This man started an account where he tweets exactly what the president tweets. He just got suspended.
Experiment Update - Well it finally happened. Took longer than expected. 12 hour suspension and had to delete the offending tweet. Here’s the screenshots @suspendthepres. Will post to the account when suspension is lifted.

No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes.

Hello fellow cis (non-trans) people. Important reminder that no one is asking for you to be trans, but simply for you to accept that some folks are. And that costs you literally nothing.

Seeing brands go rainbow for pride is cool but it has the same bittersweet feeling of that popular person who ignored you in high school be nice to you at reunion. They just calculated that being nice to you isn't a risk anymore.

So if you see people celebrating #BlackPanther and don’t understand why, just remember that cinema has long been telling universally accessible stories that represent everyone with bodies that only represent some.

The internet has been an instrumental tool for marginalized groups to organize. It has enabled us to share videos of police brutality that can't be unseen, it has turned hashtags into movements. Repealing #NetNeutrality isn't just corporate greed. It's political silencing.

None of these stories are about race, yet they have cast white people by default. They each deal with fantastical elements yet seem to have found it “unrealistic” to cast POC in anything but the periphery.

The only “correct” way to protest is to have done it in the past. People who love Rosa Parks today would have hated her in her time. In the future those same people will demand that protesters be more like the ones from 2020. Keep going.

The entire Harry Potter series runs 1,207 minutes. POC speak for 5 minutes and 40 seconds. That's 0.47% which is represented by 12 characters (and 13 actors), two of whom are CGI. On average, each character speaks for 28.33 seconds.

Happy MLK day. Loving reminder that he was hated in his time for being a radical progressive and was only celebrated as an icon after his death. Take a moment to think of the people you criticize today for being “too progressive” and consider loving them while they’re still here.

No no no no no. “Let me say this loud and clear, we traffic in homosexuality at the peril of our spiritual welfare.” - Billy Graham, 1974. Barack, you're great, but please delete this and find a different way to memorialize a person who made life harder for many many people.
Billy Graham was a humble servant who prayed for so many - and who, with wisdom and grace, gave hope and guidance to generations of Americans.

A horrifying reminder that Flint still doesn't have clean water.
My mom washed greens today for #Thanksgiving using bottled water. She uses 4 cases for every wash. She had to wash them 3 times. “They say we can drink the water but I’m not using that. They are still giving us bottled water.” #flint #FlintWaterCrisis #EnvironmentalJustice.
