Screenshots are fine Even incliding the frame. Videos - I think if it's embedded, that is, if it plays here and you don't have to go to Xitter to see it, I think are safe. I hope someone will correct me if that's wrong. I know some Xitter users don't know how to embed, and I'd be happy if they would tell us if a video is not an embed

As others have said, there's a lot of xit on Xitter, but it isn't all xit. For whatever reasons, there are still smart people and good Democrats (a tautology probably) there. I don't think we need tp miss what they have to say - just to be protected from unnecessarily clicking to Xitter ourselves.
