This is not just revisionist history, it's ignorant of reality. Activists didn't leave Twitter because they "thought they would be more effective" somewhere else, they left because Elon made it clear that he would *deliberately undermine their influence."
Why make shit up?
Why make shit up?
I’m not upset. I’m bemused that activists thought they would be more effective by giving up a platform where they had considerable influence and self segregating on a site almost no one else reads.
On Twitter I would click on a tweet about music or culture or whatever by someone explicitly or only peripherally political and, looking for witty & whimsical discourse, the top 5 replies would be blue-check red-assed chuds spewing their tedious sludge.

Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised
MTG: “.. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.”

I’m going to think about this every day until either Epstein or Trump is out of the news.
He must really want to explain that it doesn't mean what we all think it means, but he can't because it actually means something worse.

Shortly before Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges, his adviser sent him an email reporting that he had scrubbed through Trump's financial records. It's unclear why or how Epstein responded, but....interesting. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Looks more and more like this “interview” was a personal/political errand run by DAG to minimize Trump damage; no govt purpose.

Wolff, an unctuous fabulist, gave PR advice to the immeasurably vile Epstein, in which they both take for granted that Trump is a moron. And also vile!
I have some fresh questions about how Wolff got almost 18 months of unrestricted access to both the Trump campaign and, later, the West Wing to write his book (that curiously doesn't mention this at all to my knowledge)
