This is what I mean by the #TantonNetwork, because this is it.

They also use these networks to harass journalists and editors and threaten to sue over stories they don't like. They're why Americans have a distorted view of the border.

And now you know.

Here was another #TantonNetwork special, back in 2014. Remember this? Same people. sandiegouniontribune.com/news/border-ba…
Like I said last night, these networks have operated largely out of sight of much of the American public, because their whole thing has been "population control," focused publicly on ending immigration and hardening the border.
I've been trying to protect the rest of the country from their nonsense, because they've had exponentially more power and funding since the Trump administration brought them into the federal government. That's why I've been so alarmed and angry.
2010. You bet your ass it's the same old #TantonNetwork latimes.com/archives/la-xp…
Actually, here. This is all you need. (From 2013)

And this specifically calls out the Heritage Foundation as part of the Tanton network. (2014) adl.org/news/article/f…
That's right. The #TantonNetwork is all grown up now. They're not just the border bullies I once stared down in the desert. They've gone big time now and merged into the global far right.
A global, far right power grab characterized by stunts and optics, strengthened by white supremacist techbros and their data mining and algorithms, hardening borders ahead of a projected climate meltdown. That's the #TantonNetwork.
This is also why so much of the disinfo from Trump and his enablers was demonizing immigrants. It was all in the service of "population control." But there are patterns to what they do, which is how I can predict so much of it. I know it like the back of my fuckin hand.

Hey, so you know how @Heritage is currently subjecting Americans to a weaponized disinformation attack about critical race theory and what those hysterics have decided it is? Here's a related 2018 story. #TantonNetwork

They've been trying this far right horseshit for a long long time. nytimes.com/2019/08/14/us/…

We tried to warn you this would happen, @Mike_Pence. We were trying to protect you, not that you deserve it. But you had to fuck around and find out. Enjoy what you helped unleash.
No quarter for disinformation purveyors.

T o l d y o u the #TantonNetwork had their greasy little fingers up in all the critical race theory pies.
This is also what they always do. They are such vile little creeps. That's why I have been warning about them for so long. For years, they were mostly pulling this shit at the border, mostly out of sight of the rest of the country and even regional reporters not on that beat.
Now you also probably see why I come out swinging a lot of the time also. No one should ever have to be subjected to this shit for their reporting.

You all now see the exact point of this fucked disinformation campaign, yes?
While everybody was arguing over whether or not we should allow CRT in schools because they fell for a fucking Heritage Foundation disinformation op, Ron DeSantis was doing this when he wasn't flying to San Diego to gin up the marks mycbs4.com/news/local/gov…
