Do you want to spread truth, facts, and some laughs? Rumor has it you should follow @akkitwts, a self-styled resistance accounts whose 265 tweets apparently contain these things in spades, as it's managed to attract 19.3K followers in under two months.

Before we follow for the promised truth, facts, and laughs, let's take a look at @akkitwts. All tweets are sent via the Android app, and the tweet timings don't suggest automation. However. . .

As one might expect of a #resistance account, @akkitwts posts a variety of tweets opposing the Trump administration, many of which have been posted verbatim before. This dedication to plagiarism could indicate automation, but could also be copy/paste - hard to be certain.

Yes, @akkitwts even duplicates tweets with spelling/grammar errors. #fewer

How exactly did @akkitwts get so many followers in a short time? Based on the replies to this deleted #FBRParty tweet (account appears to delete tweets periodically), it's been holding FBR parties but not bothering to follow back at least some of its new followers.

Lastly, reverse image search demonstrates that this probably ain't @akkitwts first rodeo. At least two previous accounts, possibly three (@akshaywritx, @AkkiJ_, and maybe @Akki7875) using the same picture once existed but are presently suspended.
