IDEA: Stand up to him on him on Twitter! [View all]

I've recently read two articles that prompted an idea. One was about how the new guy (can't type his name) used Twitter to bully a young woman who questioned him at a rally. The other is a Boston Globe article asking Who Will Stand Up to the person who shall not be named.

This got me thinking. Don't all Tweets that include his Twitter handle show up on his feed in some way? I'm not a tweeter, yet, so don't know. If @real... is in the tweet, does he see it, assuming he's looking?

Why don't we all sign up for Twitter and start standing up to him on the bully platform he prefers? Inundate him with peace, love, truth, challenges, and resistance. If the millions of people who follow him see constructive, intelligent challenges and his reaction to them, maybe it's a good thing. The challenges need to be respectful and truthful.

I've just created a Twitter account and am going to try it. If I disappear, you'll know what happened.
Feedback, please...
