Meet @FrankGalvin9, @JazzyLife3, and @qxzito1, a trio of accounts tweeting oddly identical commentary on the #coronavirus crisis and other topics on oddly identical schedules. A lot of left-leaning accounts are following them, btw.

Although these three accounts theoretically post all their tweets via the Twitter website or Android phone app, we suspect the website tweets (Twitter Web App/Client) are actually automated, as all three activate in sync every morning and tweet the same content.
Did we mention that @FrankGalvin9, @JazzyLife3, and @qxzito1 tweet the same content a lot? 3193 tweets have been tweeted verbatim by all three accounts (sometime more than once); 621 more were tweeted by at least two.
Do these accounts use stolen photos? At least one of them does - @FrankGalvin9's profile pic has appeared on multiple websites, although it has been flipped horizontally in a possible effort by the operator to disguise the origins of the image.
One more pattern: nearly all of @FrankGalvin9, @JazzyLife3, and @qxzito1's tweets were processed by the same Twitter datacenter, a possible indicator that the three accounts are all being run from the same location/Internet connection.
(more on how datacenter/server information is encoded in tweet IDs here)
