#blacktwitter: In lieu of boycotts, let's just STOP SPENDING MONEY. It's hard, but it's time to just focus on savings and investment.
Actually, it IS a BOYCOTT. I'm saying BOYCOTT spending money. Again, it's not easy, but we might hurt these guys in the pocket enough to make a difference, and if we don't, we'll have money! Just limited the downside.

Don't ask me to tolerate Nazis. I'm not tolerating Nazis. On social media? Please! Get 'em outta here.
Nazis are not in my range of tolerance. If they are in yours, that's a you problem. I don't want or need that.
Some of y'all, especially on #blackhistorymonth, need to get your range of tolerance together. If you're tolerating Nazis, then people like me SEE YOU AS NAZIS. Period.

On this day, February 18, 1885, the renowned author Samuel Clemens, (Mark Twain), released The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This story is a follow-up to his novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). Unlike the light-hearted tone of the first book, the new novel took a much more serious approach by exploring the topic of slavery and other aspects of life in the pre-Civil War South.

"You are the great great grandnephew of Carter G. Woodson, she told him. Woodson is the man behind Negro history week, which ultimately became Black History Month. She said Brett should be proud of this fact, he should even brag about it."

See who responds negatively and BLOCK THEIR ENTIRE DOMAIN!
How? Click on the offender's profile, then click the hamburger (the three dots ...); on the bottom of the menu, click 'Block Domain'
Now, that blocks all of the people on that server. Some of them COULD be cool...but honestly, why bother figuring that out? Just move on.
Simple! Easy! Enjoy your Mastodon!
"...it’s also true that one of the most fascinating aspects of African American studies is the rich history of debate over issues like this, and especially over what it has meant — and continues to mean — to be “Black” in a nation with such a long and troubled history of human slavery at the core of its economic system for two-and-a-half centuries."

I want you to notice the effect this one person has had on people by doing a terrible job and abusing his authority and job status.
