“The similarities between Gamergate & the far-right online movement…are…in no way a coincidence…Steve Bannon had a hand in creating…Milo Yiannopoulos, who built his fame & Twitter following by supporting and cheerleading Gamergate.” 12/1/16 1/ theguardian.com/technology/201…
Gamergate, as I understand it, was an online harassment campaign against women gamers. The proponents of Gamergate attacked in swarms, using death threats & doxing 2 terrorize their targets who fled their homes. This apparently provided the basis 4 the MAGA movement’s tactics. 2/
.@radicalizedpod did a fascinating episode on how the MAGA movement apparently evolved from Gamergate. You can watch here. cc: @Heidi_Cuda 3/

Mike Lindell is a grifter & an empty suit. But @RawStory itself falsely claims that if the voting machines themselves don’t connect to the internet, “the ‘hacker’ wld have to go to each electronic voting machine in each polling place in every state.” 1/ rawstory.com/thanks-a-thon-…
In fact, @RawStory’s claim is one of the original (since debunked) lies that drew me to election security advocacy in the first place, as I wrote here. 2/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…
If you want something shorter, I wrote this a few years ago. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/all-voting-mac…

“Biden’s Global Democracy Summit Raises an Awkward Question: Can Ours Endure? In the past year, the prospects for improving American democracy have dimmed considerably.” By @suehalpernVT, 11/30/21 1/ newyorker.com/news/daily-com… via @NewYorker
2/ “In March, …, Freedom House, a democracy-watchdog group, ranked the state of democracy in the US well below that in Chile, Costa Rica, & Slovakia, citing gerrymandering, the influence of money in politics, and the disenfranchisement of people of color…”
“‘A change of president is not gonna make [these issues] go away,’ Sarah Repucci, the group’s VP for research and analysis, told the Guardian at the time.” Indeed, in the months since Biden took office, the prospects for improving American democracy have dimmed considerably.” 3/

“In an email he sent Aug. 18, 2016, to Bannon under the subject line, ‘Congratulations,’ Stone wrote, ‘Trump can still win — but time is running out. Early voting begins in six weeks. I do know how to win this but it ain’t pretty… 1/ buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
…Campaign has never been good at playing the new media. Lots to do — let me know when u can talk.’

Bannon responded, ‘Let’s talk ASAP.’” 2/

“Trump Commerce Dept. official Adam Hageman,” a former employee of @charliekirk11’s @TPUSA, which has partnered w/ #Pizzagater Jack Posobiec, has been credibly “accused of ‘sharing a child pornography video & commenting…on sexually abusing children.’” 1/thedailyedge.substack.com/p/gop-gang-of-…
Article by @TheDailyEdge 2/
Adam Hageman didn’t act as a lone wolf either. It’s an alleged child pornography ring involving firmer GOP staffer/ RNC aide Ruben Verastigui. 3/ politico.com/news/2021/07/0…

Anyone know where this photo of Frank Scavo (who organized buses on January 6 & has ties to Bannon & the #MAGAMoonies) came from? Tony Schaffer is pretty high up the food chain for a low life like Scavo. It’s odd. 1/ rightwingwatch.org/post/pennsylva…
The photo was posted by @RightWingWatch, but it doesn’t say where it came from. Also, who is the guy in the middle? 2/
Here’s my article on Scavo. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/what-did-steve…
