As we told you earlier today, Vox’s Matt Yglesias was among writers at Vox asking people not to “click on scab tweets” for the site in solidarity with the walkout. Yglesias later explained why he personally doesn’t have any issues with Vox owner Vox Media:

@ComfortablySmug summed it up best:
Nothing says I stand with unions like explaining you have stock options https://t.co/PXAqhDyFeN

And perhaps that’s why Yglesias deleted this:

Yglesias has also deleted almost all his tweets yet again:
Canceled again. It’s always when you least expect.

Some progressives have really painted themselves into a corner at Vox.
