I agree but unfortunately none of the big “leftist” influencers agree :(

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I am comfortable being around all sorts of ppl bc that’s the job w journalism, but I feel u! Ultimately I think it’s good for the right wing media to platform me/allow me access to their audience bc I’ve gotten many loyal followers to flip that way. But I respect anyone’s approach differently!

I literally haven’t changed a single one of my beliefs you guys just make shit up

It’s all good! Just annoying to deal with but that’s the internet. Sending solidarity!

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It’s not just ableism it’s also other reactionary politics like how these people are pro censorship/surveillance laws etc. Also a lot of it is just ppl who hate me intentionally misrepresenting my beliefs in order to drive outrage. It’s frustrating bc I’m a very open book w what I believe

010

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

What I said about X was clipped and presented out of context, again, to intentionally manufacture outrage. Please stop stripping the nuance from my beliefs! I’m a very open book!! I do disagree on some tech stuff w the left but that’s not bc I’m secretly right wing

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

A lot of people today can’t just admit they they don’t like someone they have to make up some fake moral justification as to why they’re bad and you’re actually a GOOD person for not liking someone. It’s fine to just not like someone! Smh

If a much more powerful massive right wing media outlet wants to promote me to their audience, I will always welcome it. What I will not do is change my beliefs or promote them back. But if right wing media started promoting more ppl saying trans rights, free Palestine, etc that would be great imo!

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

I don't "heavily use AI" but again, that's a common talking point from these people who misrepresent/make things up about me! I am a tech reporter covering consumer tech, so I'm mostly covering how other ppl use AI. And there is no "advocacy for use of Twitter" Stop fighting ghosts!

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It's reactionary shit and it's disgusting! This is why I have never identified with any formal political movement, I think these people are not remotely interested in justice or equal rights or freedom, they're interested in manufacturing outrage, often bc they *personally* don't like me.

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Their goal is to profit off lies about me or generate engagement by furthering harassment and abuse campaigns. These people have zero solidarity with disabled people, and are the same ones gleefully mocking the entire disabled community for caring about COVID, or mocking ppl who use neo pronouns

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

What you should be asking yourself is why are a certain few accounts-- who have ZERO solidarity with disabled people-- specifically trying to misrepresent something I have always done (allow the right wing media to platform me while never platforming them back) now. What is their real goal?

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

This is why I go on News Nation, this is why I went on Infowars many times, this is why I have and always will let Fox News put me on. This is not new, and some of my most loyal audience members fighting against LGBTQ hate laws, etc have come from engaging these audiences.

180

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I have always and will always allow the right wing media to platform me and let me speak to their massive and more powerful audiences. This is not new! I think it's GOOD if Bari Weiss wants to platform me or anyone else saying free Palestine and trans rights, that's a good thing actually.

1162

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

And it's not "careerist" to fight all day against surveillance and LGBTQ censorship laws and for disability justice. I have literally only lost money. Pretending like fighting for trans people, repro rights, disability justice etc is profitable is deranged, and again, shows where you stand

010

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Oh they VERY MUCH viciously hate disabled people. And the fact that you're casting doubt immediately on the abuse disabled ppl have been suffering lately at the hands of other leftists reveals exactly where you stand! Just look at the leftists gleefully shitting on the Covid aware lesbian bar story

200

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I have always and will always take the opportunity to speak to right wing audiences. I don't platform them, but they're welcome to platform me all day every day-- I think that's a good thing! This is why I go on News Nation, Breitbart, Infowars, etc. I have and always will allow them to platform me.

010

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

If Bari Weiss's deranged website wants to run puff pieces on me all day I'll welcome it 24/7. I have never identified w a political group bc most leftists online are massive hypocrites who won't lift a finger to block mass surveillance and LGBTQ censorship laws and they viciously hate disabled ppl

210

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

As I said, there are SO many people online who have built whole platforms and made god knows how much money just by lying about me. It happens on the right and the left. Stop falling for this.

0261

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

They do this all the time because it gets them clicks and views and most all of them simply hate me bc I'm *further* to the left than they are on disability justice, where they're all indistinguishable from nazis.

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Because a bunch of drama slop YouTubers and people who hate me bc of my COVID/disability justice advocacy have been making videos claiming I "left the left" or some shit for clicks and profit. These ppl have 0 solidarity with disabled folks and that's fundamentally why they hate me.

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I'm not "pro" Elon taking over twitter, I said that X has improved significantly under Nikita and it's much better than it was in 2022. And yes, I have solidarity with disabled people and do not support an abuse and smear campaign against disabled queer people. That should not be an unpopular belief

000

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Well the goal was to foment a hate and abuse campaign towards disabled queer people, and further stigmatize and marginalize disabled people for clicks. And it was very effective! Nearly the entire left hates disabled ppl and fell for it

Yup! And this is amidst a MASSIVE COVID surge and the same week the CDC reclassified COVID levels to make high levels seem low aka lie to the public about transmission. Not one of the big “leftists” ranting about this story have mentioned the CDC change or Covid surge once!!

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I think it’s good when bad people and evil tech billionaires do good things. We should want them to make their products better and less harmful. The only reason anyone would be opposed to that is if they’re not interested in change and just want to be morally sanctimonious. Sorry we disagree

The entire thing exists solely to paint marginalized people and those who mask as hysterical weirdos. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for a national publication to be covering a teeny tiny local community scuffle.

Hey so uhhhhh that Boston Globe story about the lesbian bar relaxing its covid rules is an *absolute fucking hit piece* targeting the disabled, chronically ill, and covid-conscious and it would be great if folks sharing and joking about it could recognize that framing.

Pointing and laughing at people who created a community to try and protect the disabled and chronically ill is not allyship actually.

if an article about this conflict HAD to be written, you nailed THE major underlying structural problem at the heart that should’ve been the main subject: “lack of public health tearing apart community space that values accessibility to all” would be a much more apt headline.

If they want to promote me to their audience and say that I’m great and smart and their audience should follow me that’s great. I welcome followers from all backgrounds, hopefully they learn from the information I share and become less radicalized. It has happened many times before.

You guys just make shit up. You lie, never give receipts bc there are none. In 2020 I worked on a Hulu doc about the first all Black content house and wrote stories that kicked off the entire MSM discussion abt how Black creators don’t get credit for their work. But yes, I criticized Candace Owens.
