How the hell do I tweet a post from here?

signed up for twitter a long time ago when Obama was doing a tweet in or whatever the hell you call it. Moved to fast for me and never figured it out. I would love to send something from here to the Con. How do I do that? Please do not make it to complicated.

TIA

The Twitter button would let me tweet it, but you will need to shorten it a bit. fleabiscuit Jun 2017 #7

Once there switch this on: "Social media tabs on threads (Twitter, Google+, Facebook)"

Then go back to your post and it should be there at the bottom.
