Oh, isn't that sweet. Trump and his BFF Mark Zuckerberg shared a private phone call, as Trump declared war on Twitter after it posted a warning on his tweet that broke Twitter's rules against "glorifying violence." We know what side you're on, Zuckerberg.https://t.co/hnq7GaO3Zz

If you’re going to stay at a company you have problems with, this is the way to do it. The most important question to ask yourself if you’re in this situation is “will ME staying result in things getting fixed?” If you can create causation, stay & fight. If you can’t, move on. ? https://t.co/2rkVyNLADl
