did not stand alone. The bullying stopped."

#CaliforniaFires
I dedicate this rose to all of the firefighters who have fought, and are fighting the fires in California, be they national U.S.A., and international.

#CaliforniaFires 🙏
As I read about the continuing fires in California, to the loss of all life, property, businesses, my condolences.
My hopes and prayers are for the safety of every person, pets, and wildlife in harm's way, and the success of all authorities, and firefighters to end the fires.

2025 started out with stressful news around the world, and that continues.
Take time for you. Concentrate on the positive: your family, love for life, beauty that makes you happy, and brings you peace, solace, to view.

"Freedom" isn't a "right" to throw facts out the window and spread dangerous misinformation that can harm others on any topic.
It's the right to open windows and let non-biased facts in.
'Gold Medal' Grandiflora Rose by Bernard Spragg. NZ

What is a "non-biased fact"?
Facts are indisputably real e.g. an event took place.
"Biased facts" describe the event inaccurately.
"Non-biased facts" describe the event correctly.

🥂 Happy New Year 2025 🥂
May it be peaceful and safe.

Is there room for more, informative, social media websites?
Of course. No website has a monopoly on verified facts.
