It feels bizarre, as a millennial, to have seen the rise and fall of social media in my lifetime. To contemplate abandoning it altogether when it consumed so much time and energy. It would be easy if I thought we could maintain communities and social action without it.

The handwringing lectures about how the left has no choice but to stay on Twitter are even more ridiculous when you remember that the far right used a series of alternative media — from direct mail to talk radio to Fox News to Breitbart to Gab, Parler and Truth Social — as their path to victory.

The new red scare is coming. The election will not stop it. Only solidarity and self-organization can keep us safe. They will call us terrorists, a mafia, foreign agents. Do not think that your collective is safe when others are under attack. No need to fear. Keep building.

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?
