So here’s the thing, over the years twitter has updated its policies to recognize and punish a wider range of abuse, but the onus is still on those of us being abused to report it. It’s like applying a band-aid to a gushing wound. https://twitter.com/twittercomms/status/1312167835783708672

The problem isn’t that twitter is enforcing the no death threats rule towards the president, it’s that it feels to many people that he’s getting special treatment when BIPOC, queer, and other marginalized identities are not getting the same care and support.

Also extremely relevant to this conversation is the hypocrisy of protecting those in power as @PennyRed describes in this thread https://twitter.com/pennyred/status/1312525561621667846?s=21 https://twitter.com/pennyred/status/1312525561621667846
