       I decided this weekend to leave Twitter/X behind. I'm not deleting my account, but I'm not going to post my work or ideas there anymore. There's no amount of clicks, likes, or retweets that can make up for the fact that merely using the platform is now helping directly fund bigots, rapists, and conspiracy mongers through Twitter's revenue sharing program.As a journalist who cares about my community and our shared future, that's a red line for me. If you're here, I suspect it is for you too.

       Some folks have asked me why I haven't deleted my Twitter account completely or at least locked it down. It's a fair question. The answer is this: I was on Twitter for 15 years, which is about 75% of my career as journalist so far. Over the years, I posted information there that really can't be found anywhere else — about politicians, extremists, terror attacks, and more.Deleting that seems like it would cause more harm than leaving it up. So I'll keep it alive for as long as it makes sense.
