Following the publication of the post "DEAR READERS — A Request To Help Spread The Word On Google Banning the Blog No Pasarán", I am — deeply — indebted to our ol' pal Damian Bennett who did just that — investing more than any other person that I know of — spending countless hours (days?) creating posters over at Behance in support of No Pasarán in the wake of the blog's outrageous treatment by Google. (Thanks for the Instalink, Sarah,and for the bump, Glenn.)
There are three posters at the moment, of which Beijing's Tien An Men Square one can be seen above. By all means, check out the two other posters.
While asking that you click the (blue) appreciation button in the right margin, Damian Bennett — who was instrumental in penning A Request To Help Spread The Word On Google Banning the Blog "No Pasarán" in the first place — adds the following suggestion:
Consider sending the Bēhance link (https://www.behance.net/gallery/232690889/Restore-No-Pasaran) for this post to 5 friends or acquaintances who might have an interest and, if appropriate, asking they pass it along. Kind of late 90s chain-letter fun. If you are on Truth Social, X (scil., Twitter), or FB, please consider a post about ¡NP!'s situation and include the Bēhance link.

Join the Fight to
“Restore No Pasarán"
to the Blogosphere
It has now been 3 months since the blog No Pasarán was unceremoniously removed by a member of @Google's #blogger crew, without the courtesy of giving the slightest explanation why.

I wondered what happened to No Pasaran. I "assumed" (I know) that it went elsewhere and I hadn't found it yet because I'd been pretty busy due to familial health issues.
On May 28, a popular conservative blog that has been on the internet for 21 years was suddenly and without warning deleted by Google. The blog No Pasarán was unceremoniously locked, banned, removed, and cancelled by a member of Google's Blogger crew, without the courtesy of giving the slightest explanation why.
Not just one single (allegedly) offending post reset to "draft status", mind you — as per Google's own rules — but between 14,000 and 15,000 posts (21 years' worth of patient writing and thorough reporting) removed and destroyed once and for all.
