I don't think I'll be able to include EVERYONE that has been the subject of MAGA inspired death threats, but I thought I'd at least give it a shot. The radicalization of our fellow Americans continues...
2/ It's important to understand how they use labels to target ppl. Ron DeSantis' crusade against "woke" is even dumber than it looks, but the buzzwords, "satanic", "antifa", "communist", "terrorist" etc. are how they incite violence. It's not just "other-ing".
3/ #MikeFlynn is someone who knows a thing or two about religious radicalization. He spent the better part of his career fighting it before turning traitor against the constitution.
4/ @Jen_Senko did an excellent documentary on how right wing media uses authoritative hypnosis techniques on their captive audience to cultivate grievance, condition hostility, and deliberately spread misinformation.
5/ @jimstewartson is still banned from Twitter for swearing, but his work in exposing how military psy-ops techniques are in fact being used against our own people is excellent.
6/ So who has been targeted of these fascist, politically violent tactics? It's a long f*cking list, and you will not be surprised to learn, it's hardly ever real "communists", "antifa", or "terrorists".
Type "MAGA death threats _______" into Google. It's all there.
9/ Election workers.
Oddly, most journalism failed to pick up the "MAGA" tag and add it to their reporting. Trump supporters use that acronym to self-identify, and to mark things they approve of. Everything trump is also "MAGA".
This means "Republicans In Name Only". If you are not loyal to the fürher you are a phony, if not a betrayer, according to the #MAGACult leaders and influencers.
14/ Now it's possible to argue that Republicans didn't build this Frankenstein's Monster, but they have fed that fire and weaponized those conditioned responses from their supporters every step of the way, to include trying to overthrow the constitution on #January6th.
15/ The irony of DeSantis talking about Florida not becoming a #WokeDumpsterFire on his watch is pretty f'n thick.
16/ @jennycohn1 has been doing some excellent reporting, not just on election integrity, but also on the theocratic roots of this violent extremist movement in America.
20/ Even large corporations who don't go along with the MAGA/neo nazi agenda are not safe. Lest we forget that burning shoes and throwing away razors led to an increase in foot maladies and neck beards. 🤔
21/ But I think it's also important to look at who NEVER gets threatened by MAGA, despite their professed Christianity, Pro-freedom-ness, and Patriotism.
22/ ...tax cheats, real estate developers, money launderers, polluters, literal Nazis, tobacco companies, prostitutes, insurance companies, domestic terrorists, their own prolific list of sex offenders...
Almost as if it's the mafia or something.

Thread🧵 1/ James O'Keefe is the creator of #ProjectVeritas, and he has been sued, charged with crimes, and been under a federal investigation for his "journalism". So, right now he's f-ing around with @mcuban
and he's about to find out. Again.

2/ "James Edward O'Keefe III (born June 28, 1984) is an American political activist who...uses deceptively edited videos and information gathering techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups."
3/ "In 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing #ProjectVeritas's use of spies recruited by #ErikPrince to infiltrate "Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda".
1/ Short thread🧵
Florida's waterways are so dead and toxic, you can see it from space. If you've never seen how vast and interconnected florida's waterways are, you can't fathom how massive the problem is. It was not like this 25 years ago.

2/ If the midwest is America's bread basket, The Everglades Agricultural Area is it's sugar bowl. Sugar Farming in FL has destroyed hundreds of sq. miles of wetlands and estuaries, and their corruption is only outsized by the amount of subsidies they get.
3/ Phosphate mining is how chemical fertilizer is mass-produced. It involves strip mining, and creating gigantic toxic radioactive waste piles called "gyp stacks". #PineyPoint is a gyp stack. They want to use the waste to build #RadioactiveRoads.
"Saved the country from COVID. Saved us from economic collapse. Record jobs created. Record low unemployment. Record GDP growth. Lowest inflation in the world. Outpacing China for first time in half a century. Biggest infrastructure bill..."
1/ Short thread. 🧵
@NPR and @FloodlightNews just ran an article on @peterschorschFL for running a multi-million dollar pay-for-play blog that presents itself as a news site. Him and @Fla_Pol have me blocked for posting these screen shots.

2/ It's a campaign finance violation to not have a "paid for by" disclaimer on campaign ads. Someone should look into that. "In 2006, the Florida Elections Commission fined him nearly $68,000 for 40 counts of "willfully" violating the election code."
3/ @peterschorschFL even admits that he's not a journalist, but calls himself a "publisher", engaging in what he calls "combination journalism." Really he's just being blatantly dishonest, and borderline fraudulent.
