RT @gaywonk: That being said, I'm not mad at Crowder. There will always be monsters in the world. I'm fucking pissed at @YouTube, which claims to support its LGBT creators, and has explicit policies against harassment and bullying: https://t.co/K9XJGAP7Xp https://t.co/4GUfTDuOXS
RT @JakeLaperruque: There’s no excuse for @YouTube to keep these videos up - they clearly violate the site’s terms. The only explanations are unacceptable incompetence or unacceptable greed for ad money built on bigotry https://t.co/Uy9URisAbO
RT @gaywonk: Harassment isn't siloed, either. Every time he makes one of these videos, his fans flood the comments on the original Vox video. So a piece I spent 4 weeks working on is drowning in homophobic and abusive comments and downvotes. Other Vox fans see it. It's humiliating.
RT @gaywonk: YouTube does not give a fuck about queer creators. YouTube does not give a fuck about marginalized creators. YouTube does not give a fuck about diversity or inclusion. YouTube wants clicks. YouTube wants clicks. YouTube wants clicks.
RT @gaywonk: Again, the problem isn't Crowder. There will always be fucking assholes trying to get attention by being bigots. The problem is that @YouTube is designed to give those assholes a megaphone, push new followers in their directions, and keep them listening. It's a weapon.
RT @gaywonk: Anyway, if you want to help, I guess you can go to this dude's videos and flag them? But @YouTube isn't going to do anything, because YouTube does not give a fuck about queer creators. It cares about "engagement," and homophobic/racist harassment is VERY "engaging."
RT @gaywonk: This isn't about "silencing conservatives." I don't give a flying fuck if conservatives on YouTube disagree with me. But by refusing to enforce its anti-harassment policy, YouTube is helping incredibly powerful cyberbullies organize and target people they disagree with.
RT @gaywonk: My family sees this shit. I've had to explain to my much younger sister what the fuck a Steven Crowder is, and ask my siblings not to respond. Its exhausting. I wish @YouTube gave enough of a shit to stop its platform from becoming a fucking playground for assholes.
RT @gaywonk: Which is all to say: I work my fucking ass off to create smart, thorough, engaging content for @YouTube, a company that claims to give a shit about LGBT creators. And its miserable to have that same company helping facilitate a truly mind melting amount of direct harassment.
RT @gaywonk: This has been going on for years, and I've tried to flag this shit on several occasions. But YouTube is never going to actually enforce its policies. Because Crowder has 3 million YouTube subscribers, and enforcing their rules would get them accused on anti-conservative bias.
RT @gaywonk: That being said, I'm not mad at Crowder. There will always be monsters in the world. I'm fucking pissed at @YouTube, which claims to support its LGBT creators, and has explicit policies against harassment and bullying: https://t.co/K9XJGAP7Xp https://t.co/4GUfTDuOXS

If you want to defeat Trump, you choose the Democratic nominee who is supporting, and is being supported by, these movements. Choosing a candidate who is at odds with them, and for some candidates, that means being at odds with each of them, would be a disaster. Certain defeat. https://t.co/Fgj0WPMuil
Imagine this... The nation CURRENTLY has active movements for A Green New Deal A $15 minimum wage Medicare For All The end to never-ending wars Major justice reforms Comprehensive immigration reform IMAGINE choosing the nominee for President who doesn't support those things.
When I study what happened this weekend around Europe, mainstream, moderate politicians lost in a MAJOR way. It's not what people want. And without fail, all over Europe, people rejected middle of the road parties and middle of the road politicians. It's historic.
In 2016, more youth voters voted for @BernieSanders than Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump COMBINED. Bernie was far and away the preferred choice of young voters. But Democrats, ignoring that, instead went with the moderate establishment candidate. And Trump won 30 states. 30!
I think the single largest mistake Democratic voters could make would be to choose a nominee that is not liked by young people. And I don't just mean teenagers, but voters 18-35. In 2008, Obama was the choice of the youth, and young people brought their energy to his campaign.

RT @MuhammadLila: With the #Raptors about to hit the global stage, I’m going to share a story about what makes Toronto, and Canada, so special. It’s about a guy you’re going to be seeing a whole lot of. A Thread. [Hint: It's about racism, sports, and why you'll end up cheering for π]

RT @theappeal: Jerome Johnson served 30 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. Now, in a federal civil rights lawsuit, he claims the Baltimore police framed him & that he's not the only victim of a police department with a "win at all costs" approach to policing. https://t.co/Mi0Q8h6dKl
RT @theappeal: The Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) - the union representing police officers, sergeants & lieutenants of the Baltimore Police Department - tweeted this last night We look at some cases involving a police department known for its brutality & corruption. https://t.co/q72nvXywgy

RT @oliviawilde: Anyone out there saving @Booksmart for another day, consider making that day TODAY. We are getting creamed by the big dogs out there and need your support. Don’t give studios an excuse not to green-light movies made by and about women. πͺ❤️πͺ

RT @thisisrobsmith: My man. You fail to solve 40% of homicides in Houston while spending resources arresting people for possessing pot. If you are looking for public officials to blame for not taking safety seriously, look in the mirror. https://t.co/IzYAJUxfLG
RT @theappeal: Jerry Parker, a mentally ill 54-year-old veteran, needed help when booked into jail. Instead, guards pepper sprayed him, stripped him naked, took him to a shower; then, surrounding him, beat him, stomped on him, hogtied & tased him. That night, he died. https://t.co/UA8oGfCCxR
RT @AriRabinHavt: Politico style book: “needed more context” = the previous tweet contained an anti Semitic trope. The current tweet contains a doctored photo of Bernie in front of a literal money tree and a house that is not his. Because that is better? https://t.co/T43RCVCoki https://t.co/N8LfxgbiID
RT @Pappiness: The House voted 247 to 175 to end military assistance to Saudi Arabia. The Senate voted 54 to 46 to end military assistance to Saudi Arabia. Trump just sold 8 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia. Congratulations, America. The system is broken.
RT @BernieSanders: If we could find over a trillion dollars to bail out Wall Street, we can damn well afford to protect the pensions of Americans. If I am elected president, I will impose an immediate moratorium on any future pension cuts and I will reverse the pension cuts that have been approved. https://t.co/k8fxmSdYFk

RT @BernieSanders: Anyone who understands the history of American foreign policy knows that, over the years, many of our wars and military interventions were based on lies and deceptions coming from the White House. We must never allow that to happen again. https://t.co/zbI8L9Ksxw

RT @AOC: Notice the people willing to explain this away, yet when Ilhan’s words are taken out of context, they are the 1st to jump on her. Look at how these accusations are selectively enforced on the left, esp when it’s the *alt-right* actually committing antisemitic violence in the US.
