ALT Friends, since Musk’s takeover of Twitter, I’ve considered leaving this platform.  I’ve stayed to be supportive of the other agitators on here who keep fighting the good fight. Unfortunately, vulnerable and marginalized people are subject to more ever-more abuse on the platform, making Twitter less of a democratic space for dialogue and positive social change. With this week’s events, acutely, I feel I can no longer participate on an authoritarian-loving platform. Please join me in leaving Twitter and heading over to Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads.  Mastodon: journa.host/@jimhightower Bluesky: @jimhightower.bsky.social Threads: @jimhightowertx
