Republicans don't say they hate gay people. They say groomers.
Republicans don't say they hate Hispanic people, They say illegals.
Republicans don't say they hate Black people. They say ban woke.
Be very wary of a political party that uses dehumanizing language. Eventually, they might come for you.

Do you include hashtags in your posts?
When you capitalize each word, e.g. #MakeSpoutibleAccessible , #TextToSpeech software users hear all the words read individually. W/out caps they hear a string of gibberish, denying people with impaired vision appropriate access.

Christian Gilbert @ChristianGilbertTo all my Black friends, please consider downloading the TurnSignal app. If you’re pulled over, it will automatically connect you to a lawyer who will assist and help de-escalate the encounter. It’s not available everywhere yet, but your developers are working on that.

Yep. If they were pro fetus we wouldn't have such abysmal maternal mortality rates.

Even "pro-fetus" is a generous label since I don't see them supporting affordable access to pre-natal care, especially for women of color

You can tell someone's never suffered from prejudice when they think that being made to feel uncomfortable about their bigotry is discrimination.

It is CRITICALLY important that we build up this platform before the thick of the 2024 election cycle, because Musk bought twitter for the express purpose of controlling the news then.
Expect him to use Twitter to spread lies and help the GOP.
We can’t wait until then to build this thing.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyI am pleased to share my thoughts on creating a safe space for marginalized communities. Check out my latest statement to learn more.12:47 PM - Feb 23, 2023![Dear Spoutible users,
When I decided to launch Spoutible, it was born out of a deep-seated need to provide a secure and nurturing space for marginalized communities. For two decades, social media platforms have consistently failed to protect us, leaving Black women to endure racist slurs and LGBTQ+ individuals feeling the need to self-censor due to fear of backlash. I wanted to create a space where individuals could truly be themselves.
However, I found that current alternatives were lacking in their ability to address the issues that make social media a daily battle for marginalized individuals. More of the same was not going to solve the problem. That's why I launched Spoutible, to create a safe and toxic-free environment where everyone is welcome but where the most vulnerable among us can feel protected.
At Spoutible, we understand that free speech should not be confused with the right to abuse and harass others. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing space for our users...]()

Hello EVERYONE
In 1797, a few years after signing the Constitution, founding fathers of this country + President John Adams + entire US Senate unanimously signed the TREATY of TRIPOLI. ART.11 that states explicitly that the US is NOT IN ANY SENSE founded on the CHRISTIAN RELIGION

The three-way traffic signal, which is now commonly used at intersections around the world, was invented by Garrett Morgan, a Black inventor from Cleveland, Ohio. He received a patent for his invention in 1923.

It's soon approaching that time of the year when celebratory posts about #FinalDefenses and #JobMarketAcceptances and I'm not seeing enough of #AcademicTwitter or #EconTwitter to stop visiting the bird site for much needed motivation and positive vibes in an otherwise mostly toxic academic community

R's would like you to believe that protesting against their Christofascism means you're a traitor to the country.
What they fail to remember from American History class, is that protesting against forced religion is how this country was founded. ECHO AWAY!

This 80 yr old man took a 7hr flight & a 10hr train ride into a hot war zone w/ no US military presence, walked around Kyiv w/ air raid sirens blaring for a mtg w/ Zelensky & is now going to 🇵🇱 for an Eastern Flank summit.

It took me a whole to catch up on what had some of my timeline so upset...to use a phrase coined by Mitt Romney, y'all can go ahead and "self-deport" off #Spoutible if you that mad about no porn on this platform which is intended to be a safe space for all

Thee Blue Nose TANY @GiaElAynaouiInteresting to see some folks more upset about porn not being allowed on Spoutible than they are about books by Black, Latino, and Indigenous authors not being allowed in schools, but that's none of my business. #IStandWithBouzy08:41 PM - Feb 19, 2023

The tax code penalizes black couples for having dependents, having a two income household, and having careers that average the same amount of pay.

I'm about to dig to find any ag econ papers writing about this (my guess is none or close to it given the dearth of diversity in these research topics) and talk to some potential ag econ collaborators to evaluate these obvious disparities driven by racial biases in the system #EquityandJustice
