Kanye has been saying problematic damaging things for years. When he said the slavery comment it was all Kanye being Kanye and he has mental health issues. I’m not downplaying anything he is saying now because it’s bad so very bad Yeah nobody really looked twice while he was going hard on his anti-Blackness for years but...America.

When you’re too hateful for INFOWARS?!?! Who is left to give Kanye a platform to spew this vile shit? I guess Elon Musk. Kanye was just suspended from Twitter after posting swastikas and then posting texts from Elon telling him to stop posting swastikas. On the way out, he also tweeted that he caught Kim in bed with Chris Paul. A whole mess. 👀👀👀👀

Remember two things. There was a way to make sure bots didn't buy the tickets and could have said no to dynamic pricing. Both of those solutions would have cut into the bottom line. Because you know that bottom line needs padding. How many records and how much money does one person need?

But I also believe it just removed his filter.

I've seen people 5150d for less than this shit. His financial management team must not have any control, otherwise they would be trying to stop this blood letting.

If his current staff disagrees, I’m sure there are a whole host of awful people out there who enthusiastically agree with him that would be happy to step in.

I just can't understand how people can deny a very real, terrible thing. Entire families were wiped out. How can you say otherwise? Kanye needs to go away It's disgusting. While many will condemn him, there will also be others who will be enabled by his behavior and hate speech, and that's why this is very dangerous. I hope he is never allowed on social media platforms again (for this and the other problematic shit he has said in the past).
I remember when we did a genocide memorial that was a public event, it was all over the local news, interviews were given to share our stories, and all that.
The very next day, a friend shared how she got attacked by a denier who tracked her down on social media and she began spewing claims that it never happened, her story is fake, it's not genocide, and all the "whataboutisms".
It's beyond hurtful and it fucks with you in ways I can't put into words. But there are many people out there like Kanye and this denier I mentioned, and that's what I find very, very scary, especially if they are given a platform.

Leaf 🌱 I don’t know what you do but I’m really impressed you work in this space. It was just my close group of girlfriends and we have been crying for the past week leading up to last night. Anything having to do with Nazis makes me feel physically sick. It’s heavy stuff. Thanks! I’m extremely proud of our org but I also have definitely had a solid work bathroom cry here and there. Fingers crossed that the silver lining of this shit show is a good EOY numbers for our fundraisers and Kanye hopefully getting banned from more platforms.

But my friend group is making a number of donations in the survivor we spoke to’s name. If you wanted to dm the org name, I am happy to bring it to my friends. Again nooooo pressure.

This streaming service is ready to pay for their two leads to win the Golden Globes in their categories, even though they are not the front runners. The male lead, who is a foreign born alliterate A- list actor, laughed when a colleague asked if he would stay home & support a boycott.

As both LGBT and Jewish, I find the news incredibly triggering. My late grandmother escaped Germany, but much of her/our family didn't.
I grew up being ostracized and worse for being Jewish. As young as 6. I clearly remember a friend of mine coming to school and telling me she couldn't be my friend anymore because I was a Jew. This was in 1992.
The temple I went to was one of 3 Jewish-targeted arsons in 1999, just a week after my Bat Mitzvah.
It's why I've never decorated my house for the holidays. It's why most Jews don't--for our safety.
So yeah, antisemitism hasn't ever gone away and mentally ill or not, the fact that Kanye has over some 32 million followers, compared to only 15 million Jewish folx in the world is scary as fuck.

This part was interesting to me, seems like the rumors ot it being linked to the Prince family are true: According to court docs obtained by TMZ ... prosecutors are asking for Patrick Xavier Clark's bail to be set at $1,000,000. If Clark is released on bail, prosecutors are asking the judge for an order that prohibits Clark from talking with a specific list of people - Takeoff's family, J. Prince Jr. and his family, as well as Shakur Stevenson and anyone from Shakur's "place of employment."
