@elonmusk obviously cares more about reinstating @DonaldJTrumpJr than making Twitter a safe for all… I’m deactivating my account. Tomorrow evening. I can’t watch us go back in time… I urge everyone to think about it.
Shout out to all the workers at Twitter. You all built a vital place for connection and deserved so much better.
Millions of people appreciate the space you built and the hard work that went into it. Thank you 💙
Dear @elonmusk I stormed Twitter Hq a decade ago and demanded to be verified. I was escorted out by police.I vowed never to be verified after that day. I’ve done okay without the checkmark. I guess what I’m asking is who cares about verification unless you got a tiny weeny.
Incredibly heart-breaking read but a necessary one. Our actions or lack thereof, have real-life consequences. A statement from Isaiah Meyer-Crothers in his own words sent to Akim Aliu, HDA Chair, on November 8, 2022 which he asked the HDA to release publicly on his behalf.
Lois Curtis was a disability rights champion, winning the landmark Supreme Court case, Olmstead vs. L.C., that gave people with disabilities the right to be served in their community.
We honor her by continuing her fight to strengthen the rights of people with disabilities.
To independent-minded voters:
Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

Twitter shut its operations in Ireland today, putting thousands of people out of work with no notice. Oops. Elon broke the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977–2015. And the thing about Ireland…they ain’t the United States. They don’t slobber all over people for just being rich. Ugly.
This is sad news, especially for blind and disabled people who depend on the accessibility of Twitter to connect with the world and build communities. Huge thank you to Gerard’s team for all their work over the years!
Dear @TwitterA11y -Just in case we wake up tomorrow and you’re not here- Thank you for all you’ve done to make Twitter more accessible. Thx for your transparency in sharing accomplishments and what’s still on the roadmap. Thx for the alt text reminder and lots more. #a11y
Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.
Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.
