Yeah, it was it was a conscious decision by me to kind of go public, meaning I didn't I have two Twitter accounts. I didn't want to keep pretending to be one thing in my lockdown Twitter account and hiding on my other. I felt like a hypocrite. And I also knew someone was going to break the story because we were heading into the election and I was very much pro Trump by then. And I had to say.

This is what I think. And I also, to be totally honest, I wanted to join the fight. I wanted people to hear what I had to say. I wanted to refute tweets in public. I wanted to use my platform. But I had also had a conversation with the people who work for me saying, this is happening. We have to figure this out because it's going to happen.

And they understood and they were going to build their own site. They just kept putting it off. And then came the joke about white dudes for Harris, which I can say is the thing that ended my career. It's hilarious to me. But I think what happened was Richard Hania or Hanania or whatever his name is. He's on subsect two. I think he tweeted something mocking them.

And I retweeted it and I said, white power. But I grew up in the 80s. You grew up. You know, we we used sarcasm. We were not cowed and fearful. We were you know, we love jokes. We love to be. And so to me, it's the funniest joke to say white power about these people. But. Boy, they didn't like that. That was blasphemy.

Yeah. And I didn't know that it was a problem until I heard from my friend who called me, my really good friend. And he said, what did you mean by that tweet? And I said, what are you talking about? I meant power to the white people. Yes. And then I was going to compound the problem by saying, what self-respecting white supremacist would claim white dudes for? It's like they just wouldn't.

But but that wouldn't go over have gone over very well either. And then another friend who works with me wrote me and said, you know. This is happening. It has millions of views. What's going on? And I said it was a joke. And he said, well, people aren't seeing it that way. I'm getting all these DMs. There's trouble.

And I didn't take it down at first until I heard from her, the journalist Rebecca Keegan, who DMed me and said, hi, Sasha, I just want to write, do a story with you. Would you like to talk to me? I was like, what? In 25 years, these people have never asked me. to do a profile on me, a single mother with a little baby who built a website, who launched an industry, who was a woman-owned business.
