35. He's not wrong if he stays, neither are you. If this is the venue you choose to fight the good fight

Good on you. We need fighters on all fronts and if you can hold your nose and fight on there, I'm good.

I start my day at DU, then Daily Kos, then I drifted over to Twitter-that was my first cup of coffee of the day. This is not "cancel culture" as they love to call it, to me this is consequence culture. How many of us took the fight to Parler, GETTRE, Gab, or Truth Social? It is no fun for the trolls to bully, harass, threaten, and try to intimidate in an echo chamber. They need to "own the libs."

In Musk's world "absolutist free speech" is having a "plantation" in his California plant, misogynist jokes, free use of the "n" word. I will not be a part of anything that involves that fascist lout. He will take something someone else built and use their vision to deprive millions of people (like Jeff Tiedrich said! Love that guy!) of their voice to elevate his and his ilk.
