I think this is the most popular UpEnd tweet. It turns out it is also very insensitive to women and women's issues. It depicts a pain point that women have to endure every day — not to educate men about it, but to exploit it for a point about something entirely different. 1/4 xitter.cf/UpEnd_org/status/10033…

If you would deny a thing to your enemy, it is not a right. What do you stand for?

You can despise Wikileaks and everything it stands for. You can think Assange is an evil spirit reanimated by Putin himself. But you cannot support the prosecution of a publisher for publishing without narrowing the basic rights every newspaper relies on. freedom.press/news/prosecuti…

For the #notallmen crowd: you still have to interrogate your own complicity in the idea that a woman is not a person with her own life, but a background resource for you to utilise.

The war on whistleblowers continues under a new White House: the first journalistic source prosecuted under Trump, Reality Winner, was denied a defense, jailed over 5 years. Her "crime"? Showing us @NSAGov suspected Russia of hacking an election vendor. theintercept.com/2018/06/26/…

The Holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal.
The brave woman who cared for and hid my 6 year-old aunt in an attic in Budapest was a criminal. She broke the law by sheltering Juden.
Legality is not a guide for morality.
We’re evacuating GitHub ourselves! Stay tuned! Place a watch on our GitHub repo, follow us on twitter, or send an email (on the repo page)! xitter.cf/bridgerputnam/status/1…
Okay, I take back that I wasn't worried about #Microsoft and #GitHub. While logged out I tried finding the evacuation plan that was the #1 trending a few days ago, and couldn't find it today. Microsoft censoring @UpEnd_Org's repo? github.com/upend/IF_MS_BUYS_…

#Censorship growth will result in massive movement of key #developpers from #Github now owned by #Microsoft to newly established website. Maybe @Microsoft could more precisely think over what they are doing with their #investments. In fact they "bought" mainly developers for free xitter.cf/Upend_org/status/10042…
BREAKING NEWS: Microsoft GitHub just censored our GitHub Evacuation project from its Trending page. Because we were/are #1 and that's embarrassing.
Will other projects that compete with Microsoft products or challenge its dominance be on the chopping block next?

Well that didn't take long. Here's your sign. Time to move things to support proper decentralization and free software initiatives. xitter.cf/UpEnd_org/status/10042… – at Vancouver, British Columbia

1/ My sis, genetic scientist, mother of 2 boys and a girl: "Yes, men checking out other women is a phenomenon that our (and several other) cultures accept as “normal”, but propagating that culturally accepted norm is anti-feminist/sexist"
Sexist image: steady stream of hearts and retweets.
Mea culpa and reflection on tech community sexism: crickets and mansplainers, despite being pinned at the top of the account for days. xitter.cf/Code_LikeAGirl/status/…
Great. A bunch of men deciding rather than asking women whether this image is insensitive. Can we get some female perspective? @CCriadoPerez @schemaly @anitasarkeesian @JessicaValenti @themamafesto @scATX @JamilahLemiuex @robeanschmutz #EverydaySexism

Wired wonders, in its article, how it will handle the top trending project, the GitHub Evacuation Center. Well we all now know how. Censorship. xitter.cf/WIRED/status/100416462…
Soon, Microsoft will find out that code is even trickier to moderate than content wired.trib.al/BCe25X3

It's the information that matters in that Github purchase, IMO. Microsoft will know what every developer in the world is up to, how they work, when they work, what tools they use... Wanna sell things to developers? Microsoft will know what to sell and how.

Before they deleted us, we were the #1 trending project, and the #4 "developer". The image in this tweet is rather embarrassing.

Women, I encourage all of you to reply, kick my ass, or correct anything I've said if I'm still getting it wrong. Though I'm sure you're tired of having to educate men all the time, even men like me who thought they were totally woke. To you, I deeply apologize. 3/4
