Friend,

Donald Trump’s accounts on Facebook and Instagram were suspended the day after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, an attack he helped spark — and has continued to praise.

Here’s the unbelievable twist: Trump is off Facebook, but his ads are not.

HAPPENING NOW: Join us for a Free Press Facebook Live discussion about the ad loophole that Trump is taking advantage of on Facebook.

We’re live talking with Rose Lang-Maso of Free Press and Yosef Getachew of Common Cause about the “Trump Ad Loophole” on Facebook, which has allowed the Team Trump PAC to spend $220K on ads that keep Trump’s toxic rhetoric alive — despite his two-year ban from the platform. Facebook is profiting from these ads, which the PAC has used to raise money for Trump and invite people to his rallies.

Why are powerful politicians like Trump exempt from playing by the same rules as the rest of us? What’s at stake? And what can we do to save our democracy? Join us live and submit your questions in the comments.

Free Press Live airs every Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. ET via facebook.com/freepress. Turn on your live notifications now so you don’t miss what’s new in the world of media, tech and human rights.

Hope to see you online,

Collette and the rest of the Free Press Facebook Live team
