Update: So after getting hate messages from people, including one who threatened to have “brown shirts” carry me off, and X choosing to do nothing about it, I’m ending my activity here. #Twexit
@ArtOfDialogue_ The numbers are there. 77 percent of Black men voted for Harris. We make up only 5 percent of the electorate. Where is the math that shows this is Black men's fault?
@naima@Teknontheou We still have Lady Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Ronald Isley, Smokey Robnson, Berry Gordy, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Leon Sylvers, there’s still a few left.
@brianstelter@washingtonpost With Bezos logic, a case can be made to not publish editorials or columns because they can all be seen as endorsements of kinds. He seems to be making the case for 5 Ws and an H, which is basic journalism, but after we get out of j-school journalists do learn nuance and context.
@delinthecity_@TristanSnell I think you need to do some homework on Twitter.
Puerto Ricans are PISSED and they are bing vocal They don’t need anyone to be angry for them.
Just look at the. Bhad Bunny tweet. That’s should tell you everything.
Wow, Twitter just barred my other account because I said something about that Trump comedian’s stupid racist joke. Isn’t this how the Nazis got started? @elonmusk? Then again, look where you grew up.
@TVietor08 Without actions like this people like Bezos will continue to dismantle the media and journalists will continue to lose their jobs at an even greater rate than they are now. So if you want to save newsroom jobs guys like him need to be put in check.
@GlennThrush@washingtonpost Nobody is punishing them. They likely feel the same way their readers do and need them to send a message to not only Bezos, but to the equity firms, hedge funds and billionaires who have wrecked American journalism.
@BradfordPearson Disagree. Staffers go in knowing that readers can abandon a paper.
This is a long term good thing for them and all journalists because it makes a serious statement against billionaires owning media.
@ElieNYC I agree with you but at the same time I wonder how many Republicans or Trump supporters are cancelling theirs. And if the majority of the readership winds up right-wing, what will WaPo's editorial model look like?
