Unless you're doing the type of work you're doing ie covering the right like you have for over a decade, yeah, ppl should delete their accounts. But whose going report on this shit w/o some ppl like you covering it? lol
Nah, it's a nazi site and if we boycotting his shit that includes Twitter, except narrow cases. There is no saving Twitter, that was Elon's intended purpose. Unless your work, we need to get off there and make it abundantly clear regular ass ppl need not ne there either. This takes discipline.
Cool. I respect the work and see value of journos being on there, covering it for work. Not promoting your work but covering the far-right. If you like me a musician or jeweler/artist, designer so on, we can't be on there. I wouldn't be caught in a Tesla or a cybertruck, why'd be on that site?
The difference I’ve seen in Republicans & Democrats over the years….
Republicans want to tell you what you must believe!
Democrats think grown ass citizens can make their own choices!
Ran into a few on Reddit too. Like how are we supposed to know what garbage the right is being fed. It’s a walled garden, do these people not know that?
lol you got so mad about pretending to riff that you decided to reply to this twice over a series of several minutes. Not sure you have what it takes to save a joke
same type of person who bemoans "purity politics" when criticizing Dems are going to lecture you about which social media platforms you're allowed to be on lmao
Gotta say, I kinda agree with him. I know it’s not realistic to quit Twitter for everyone, but every second you’re using that website you’re supporting a Nazi who is dismantling the government. And you have a blue check so you’re monetized. It’s not great.
There's exceptions. For the common user, leaving and not going back is for the best, but for someone like Matt, having another voice to offer dissent, and an off ramp for some people into another stream of quality content is a good cause. They win by infiltrating our spaces, we can do the same.
You didn't criticize it through- that would have potentially been valuable. You lied about it, and now the discussion is materially stupider because of it.
Matt, as your attorney, I advise you to just keep posting through it. You of course did nothing wrong with completely misrepresenting Slotkin’s statement and even hinting at admitting it would make you a big fat loser. Look at Trump. Look at how he handles these situations. Keep mirroring that.
Appreciate your work Matt. I work in the criminal justice system, does not mean my preference is to go into gaols, police cells and courts, but that's the game.
It’s funny because it invents an insidious straw man to justify the production of free work for the world’s richest man in service of white supremacy. Laughing so hard right now.
I criticize people who stay on Twitter when they refuse to engage anywhere else. That's why you're different and that's why people are coming after you.
I feel like you're right about being on Twitter, but maybe people are a bit worried. Like don't you cut content with openly racist people like Vaush? Folks may just think you are looking for places to drop tactical racial slurs.
I had someone scold me once in such a wild way I couldn't tell if it was honest or satire. It was hard to believe anyone could be so preachy, so I looked at their profile and timeline, and if it was satire, man were they committed to the bit.
I was scolded just a few days ago for saying that I had fond memories of growing up in the 80s, because I guess I should have been out picketing Reagan for not addressing the AIDS crisis when I was 9.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before and I don’t think it’s possible to type it out that way and have good takes. Ha! Ha! Ha! on the other hand can only come with good takes
This is right up there with the whole "you criticize capitalism but then participate in it, so what's up with that?", or the whole "you say America has all these problems and yet you continue living here, what's up with THAT?"
Like f*ck off, you're not wise, you're not making a point, just stop.
I’m not about to scold anyone for this type of thing, but honest to god if the excuse is always “well there are a lot of people still doing it” to justify breaking boycotts/doing business with fascists, then nothing will change
yeah but by being there and watching ads and posting content that begets other pple watching ads..it’s as bad or worse than buying a tesla
there are people there to reach, but the aim should be encouraging them away frm that platform. high prfile people staying on X means more reglar folks will too

there are a lot of people outside of politics on Twitter.
a lot.
i do not think you should let a mainstream platform just get filled up with right wing content so thats all those people see

Now, I need your show to follow a lost of content rules (1/17)...

*I post on Bluesky before I start howling at my gardener that I have ICE's number on speed dial if he doesn't trim those Azalea's.*
1. If you're paying for a blue check of shame, then yeah I can see the point.
2. If you're NOT using an ad-blocker on Twitter, even if it's ONLY for Twitter, then yeah, that's a good point too.
These people love money, so do all you can to deny it to them.
The things people prioritize never cease to amaze me…
✌🏻
Like f*ck off, you're not wise, you're not making a point, just stop.
I don't envy journalists one bit these days, but I despise any of them that decide to roll over and accept their fates. 👍
this line of thought just doesn't work with a platform. i'm not buying a Tesla.

The bluesky meatball brigade strikes again.
The fact I just watched Jet Li’s The One had no influence on this post
(As I do!)
I for one am very happy that you shout out the stupidity on multiple platforms!🏳️🌈💙🍌
