![]() ![]() I've been an activist since 2011, writing articles, organizing events, appearing in the media, and doing public speaking and formal debates. I'm a civil rights activist, an atheist, a musician, and a transgender woman from Missouri. I'm 32, I have half a college degree, and I don't think I'm anybody special. So, who's the woman behind the tweets? And what set me off, tearing into him so aggressively, and publicly? Many people even asked me to set up a Patreon profile (a crowd-funding platform for content creators), so that they could donate to me in support of my continued activism efforts-which I was flattered, and honored, to do. I gained 90,000 Twitter followers in one day. My so-called "tweetstorm" went viral, garnering tens of thousands of retweets, and appearing on multiple mainstream media outlets the following morning.

Do you know how many veterans killed themselves? Do you know how many children went to bed tonight without enough food to eat?" Over the course of two dozen tweets, I tore into him, posting, "Baldwin's impression isn't 'Sad.' You know what's sad? In 7 weeks, you'll be responsible for 330 million lives, and you can't think of anything better to do than tweet about a comedy show. I tweeted back, "Jesus f***ing Christ, You are the president-elect. The SNL cold open, incidentally, was poking fun at the President-elect's inability to stay off his Twitter account long enough to, say, sit through an entire intelligence briefing-and, at his penchant for concerning himself with pettiness online, even while drastically more urgent priorities are at hand. On December 3, Donald Trump once again took to Twitter to whine about a TV comedy sketch, posting: "Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable!
