[J. D. Young @youngmindtweets]

Constitutional democracy won.

Reality based politics won.

For now.

Fighting for democracy is an ongoing process. So is fighting for reality based politics.

Keep fighting.

I am deactivating my Twitter today.

The old Twitter was a blast, this thing, not so much.

I have been on Twitter with 3 accounts over 12 years with @TurnIndianaBlue @ThePatrioticLib
and @youngmindtweets.

You can find me at https://t.co/vT1Cpusy4l

It has been a privilege.

If you want to understand the effect Musk running Twitter has on an individual psychological level, a broader social level, and politically, read this article by George Lakoff.

@MzSgtPepper Hi Pepper! I am leaving Twitter today.

Please consider joining me at https://t.co/yLu5GPhFFB. The Spouters there are so warm and welcoming, they remind of you 😀

https://t.co/vT1Cpusy4l

If we never connect again, I wanted you to know your kindness touched my soul.

[J. D. Young @youngmindtweets]

@thepattieboyd @camlitfest Hi Pattie! I am hoping to see you at Chicago Fest For Beatles Fans, if you are coming!

I wanted to follow you on Twitter until then, but I am leaving Twitter today. Please consider joining https://t.co/yLu5GPhFFB! You can market your book there!

I am at https://t.co/vT1Cpusy4l

[J. D. Young @youngmindtweets]

https://t.co/yLu5GPidv9 is what I hoped Twitter would be when I first signed up 12 years ago.

Spoutible is a warm and welcoming, troll free experience.

I am making more interactive human connections. More likes, more echoing of my posts.

[George Lakoff @GeorgeLakoff]

Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter gives him direct access to tens of millions of brains, and he is making a zealous public effort to change and control those brains by flooding them with hate and misinformation.

[George Lakoff @GeorgeLakoff]

He creating an echo chamber that forces everyone to engage the extreme conservative ideas in order to make such ideas seem mainstream. He’s shifting the discourse to favor election deniers, racists and insurrectionists …turning Twitter into a social media version of Fox.

[George Lakoff @GeorgeLakoff]

Musk has become Twitter’s dictator, changing the rules to suit his whims, banning accounts he doesn’t like with much of a rationale. He has vast control over what we hear/see on this powerful media platform. He’s a powerful new weapon in the conservative communications arsenal.

[George Lakoff @GeorgeLakoff]

But Twitter only has power because we — collectively — give it power. How we use this collective power to respond strategically to the ongoing conservative information war — a battle for the control of our brains — will determine the course of the future.

@SteveMartinToGo One more thing Steve!

I remember you saying one thing you can't improve on or do over again is "being new".

If you join https://t.co/yLu5GPhFFB, you will be new again!

One of E. Musky’s rockets just did a Twitter imitation by going through a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”.

@allinwithchris @chrislhayes Hey @chrislhayes, please join us on Spoutible!

You would find https://t.co/yLu5GPhFFB warm, welcoming and soul refreshing. A different troll free experience than Twitter.

Your intellect and perceptive insights would be welcomed there!

https://t.co/vT1Cpusy4l

[J. D. Young @youngmindtweets]

@allinwithchris @chrislhayes I posted this on Spoutible last night.

I then turned on @allinwithchris and was thrilled to see @chrislhayes making essentially the same point.

This point cannot be made strongly enough.

The culture of gun worship is killing us.
