update of unfollowing POTUS and FLOTUS on twitter

I was just about to unfollow the @POTUS and @FLOTUS twitter accounts, but then I noticed that they had been changed to @POTUS4 and @FLOTUS44, respectively, and still had the Obamas as their profile pictures. Twitter still had me following them, despite the change in wording.

I also noticed that a brand-new @POTUS account had been created with fuckface as the profile picture. Twitter did not have me following this new account, despite the fact that I had previously been following President Obama's @POTUS account. I couldn't find the new @FLOTUS account.

Bottom line, it looks like everyone who previously unfollowed @POTUS and @FLOTUS in order to avoid following fuckface and wife should now follow @POTUS44 and @FLOTUS44.

and removed any links to Spanish and/or gay pages.

His administration immediately took over Obama’s websites, including whitehouse.gov, which now features a photo of a Trump rally, as well as the office’s official social media accounts. (Don’t worry, however—Obama’s digital footprints will be archived.)

Over at whitehouse.gov, Obama’s action plans for issues like climate change, health care, and civil rights immediately disappeared. The new administration also removed the whitehouse.com/espanol website created in 2012 in an effort to attract more Spanish-speaking voters. Similarly, the whitehouse.gov/lgbt website launched in 2011 to engage with LGBT communities disappeared, too.
