As an American politics professor, how can I come to #TSTheErasTour and NOT dress up as SOME KIND OF CONGRESSMAN??? (D-Taylor Nation). #HoustonTSTheErasTour #AntiHero

In light of Grok now making AI videos of a nude Taylor Swift without users even asking for that, today is yet another great day for @taylornation13 and @taylorswift13 to abandon Twitter and move their main messaging operations to other platforms like 🟦☁️.

In light of the president yet again using his social media platform to attack and demean @taylorswift13, today would be another great day for Taylor and @taylornation13 to quit this Nazi bar of a platform and migrate somewhere else--perhaps 🟦☁️???.

In light of the past few days of Grok becoming a white supremacist chatbot opening praising Nazis and advocating for genocide, it would be yet another great day for @taylornation13 to leave this platform and encourage all Swifties to migrate with it elsewhere. Maybe 🟦☁️???.

In light of Twitter being the primary platform disseminating Kanye West's new song, "Heil Hitler," which promotes racist and antisemitic ideas and samples from a Hitler speech, today would be another great day for @taylornation13 to quit Twitter and come to Bluesky!.

In light of Elon Musk gaining control of the financial information of virtually every American (despite holding scant formal government power) and pressuring federal agencies into using Twitter exclusively to communicate, it'd be a great day for @taylornation13 to ditch Twitter!.

As a 🟦☁️ user, I'd be tickled pink if @taylornation13 would join us there, but the choice is yours. Pretty much any other platform is better than one that aligns itself with Nazis. Please, I'm on my knees.Change where you post the prophecies. 9/END

If @taylornation13 moved to another platform and encouraged its 3M+ followers to come along, it would send a powerful signal to Musk-led Twitter that its behavior and rhetoric is unpopular as well as reaffirming the values Taylor and her fans share 8/N.

Keeping @taylornation13's base of operations here gives Musk et al. a captive audience to spread its propaganda that is antithetical to the brand Taylor has built--one that advocates kindness, respect, and love for all--while also demeaning and misappropriating her likeness 7/N.

Even this week, Elon is using Taylor's likeness to deflect criticism of his double Nazi salute during Donald Trump's inauguration festivities, suggesting that his gesture was OK because Taylor once also raised her arm (this is a nonsense comparison, to be clear) 6/N

Beyond these trends, Elon Musk himself and those who support him have been particularly denigrating to @taylorswift13 and her fan base. I mean, suggesting he'd impregnate Taylor was particularly creepy and should rile all Swifties' feminist antennae! 5/N.

Together, these dynamics mean that Twitter is less hospitable of the Swiftie community--which tends to lean liberal, especially on social issues like feminism and LGBTQ rights--and that the scope of @taylornation13's audience is shrinking 4/N.

These changes, as well as Elon Musk's own unhinged rhetoric and behavior, has driven millions of users to leave/stop using Twitter--here @mashable reports a drop of nearly 3 million users, or 8.4%, in the final months of 2024 3/N.

Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter in 2022, the platform has steadily degraded in quality. It currently privileges extremist content aligned with right-wing leaders and causes, such as election conspiracies and bigotry towards marginalized groups 2/N.

Open message to @taylornation13:. For many years, Twitter has been the main medium you have used to communicate with fans about important @taylorswift13 updates--and it's been a great community--but I implore you to consider decamping to a different social media platform 1/N
