"Indivisible as a movement was born online. In 2016, our founders wrote a Google Doc on how to resist Trump’s fascist agenda and posted it on Twitter. There, it was shared by prominent progressive activists, enabling it to reach millions of people. Indivisible groups began popping up organically all over the country, and were able to grow and mobilize thanks in no small part to the reach that Twitter afforded them.
The Twitter we knew — which, despite its many problems over the years, allowed us to build this community and fight for a better world — is now largely gone. The platform has become a megaphone for a bigoted and conspiratorial billionaire, propped up by a subscription scheme that amplifies the voices of transphobes and white nationalists who agree with him and muzzles his critics.
Since purchasing Twitter/X, Musk has uplifted accounts that target LGBTQ+ people for harassment, spread transphobia and antisemitism, re-verified violent white supremacists, and dabbled with dangerous ‘Great Replacement’ rhetoric.
Musk’s outburst scapegoating Jews for the decline of X in September was an inflection point, accelerating internal discussions about our continued participation in a platform that not only allows such hate speech, but rewards it, amplifies it, issues it from its C-suite.
We didn’t like the message it sent — to the communities targeted by Musk and his minions or to the bigots celebrating his mainstreaming of hate — to continue on as normal. X is no longer a normal platform."
