This tweet reminded me that we'd previously noticed and started researching this account.
Meet @Tunatoonses, a Twitter account with a default profile picture and a typo-laden belief that Putin is "nicer" to the United States than the FBI is.
What does @Tunatoonses tweet about? 52.4% of their tweets contain one or more of the terms in this chart. Let's take a closer look at the tweets about Russia. . .
Examples of @Tunatoonses' Russia tweets. Some themes:

- Russia doesn't care when we meddle in their elections
- Russia did us a favor by hacking DNC emails
- Russia couldn't help but take Crimea because Obama was weak
- Mueller is trying to start a nuclear war
Where is @Tunatoonses from? California, theoretically, although they can't seem to keep track of which congressional district. They campaigned for Darrell Issa (49th), will be voting against Mimi Walters (45th), and want to help Trump adopt four cats from Moreno Valley (41st).
Speaking of Mimi Walters, @Tunatoonses directed a series of identical tweets her way in early June opposing the Mueller investigation.
Two other California representatives are favorites of @Tunatoonses. Unsurprisingly, the two are Devin Nunes (known for shutting down the House Intel Committee's Russia investigation) and Dana Rohrabacher, who (among other things) stated that indicting Maria Butina was "stupid".
Thanks to @ZellaQuixote for the initial lead/early research on this account.

Time for some fun with political vocabulary. We downloaded English-language tweets containing "neocon", "neoconservative", "neolib", or "neoliberal", resulting in 40747 tweets from 24603 accounts in the last 10 days.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
How are these labels used? Based on the fact that only 15 of the 40747 tweets contain one of the phrases below, people aren't self-identifying as neocon/neolib. Anecdotally, the majority of uses are pejorative, typically directed at folks deemed insufficiently ideologically pure.
Combined retweet network for neocon(servative)/neolib(eral). The accounts using only neocon(servative) are largely right-wing, while those using neo(liberal) or both are generally left-wing.

Retweet network for "Integrity Initiative"/#IntegrityInitiative. Several of the prominent accounts (@georgegalloway, @Ian56789, @ShoebridgeC) have a history of pushing #FalseFlag theories about the #Skripal poisoning. Sputnik reporter @KitKlarenberg also puts in an appearance.
Speaking of Sputnik, here are the media sources most frequently linked from tweets containing "Integrity Initiative"/#IntegrityInitiative. Sputnik and RT comprise 45% of the volume, with the majority of the rest being comprised of Western conspiracy-oriented sites.

Meet @ASGFiltration. At first glance this appears to be a promotional Twitter account for a business, but some of the content is. . . odd. The account has replied 722 times with the tweet pictured, and many of the replies seem out of context.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
The tweet referencing Trump is not the only tweet @ASGFiltration has repeated. It is the most frequently repeated and the only one that is overtly political.
Repetition of tweets suggests a bot. @ASGFiltration doesn't tweet 24/7 and posts all tweets via the Twitter website making automation hard to prove, but manually posting the same tweet 722 times sounds more than a bit drudgerous.

A few days ago, I captured almost 300K tweets with the hashtag #macron20h. Moreover, a lot of people in France are wondering if Russia is trying to influence the yellow vests movement. So, I decided to hunt the Russian profiles in this graph.

Thread 🔽🔽🔽
As always, an explanation for the graph is needed:
- a node is a twitter profile.
- an edge is a retweet of a French tweet with the hashtag #macron20H
- the size of the node has been calculated with the Pagerank algorithm
- the colors show the communities
In this picture, I highlighted the retweets done by Twitter profiles with the user language set to Russian.

OK my @medium account got "caught in the spam filter" & has been restored so let me try this #thread again. I've been working for several months on a series of blogs explaining trolling & botting tactics used by 4chan during the election. #ContentWarning: medium.com/@erin_gallaghe…

So Dr Ford is "confused" and "mixed up" about what happened 35 years ago but Brett Kavanaugh's memory of the same incident from 35 years ago is perfect and crystal clear?
When men, decades later, report abuse by priests they are believed, increasingly there are state investigations despite the statute of limitations having lapsed decades before they go public.

Whereas, Women who come forward decades later are "confused" or "lying."

Got it.
Sen Kirsten Gillibrand (NY): "Who is not asking the FBI to investigate these claims? The White House. Judge Kavanaugh has not asked to have the FBI to review these claims. Is that the reaction of an innocent person? It is not." #KavanaughAccuser #Kavanaugh

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

As we get closer to midterms, trolls and bots will push #FakeNews more than ever.

Here are some tips for spotting and fact checking possible propaganda or disinformation posts on social media. 1/9 #MondayMotivation
The tweet above that says McCain admitted to being a war criminal is an example of disinformation.

When you read the @snopes article, it's clear that McCain was talking about a false confession he wrote while a POW as a result of torture. 2/9 goo.gl/owo1Pb
A good example of propaganda is using #mollietibbits' tragic murder to paint #immigrants as criminals and advocate for anti-immigrant policies. 📰goo.gl/r6A1aS

They want to elicit an emotional response in working class Americans: to fear immigrants. 3/9
