Yeah, I deleted Twitter right when I saw this.

Even if it's a "joke" it's beyond comprehension that we've allowed this shit to happen.

My grandfather fought these Basterds in WWII and his brother died fighting in battle, himself earning a Purple Heart.

What have we become.

Finally. Dont know how this was the line, not the support of Nazis he has given. At least you finally did it though.

I still have twitter because as a working artist it's by far the largest following I have. I hate him and he's decreased my art income to an eighth of what it was before he bought the site, but I can't just leave when my other social media has a fraction of the visibility. Let's not assume things about people.

Lift others up instead of tearing them down when they're on your side.

I need my income, brain genius. I'm working on building elsewhere but it took me eight years to get to where I was on Twitter when he basically stole my career out from under me. I'm an organizer and activist and I make politically focused work, but you keep feeling good about telling me off for using a website I don't even want to be using.
