All of these Oklahoma Board of Education members fell for an inauthentically organized disinformation campaign spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and its assorted tools, and they're using it to push their own racist agendas. It's been astroturfed for this exact reason.
Please start reporting on this responsibly, reporters. If you don't, you're promulgating deeply divisive, weaponized disinformation campaigns that do not reflect the reality of the United States and that means you're a shitty journalist not doing your job. See my pinned tweet.
Well, thread. It's a whole ass thread. Then check out the hashtag #TantonNetwork, which I have been curating for years specifically for some bullshit like this. It's the same shit every time. It's the same people every time. The only thing that changes is the topic.
This is an attack on the United States, and the idea is to convince us that democracy does not work and that fascism and nationalism is the only answer. Don't fall for it. Fight back! Call it out!

This is what led up to the Capitol tantrum as well. The dates kept getting moved and as they did, the weaponized rhetoric got cranked up more and more until discussions in groups weren't about whether to kill "pedos" or "antifa" but how to do it best.
Seeing coordinated events all over the USA for this Saturday the 17th and finding it notable as they're appearing along with a major uptick in violent and aggressive disinfo and toxic political rhetoric; there will likely be activity at established hotspots. Be careful out there.
omg it's the whackadoodle mothership and it's touching down in Anaheim
