Yes we do. Just saying Elon bought Twitter to kill it.

Best bookend of an essay here that I’ve read in a while. Beautiful start. Emotional finish. Thanks for that.

And thanks for this: “Aside from appropriating its name from the Nation of Islam, Musk’s changes were barely noticeable at first.” 😜👊🏾

When Musk bought Twitter & stated he was allowing Trump back on, I knew what time it was, so I bounced.

That was the best definition of "Colonization" I've read in quite a while.

The movement is to destroy Black Twitter, black culture and black truth. The Brown just get in the way so destroy them as well. But did you realize that the seniors are also a drain and must be gone!!!! They don’t care and we are of no value. What “they” don’t know is the we will not go peacefully. I will take them down with me when I go!!!!

Black Twitter was my source for unwhitewashed news. I also learned a few things while there. Lol, the only people I fought with were the racists.

"Trump" and "Vice President" were inserted as followers on my Instagram account without my permission, although I have a private account.😱

I left the day he purchased it. It was already written at that point. American Requiem
