Twitter Just Permanently Suspended Conservative Writer Milo Yiannopoulos

After years of provocation, Twitter has permanently banned Milo Yiannopoulos from its service.

buzzfeed:

Yiannopoulos, who currently serves as Breitbart.com’s tech editor, has been hailed as a standout voice of the new “alt-right” movement. As such, he has made a living as a provocateur, continually inflaming tensions between progressive branches of the internet focused on identity politics and the fervently anti-PC segment that constantly trolls it. For years, Yiannopoulous has used Twitter not only to voice his controversial opinions but to direct his legion of followers (388,042 at the time of this writing) toward his opponents. As a result, he’s been temporarily banned from Twitter a number of times for violating terms of service and stripped of his verification.

But this time — according to Twitter — he’s gone too far. This week, Yiannopoulos led a harassment campaign against Ghostbusters actor Leslie Jones, which led to the SNL cast member’s decision to leave Twitter. The tweets, many of which targeted Jones for being black and a woman, were the final straw for Twitter, which is taking steps to try to solve its harassment problem.

Bernie has established himself. He will continue to fight for his policies. Voting Democratic is the only real option.

THIS

It doesn’t matter if you’re dissapointed or upset that Bernie Sanders isn’t the democrat nominee…if you want to see ANY of his policies have a chance of happening you still need to vote democrat in this election and vote for Hillary Clinton because you can sure as hell bet that if Trump gets in we’re not going to see ANY of Bernie’s policies happen

do u ever feel like you’ve accidentally tricked certain people into thinking you are smarter and have more potential than you actually do and do you ever think about how disappointed they’ll be when you inevitably crash and burn

Fun fact: Impostor Syndrome is ridiculously common among high-achievers, particularly women. If you identify with this post, odds are pretty good that you’re exactly as smart as people think you are, and the failure you’re afraid of isn’t inevitable at all.

honestly i am so fucking enraged right now that i’ve been angry-crying on and off for the past 2 hours

you don’t have to like the movie, you don’t have to think it was good, you don’t have to like the actors in it, you can have valid criticisms of it and that’s all fine but like

deliberately starting a twitter campaign to explicitly harass a black woman and bombard her with racist, sexist imagery and words is just so - i don’t even have words for how fucking upsetting i find this

all leslie jones did was act in a movie and enjoy herself while doing it

she didn’t do anything wrong and it breaks my heart to know that she signed off last night literally in tears and feeling defeated because disgusting, hateful men didn’t want her to have this; they wanted to take it away from her

i hope leslie knows that they can’t take this away from her

she did what they will never do, and that is be successful
