For five weeks we've been running a series on DAME called #WTFisWrongWithTwitter. @Luvvie is raising important questions her #Thread
First we asked why the love affair with white supremacists? damemagazine.com/2017/10/19/twi…
And then explored how the pro-life movement weaponizes twitter damemagazine.com/2017/10/16/ant…
And why it does nothing to shut down the dangers of 45* damemagazine.com/2017/10/31/wha…
In the coming weeks, we're continuing to explore the issues with twitter - from what happens to when your income is tied to it, to what happens if it actually shut down.

We’re always proud of the work we publish and recently our brilliant writers have taken it to new levels! #ICYMI here’s a roundup from @MollyRingwald, @JillFilipovic, @VABVOX, @ashleyn1cole, @Echidne, @sarahljaffe, @chgrimaldi, @DrStaceyPatton, @robinmarty, and @thebookslut:
.@MollyRingwald: “Strangely, despite having lived with the threat of a ruthless criminal striking in such proximity, I felt safe. I suppose this is a testament to my parents and the psychological security they provided me.”

.@JillFilipovic: “When young, white men do lash out by shooting up their schools, the media too often frames their actions as men provoked by women’s (understandable) actions to separate themselves from the kind of guy who would shoot up a school.”

Last night, the @CommerceGov said it would add a citizenship question to the #2020Census. In theory, it’s about getting an accurate count for purposes of the Voting Rights Act. In reality, it’s a racist xenophobic move with severe long-term consequences. commerce.gov/sites/commerce…
The census is an incredibly important tool that touches so many aspects of American lives. It’s the foundational data for everything from voting rights for black people, median earnings for women versus men, fertility rates, and more.

The census is also the tool used to draw federal and state political districts and it helps determine what federal dollars get spent where. damemagazine.com/2017/05/15/cen… #2020Census
