Oh boy. Strongly disagree with Tim Wise. Holy hell.
Twitter isn’t America. It’s a privately owned entity. Owned by a mothereffin’ boy monster that may boot you out on a whim.
How can smart people get this so wrong?
They see the fight for human dignity, human rights, as the same fight to keep a Hell Scape alive & profitable?
I read it as-
“The warden gives me a bullhorn and yard access so I can inform other prisoners just how awful they are.”
…but the gate is unlocked

@Anouk @LiberalLibrarian I can't see the link right now as I block off most social media for part of the workday, but I'll comment anyway. I have found that cishet white men, even those we might otherwise like and admire, simply do not understand how awful and toxic Twitter has been toward the rest of us and how many of us were already at our breaking point with it.

@CheekyGinger @Anouk @LiberalLibrarian

"Cishet white men" exactly.
They, in general, have never had to maneuver their own protection and safety.
Yep, I'm a Gen-X white person, but I'm a whole lot of at risk from bad actors and so are my kids.
I'm not going to contribute to the coffers of people who want them, and me, dead.
