Meet @FellowGoy, a mostly-automated "Honkler"/"Clown Pepe" account that recently canceled its support for the #YangGang in an automated fashion.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
The majority of @FellowGoy's tweets are automated via IFTTT, with a smattering of tweets posted via dlvr(dot)it as well as some potentially organic tweets by way of the Twitter website.
Most of @FellowGoy's automated tweets consist of links to dubious news sites with the headline copied. All the news sources are far-right Western sites (some new to us) with the exception of Russia Insider (which has publicly solicited submissions of anti-Semitic content.)
What does @FellowGoy's content look like overall? Major themes: white people, Trump, immigration, war, Jews, and nationalism - the account is basically a gallery of expected alt-right/white nationalist tropes. #AltWankers

In the wake of the attacks on Andy Ngo at yesterday's counterdemonstration against the Proud Boys in Portland, the claim that the thrown milkshakes contained quick-drying cement has circulated widely on right-wing Twitter.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
As far as we can tell, the sole basis for the "cement milkshakes" story is this tweet from @PortlandPolice, which indicates they received one or more reports but doesn't confirm that any such thing actually took place.
We downloaded tweets containing "milkshake" or "milkshakes" and "cement", "concrete", or "chemical". The traffic takes off very suddenly and appears largely non-automated.

We started looking at this; initial dataset (which we'll expand) is tweets containing "KamalaHarris" or @KamalaHarris and "not black". It doesn't look like a botnet, but it also doesn't look like it began organically. . .

cc: @ZellaQuixote
Here are the first 20 accounts with tweets containing @KamalaHarris/"Kamala Harris" and "not black" from the beginning of the debate. It didn't spread by retweets (at least) at first; all of these accounts appear to have more or less simultaneously come up with the same idea.
Retweet network for @KamalaHarris/"Kamala Harris" and "not black". Despite the volume, the activity attacking Harris is almost invisible, because the accounts aren't for the most part retweeting each other. Coordination somewhere other than public Twitter is a solid hypothesis.

Whilst looking at post-debate hashtags (specifically #LetYangSpeak), we happened upon an interesting bot: @cooperativeness. At first glance the tweets look plausibly human, but it posts 24/7 via a custom app. Also, the profile pic is stolen.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
All but 18 of @cooperativeness's 12K tweets were tweeted via custom software called "From My Computer". As far as we can tell, this is the only account using this tool. Currently it tweets every 55 minutes, although the rate has varied and it goes dormant periodically.
What does @cooperativeness tweet about, and how does it decide? The wordcloud built from its tweets consists mostly of common words that don't point to a specific subject matter, and hashtags are a mix of things that have trended at varying points in time.

Holy shit. They did it. The crazy bastards did it. @MSNBC created a graphic with photos of the 20 candidates to appear in the first debates, and they actually went so far as to remove @AndrewYang and include someone who didn't even qualify. This is shameless in how brazen it is.
Looks like we made enough noise, #YangGang. @AndrewYang has been unerased by @MSNBC (and @marwilliamson too). #Yang2020
Good Lord. @MSNBC just can't help themselves. In the latest example, they include his photo in a list of top 8, and manage to read every name but @AndrewYang's??

31% of American workers would be unable to cover basic living expenses after missing a single paycheck. Missing two would lead to over half the country being unable to meet their basic needs without relying on savings or debt.

Economists and politicians love to ignore stuff like this and instead focus on the employment rate. Half the friggin country is economically insecure despite being employed. Most Americans are spending most of their time just trying to survive another month.

We're bailing water.
Not only does this level of insecurity lead to stress and the physiological consequences of stress, it also makes us mostly unable to really think much about anything else. Climate change? Ha, yeah right. What matters is eating tomorrow, not the long-term survival of our species.

"Those who will not even admit the Capitalist problem deserve to get the Communist solution." - G.K. Chesterton

Most boomers in the 60-75 or so age bracket fail to understand how terrible the economy has gotten for young people. So, a thread. /1
My grandfather was born in 1928. He served in Korea and was educated on the G.I. Bill upon his return, earning a teaching certificate and Master's degree in Animal Husbandry.

His wife stayed at home with their two children while he taught and farmed. /2
On one teacher's salary they were able to acquire a home and 120 acres. He had no debt by the time he was 50 or so. He later added 80 more acres and inherited his father's 120 acres. His father only farmed (no other job).

So... /3

History lesson THREAD:

In 1607 the American first settlers arrived in Jamestown. They operated under a system called mercantilism - a sort of mixed socialist/capitalist economy.

Private businesses made a profit, but operated for the advancement of the state.
The colonists set up a common storehouse of food. They were supposed to produce what they could, and take what they needed.

In short order, the whole damn thing collapsed.

People noticed their neighbors weren't working as hard, but were reaping the same benefits.
Half of the colonists starved to death in two years.

NOW: Here's where history is about to repeat itself in America.

You've seen the #YangGang hashtag pop up. Some people are ironically supporting Yang - but others are quite serious.

/pol/tards clinging to dead meme already formulating cope russian bots narrative of "discord trannies" memeing yang gang. Clearly the tide is turning.
Trump was just a proof of concept for disrupting the party system. Yang has a better shot of doing this than any other candidate this time, as he has no political background or blackmail on him. He's untouchable. It'll be even better when he's accused of having "nazi fans."
It's impossible for his platform to be considered pernicious in any way. It's totally anathema to the ruling order & is much better planned than Trump's proposals- none of which he fulfilled.

Meet #Israel's #Hasbara, which means #Propaganda, MSM Censorship Application👇🤨
This app came out about last year, and it is still on the iTunes store.
The app posts daily missions & TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO SAY
#Trolls #Palestine #Gaza #BDS #JeremyCorbyn #JC4PM
6yrs ago #Jerusalem, #IDF Rep:
"we are now located in the SAME building where the Foreign Journalists are,we have close working relationships w/ hundreds of journalists. In addition we launched media project working in many platforms,twitter in Arabic, Russian, French & English."
How #Israel-i Propaganda (#Hasbara) Works: #TheLuntzDocument
If you want to understand how the #propaganda works you need to read the Luntz document -- "The Key," Luntz says, "is the Claim that the Fight is Over Ideology, Not Land. About Terror, & Not Territory."
