WARNING — this article addresses online abuse and contains references and language that are NSFW.

Some things go so beyond the pale, that it is difficult to let them go and the abuse being directed at Jess Phillips by the far right and some within her party is firmly within that category — but the response from Twitter is just mind-blowing. Actually, it is so bad that it makes a mockery of Twitter’s abuse policies.
