Deplatforming is one of the few things that has blunted this movement at all and it’s not enough.

♲ @deviantollam@twitter.com: ... So, for me, the question is never "why do I speak out about this and stand in front of others when I don't have to."

The question is "what kind of fucking asshole would I be if I *didn't* do it, even though I can. When others pay such a price for doing so?"

♲ @Hbomberguy@twitter.com: When big corporations give you advice on how to save the planet, the subtext is Surrender.
Assume the problems with your world end with your specific life, and only make changes within your own space - allow us to continue. Hold us accountable? No. Use Energy saving light bulbs.

♲ @mexieYT@twitter.com: .@TorontoPolice literally choking and roughing people peacefully protesting neo-nazi bigots holding a hate rally. I was hit in the face asking why I couldn’t cross the street. “For our safety”.. never felt so unsafe.

♲ @SarahJamieLewis@twitter.com: What most concerns me about Libra is the potential for further marginalization. People locked out of the financial system, unable to pay rent because a status update flagged them as a sex worker; unable to access healthcare because Facebook thinks their identity is fraudulent.

♲ @Xof@twitter.com: To any clients following me, for the love of all that's holy, please don't do this.
