The new administration has closed any actionable way to share comments with the White House...plus other important items.
The previously existing method of speaking to someone/leaving comments by phone has been shut down. People are now directed to a non-existent FB messenger. If anyone wants to leave a comment, they now have to post PUBLICLY on the White House FB page.
Meanwhile - the new president has decided to reverse Obama's action on the Dakota Access Pipeline - allowing it to go ahead. Further, the new administration has allowed the House to quietly CLOSE the investigation into the water crisis in Flint Michigan.
ADDITIONALLY, people posting on FB with pictures/memes of the First lady have had them REMOVED by FB. They do not go against the code of conduct or guidelines for appropriate posting, but they are being taken down.
THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

The American public is being silenced and not many people seem to care?

There is a form on whitehouse.gov where you can write a message. Not sure who it goes to or how it compares to what existed before but I did try it and successfully sent a few of my own thoughts.

This really is scary. He is like a dictator.
And it's def true. I saw the meme with Melanie smiling at him and then when he turned her face completely changed. When I went to show dh it was gone. And when I finally found it the video was black with sound. No pic. They are censoring anything negative they possibly can. This is not okay.
I voted 3rd party so I didn't like either choice. Both sides are becoming so unreasonable. I feel like I can't talk to anyone anymore. It always ends up politics and I'm not arguing with people about this.

Supposedly now you need to publicly post your grievances on the WH FB page.
So all his supporters can publicly tear you apart.

They just turned off the phone comments which one one probably listened to anyway. Send an email or write a letter. People need to stop making stories out of nothing.

I just sent my message directly on the whitehouse page, not on Facebook. If you go under participate and choose contact the whitehouse your can send a message privately. Of course I'm sure mine will call in dead ears but I sent it nonetheless.

Scary because they want you to email instead of leave a phone message? That is not censorship. Now if they cut off all communication that is a different story but they didn't. They changed their preferred method.
If you need to speak to someone, call your senator or congressman, then at least you may get a live person.

I found this and as of right now the clip is there. A friend posted the video on FB too and as of now it's still there. We'll see.
USDA and EPA are under gag orders now as well. This article is from Popular Science & explains the potential impact of these agencies not being allowed to communicate with the public.

I didn't make the connection but I had saved one or two things on fb yesterday to go back and read today and they were no longer in my saved items. Wonder if they were removed and by who.

Not everyone has access to email.

You can go to the public library and use their computers for free if you don't have one. That's what I used to do.

So when does it get scary? If ONE thing alone had happened maybe I'd agree. But these things are all happening one at a time and painting a big picture. Limiting access to share your concerns. Censoring what can be posted online. Restricting federal agencies' ability to tweet and communicate with the public. How about that when the twitter accounts were transferred, THOUSANDS of people who had unfollowed or NEVER followed the POTUS and FLOTUS and VP accounts were suddenly following them - even people who had actively BLOCKED those accounts.
Tell me. When is it okay to be scared?

So, honestly, you don't think this was done in any way to keep people from being able to give input. You honestly don't believe the administration that is putting gag orders on departments like the EPA is doing any of this for any reason other than, well, what reason could he have?
Come on! We know he will hide information, lie, cheat to get what he wants.
Sorry, but each day he does something just to chip away at our security in checks and balances. Guess this is what we have now. Hopefully the rest of the government has gotten at least some of the message with the protests ALL OVER THE COUNTRY the other day and maybe, just maybe they will realize they need to be concerned for their jobs.
