It's already started.
"professional reasons" == "sucking up to fascists" at this point tbh
@godlessmom @brainnotonyet Change is hard, people have connections there that they're hesitant to sacrifice, and people fall for the sunk cost fallacy all of the time.
Do you talk about people in abusive romantic relationships the same way?
@nadezhda04 @brainnotonyet
No, and its really depressing to think about, considering how much they did to help keep us safe and bring J6 thugs to justice.
These kinds of community structures take years to build, but apparently minutes to capriciously destroy nowadays.
@KraftTea @brainnotonyet The whole Twitter Files performance is designed to minimize the threats of Jan 6 and turn it into another âRussiagate hoaxâ with the Deep State again given a starring role in Elmoâs purported âcrime sceneâ that trampled over the rights of Trump and his followers. Trumpâs already screaming that story over at his site.
Between harassment by trolls Elmo has let back in and coordinated attacks by $8Blues, it will be very hard for those communities to survive
@brainnotonyet and you don't see any of these orgs posting on alt accounts or begging a fash friendly authoritarian billionaire for their accounts back. Respect

Sad but not surprising. They actually think it will deterr anti-fascists and anarchists organizing against them. They obviously have no idea who they are dealing with. We've been ducking the federal government and their fascist supporters for decades. This will only serve to piss us off.
