It took a while, but I saved a list of everyone I was following. Make an account on a platform not run by white supremacists, traitors to the United States, or agents of the Kremlin (in other words, Republicans), and I'll try to find you there

Twitter is dead.

I am unfollowing everyone, logging out, and deleting the app from my phone. I encourage you to do the same.

It's money laundering for organized crime, Russian oligarchs, North Korea, and terrorists--with the lovely side effect of making the planet uninhabitable. There's no future in that.
