2022 was a rebirth, a return to life. 🧵 There was not a single day in 2021 - not one - where I could have in my wildest dreams imagined it. I think about that a lot. And I always will. ❤️ 🙌

Josh Hader and Sean Newcomb are not *victims* for having their old racist and homophobic tweets exposed. They made those statements. And not when they were 10 or 11 years old; they were 18 or 19. Old enough to know better. Shows how entrenched racism, sexism and homophobia are.

@TheRealHoarse @SRuhle Because their plan - as with their Nazi rallies - is to make an argument to "look with your own eyes at Trump's support," so when he loses they can argue that result is illegitimate. At the same time they will push and sue and power-play key states to not count mail-in votes.

Stop calling it “meddling.” Stop calling then “Internet trolls.” Language matters. Stop minimizing and ceding the narrative, so we can more comfortably close our eyes to what has happened. This was *and continues to be* a *full scale military grade psy ops attack* on the US.

Saying “it was just a joke” or “all kids say dumb stuff” is the equivalent of “boys will be boys.” It gives a pass to unacceptable behavior and perpetuates racism, sexism and homophobia. Instead we should be outraged and outspoken about it being unacceptable.

And, crucially, when you discover that somebody isn’t open to persuasion, leave them. Leave it. Engaging with that elevates them into the sphere of people who deserve to be taken seriously, and their ideas into the sphere of things that merit debate.
