> I feel bad for the folks losing their job because that always sucks
I'm not trying to minimize the fact that this sucks for those affected, but lets not also forget that prior to the acquisition, the employees were given multiple opportunities to unionize and/or turn Twitter into an employee-owned company. This is the direction they collectively chose to go in instead.

Were they, though? Or would Twitter have employed the standard Big Tech response, which is to immediately terminate anyone who does the barest amount of serious organizing?
