John,
It finally happened.
After lying constantly on Twitter for years, Donald Trump finally crossed
the company's line -- it just flagged 2 of his tweets for misinformation
about voting, and another for glorifying violence!
Now Trump's having a tantrum and threatening to shut Twitter down.
Twitter doesn't always get it right, but it shouldn't come under attack
for flagging content that could mess with elections or cause serious harm
to people. So let's stand with Twitter against Trump -- when 100,000
people join, we'll organize a massive stunt on Capitol Hill with our
message:

This isn’t just a US issue -- politicians all over the world are watching
how this unfolds -- whether Twitter will cave to Trump’s threats and pave
the way for rampant misinformation -- or if there will be overwhelming
solidarity with Twitter for protecting democracies and going up against
the bullies who seek to destroy them.
Some will claim Twitter is censoring alternative voices, or that it's
relying on the fact-checkers of evil mainstream media. But Twitter has
taken an extremely basic measure on content that violates its terms. In
fact, Trump’s harmful tweets are still up! If anything, Twitter needs to
do more, not less!
Join now to stand with Twitter against Trump -- if we make this huge, it
will send a powerful signal that people all across the world are not being
fooled by the fear and distrust that powerful politicians like Trump are
trying to use against us.

It’s unusual for our community to run a campaign like this -- we’re
usually holding companies’ feet to the fire, not standing in solidarity
with them! But we can do both when needed. So let’s do it now, and suck
the air out of Trump’s dangerous, deceitful momentum before it’s too late.
