It’s depressing that we have to write this but important to get the message across. This unfounded and outrageous statement from the Trump administration has led to unwarranted fear and guilt. Women deserve better.

I’ve read the arguments about why we should stay on Twitter/X but they don’t stack up. It’s owned by #Musk & until it isn’t I’ll boycott it. Boycotts bring change. Complaining on a platform with an algorithm that suppresses dissent isn’t going to bring change - the last few years have shown this.
