If there is a woman in your life that you love: your spouse, mother, sister, aunt, niece, cousin or friend, then you need to vote this November like their life depends on that outcome. That their opinion and bodily autonomy matters. Because it does.
@JeffWhit3 I will be. Don't fret over me.
I am also just as cognizant that it doesn't matter and literally no one will miss me. I'm just having my say and moving on, even if I'm just screaming into the void.
I can no longer be a party to Musk's racism, antisemitism, bigotry and misogyny or feeding his algorithms and usage numbers and thereby, even indirectly, endorsing this site.
Alex Jones was the last straw.
Thank you to those that followed me.
Leaving at midnight. Best wishes!
@DrK3819 Except some poor workers are going to have to clean that shit up.
It sounds good in theory but it just creates a nasty mess that some poor person, that has no poor to change the situation, is going to have to spend hours cleaning up.
@Angry_Staffer I follow you and yep, today is my last day on Twitter. I will not be on this website with these people anymore, feeding Musk's algorithms and usage numbers.
As it is I'm deleting 10 or more bot accounts a day. That was never a thing before Musk.
@chrishq@AngelaBelcamino To me that's not the point. I don't see any of that nonsense. In my opinion continuing to feed Musk's algorithms and usage statistics you are indirectly endorsing the website and it's direction.
Yes, today is my last day on Twitter.
@AngelaBelcamino I'm leaving Twitter. I was willing to fight the good fight at first but I'm done.
If these racist, antisemitic bigoted misogynists want to sit around and circle jerk each other and tan their balls then have it.
@Jeffmw Again, the audacity of white privilege that you alone get to decide what is appropriate.
Republicans want big government to solve everything instead of just taking personal responsibility for what your child reads. Republicans are the party of big daddy government
@Jeffmw Some schools have pulled books just because they talk about friendship with someone that isn't white or has a picture of a rainbow in it.
It's about hate, racism and bigotry and birthing else.
@Jeffmw That isn't what all the banned books were about. Almost half the banned books only "crime" was that it was by a black author and/or about black history.
Plus the number doesn't even account for the books the schools pulled on their own because they think it might be challenged.
@Ba_Babouy@Jeffmw@stridinstrider The audacity to think that only your opinion matters and that I can just go somewhere else. Sometimes school libraries are the only libraries kids have access too and no all parents are rich and can drop $40 on books from Amazon especially when it was free at the library.
@Ba_Babouy@Jeffmw@stridinstrider No, we obviously don't. The mandate only requires one parent to complain. The parent doesn't even have to live in the school district. Doesn't even have to be a parent.
600 of ~1400 books banned in Florida were submitted by 2 people.

@Jeffmw@stridinstrider Why are your parental rights more important than mine?
How about mind your own damn business and I'll mind my own damn business?
For people that scream "freedom" and "small government" you sure seem willing to use big government to get your way.
@Ba_Babouy@Jeffmw@stridinstrider Why do you get to decide what MY CHILD reads at school?
What about my parental rights to decide for my child?
How about instead of making decisions for other people, make them for yourself and leave me and mine out of it.
@jdunwell "In the future, we may need to find ways to appropriately limit the number of displays"
Translation: we will block displays that don't agree with my religion in the future.
Common sense is becoming less common.
If you’re a university president who can’t say it’s wrong to call for genocide of Jews, you should be fired.
If you’re a US Senator — @LindseyGrahamSC — calling for the killing (“leveling”) of every Palestinian, you should resign.
