(45,484 posts)like many workplaces will block twitter.
The smaller one below is the direct link to the twitter posts, a recent addition to DU's functionality.
The OP is being courteous to those who check DU at work.

(11,843 posts)I would think that if they block Twitter they would block DU. I have no idea if DU is blocked where I work, I have never attempted to log in there. In my mind, being political at work never makes sense. I think at this job, it could be OK, but at my last job, the asshole they hired to be the IT manager was a colossal, conservative prick.
I guess there is a reason I don't do Twitter - the whole concept seems silly to me - an arbitrary, artificial constraint. The only advantage I can see is that one would get smaller flaming bags of shit on their porch.

(45,484 posts)I worked somewhere that blocked DU but didn't block free republic. Some place block most everything by default until someone makes a case for unblocking something.
Twitter is also used actively by many organizations to disseminate information. There's a case in front of the US Supreme Court right now on whether social media is free speech. Justice Kagan says it's ok to ban criminals from using Snapchat and Facebook but Twitter is free speech because it's used by most governments for official business. Justice Kennedy says it's the modern version of a town public square. So who knows anymore.
I never saw the appeal of twitter and it's most famous user lately is a real piece of shit.

(65,616 posts)Alt-right shit eaters out crazied the Tea Party. They made Ted Jesus Cruz mad with their eat the couch attitude. People don't understand, they are like a huge swarm of locusts. Try to figure them out as they pick your bones.
The GOP will throw out NOcare (don't get sick) and pretend we are assholes for getting mad.
