Facebook bans noted progressive journalist

Mitchell Plitnick  So it appears that Doug Henwood, journalist, writer and the guy behind the Left Business Observer has been banned from Facebook. While it is not yet 100% clear why he was banned, it seems the triggering action was that he posted the article below, which I am posting as well in solidarity with Doug.
I will be posting a petition to Facebook that I understand from his spouse, Liza Featherstone, that some folks are putting together. Until then, please spread the word. Doug's is an important and critical left-wing voice on many matters, including quite a few that most on the left have very little knowledge, much less expertise, in. Given the way Mark Zuckerberg defends allowing a steady stream of lies and distortions form Trump and his cult, this double standard is especially egregious.

He probable said something critical of White People which FB interprets as 'hate speech'. I spent 120 days in FB jail since Feb 2019 for that offense.
