We’re in the “she’s Black and talks about race/gender and the scourges of White supremacy in America” aka INTENSE category, so @TwitterSupport decided Y’ALL don’t need or deserve to see what we have to SAY #onhere. 🔥💣💅🏾
Nah, this pre-dates the new CEO. It started somewhere between ‘18-20 for me. My follow count had a pretty precipitous rise well into the 1st year of the DT apocalypse but by ‘18 there was a very obvious pause & I started noticing the “unfollow on my behalf w/out consent” fuckery.
But in complete fairness, I haven’t 100% hated it. 🙃🤭 Despite the subject matter of my content, I really do encounter relatively few MAGA or alt-left trolls and bots. It’s a double edged sword because I want y’all to see my tweets too but I also want to do it in PEACE. 🤷🏾♀️
The REAL solution is they need to #BanTheKlan, but they won’t/can’t do it because anyone who identifies as GOP/MAGA or extremist alt left would have to be deported from the platform. Welp. 🥴💅🏾
At this point I want them to apologize to me/us. Y’all know this is LOUD & WRONG, @Twitter! Shame on you, we rebuke it in the name of the 1st amendment & it’s NOT cute that you’ve created SEPARATE & UNEQUAL Jim Crow conditions #onhere. I dare you to suspend me for telling you. 🔥
While I’m at it, cc @jack.
What gives, *my* dude? 🤷🏾♀️
Like, is Jack seeing my tweets that he followed me to see, or NAH? #JustSayin#FreePJ 🔥💣🚀
Jack’s been following me since at least 2016 (that I know of), that’s why I’m legit curious to know if he’s been seeing my tweets or not?! 🧐 He could be just like y’all, wanting the 🔥 and 💣 but just LOST and TURNED OUT like the rest of the TANK. #Gasp 😱🤭 #FixItJesus 🙏🏾
I don’t even think they’re letting y’all see this thread. The SHADE and FUCKERY of it ALL on the “last” day of 2021. 😒 Let’s go, 2022. #HNY
Come on, MAN. 🙄😒 👀’M tHe hUMan BEing and I’m INTENSE at the same time. Try intersectionality, Twitter. It won’t bite you and it’s much better than unleashing a whole pandemic worth of COVID disinformation & a Russian/Klan/GOP/extremist alt-left cyberattack on America & the 🌎.

I see a lot of folk side-eyeing Obama for laying low so far in this moment & while I totally understand it, I also think there’s a very strong possibility that amidst their brother to brother deliberations he determined it’s best for Joe the 🐐 to captain the ship to the bridge.
Like, just given the whole context of controversy & fervor for a contested convention rather than a “coronation”, plus the fact that it’d easily be viewed as the 1st Black POTUS exerting undue pressure to nominate a 2nd Black POTUS/1st woman POTUS. He’s still the no drama guy.
The few days/weeks of wait time provide much needed cover for what would most assuredly be yet another controversy, poutrage and Whitelash over an “unfair DEI process” (🙄) that NONE of us can afford to distract us over the next 3 months of crunch time before the election.
They said Joe wasn’t a strong enough man to debate Trump & pushed him out. Now they’ll get to see a strong enough woman *prosecute* the ENTIRE case against Trump & drag *him* out for good. Justice. Is. On. The. Ballot. That’s what y’all wanted, that’s what you’ll get. #Harris2024
One thing about the narcissist psyche is it *can’t fucking stand* not being the center of attention. So much so that Trump’s exploitation of the shooting at his Klan rally is now the 2nd time he’s frantically spun controversy & chaos to reposition himself in the media spotlight.
IOW, Trump’s so hungry for attention/ faint praise that he’s willing to take the risk of diverting 👀 away from 2-week wall to wall coverage of Biden’s age/political viability (that per conventional wisdom served Trump well) to sensationalize a mass shooting by a Republican perp.
Though he’s constantly clamoring for the spotlight/manipulating the MSM, I’m counting this as the 2nd time in reference to how he contends w/Biden stealing his shine on the campaign trail. In ‘19 he committed an impeachable offense b/c he couldn’t abide Joe’s frontrunner status.
The story of the Trump rally shooting isn’t the prospect of “sympathy votes” or MAGA’s perennial martyrdom of Trump, it’s that the gun violence visited upon America by the NRA/GOP has now been directly visited upon Trump/MAGA too. They’ve inevitably victimized their own selves.
When you stoke domestic terrorism you don’t get to feign shock, awe and martyrdom when domestic terrorism eventually comes for you. The call is coming from inside the GOP’s house.
Bitter fruits have come home to roost. Trump/the GOP’s outright refusal to treat White domestic terrorism & guns as an existential threat to public health/safety is responsible for lowering the defenses of the law enforcement agencies who didn’t prevent the Trump rally shooting.
Maybe it’s b/c Kamala was my 1st choice in ‘20, but the “Biden isn’t being the bridge he said he’d be” gripe is so absurd. The millisecond he announced her as his choice for VP, I had ALL the confirmation I needed that Biden was a bridge to Kamala. Misogynoir kills brain cells.
The bridge is staring you in your face but you’re pretending it’s not there because it eventually leads to a Black woman being your POTUS one day. We see you.
You know who else sees you? Joe Robinette Dark Brandon Biden, that’s who. Matter of fact, he saw the fuckery of today from YEARS away and hopped off of the sidelines to be the bridge before the alt-left, White “moderates” and the MSM blew up the whole Democratic foundation.
It’s not so much that the “cut-and-runs” don’t trust Biden/Harris in 2024, it’s that they didn’t (still don’t) trust the *predominantly Black woman base of the Democratic Party* who ultimately chose BOTH halves of the winning 2020 ticket. They never wanted US to be the deciders.
These are the same mostly White “moderate” pundits & electeds who thought Obama should be primaried/replaced & Hillary deserved a brokered convention instead of a “coronation”. They started ‘20 vilifying both PBO & HRC in favor of their preferred alternatives. Ain’t shit changed.
They’re still PISSED that despite their best efforts and media blitz to shove Bernie & the also-rans down our throats in the early stretch of the primary, we STILL voted for the most reliable White ally left on the stage and mobilized the Obama/Clinton coalition to nominate Joe.
