It's has to come down to this for Twitter to do anything.
They know for now that none of us are leaving.
That truthfully, we are not standing up for our own beliefs... in numbers that matter to them.
Perhaps it's time for a serious movement?
What if the fair-minded with massive followings - celebrities, politicians,
business mavens, etc - left Twitter en masse?

Trump is counting on good people to not organize.
