Actress Patricia Arquette is quite miffed that a tweet from conservative Joy Villa showed up in her timeline today and she asked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey if his company is now “pushing right wing people”:
Why is this on my timeline? I don’t follow her and no one I do follow retweeted her. Nor does it say promoted. @jack is @twitter pushing right wing people now? https://t.co/LweExZt1yk

On the plus side, this might get Patty off Twitter:
This is why I will be participating in the twitter fast. Right wing accounts being pushed https://t.co/hdvsR9Xy4t

Here’s Joy Villa’s pitch-perfect response:
Ok, but why does this offend you? You once commented positively on a post of mine. I love and respect your work, and it’s sad to see another woman throw down against me simply for having a different political perspective. Ps the original post was about love, I send you love.❤️

Well said, Joy:
Great response, you rock Joy?

And this looks like the interaction that might have triggered the Twitter algo, if that’s even what happened:
That's lame. Kinda like him saying don't knock my teeth out and then I do! Twice! #nomeansnojerk

Thank you, @PattyArquette

Of note, Arquette also used the hashtag “#MemorialDayWeekend”:
I’m sending prayers this #MemorialDayWeekend to those who lost their lives. I am also sending love and support to their families who suffered an immeasurable blow.
