Me trying to scrape a locked down Instagram and it's live on their damn Twitter.

Did a reverse image search that took me to Reddit... 
Oh oops they didn't take down the Substack either.

Now this is where it gets fun because this is where this group gets involved with the 50501 (No Kings) movement, which is where the story intersects with Joan Donovan.
Archive btw: archive.ph/uHp45
Joan (top) is the one who spoke with the LA Times on September 12th and said that the writings on the bullet casings were OBVIOUSLY something groyper-related.
Her reasoning is that everything is the opposite of what it looks like. I mean literally everything.

Joan is a disinformation expert, and has worked alongside the likes of Adam Schiff and Nina Jankowicz to decipher meme culture and to make suggestions for restrictions on election-related speech.
Here's a meeting she held with Schiff and Jankowicz on Oct 15, 2020, titled, 'Misinformation, Conspiracy Theories, and ‘Infodemics’: Stopping the Spread Online.'
And she's an expert and well-respected in her field, and she says Groyper, then it must be, yes?

Except Joan Donovan organizes for the left as well. She participated in No Kings protests, and with the earlier-on Tesla protests.
So I do find it a little suspect that the first person to be reached out to happens to be the person whose political leanings AND participation would directly stand to benefit by planting subversive and completely incorrect information.
Well well well indeed.
To this very minute, anyone who tells you Charlie's murderer is a right-winger is passing along a disseminated version of Joan's talking points.
Now of course it's not like this is something that would be overtly stated.
But, to take a leaf out of her own book, sometimes things are in fact not what they appear. And are backwards on purpose.

J'Accuse...!
Oh not to mention the funding she got for a while from Berkeley's CITRIS labs. Forgot about that.
Joan has a long-standing and vested interest in portraying right-wingers as violent and propagandists. Using videos of riots to foment anger.
Gee thanks Joan!
"When Kyle Rittenhouse shot and murdered protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, it wasn’t just the act of a lone vigilante; it was a direct consequence of white militia groups’ organizing on social media."
Again, this is the person who is cited internet-wide as the expert who knows for a FACT that those engraved bullets were done so entirely in ironic fashion.
She also has it out for @MrAndyNgo and @ElijahSchaffer, or at least she did in 2020.
@MrAndyNgo @ElijahSchaffer Andy seems to dislike Joan's dishonesty as much as I do, which is refreshing. I'm usually yelling into the void about her.

@MrAndyNgo @ElijahSchaffer In that same MIT Technology Review about right-wing violence, Joan characterizes Conservatives driving their trucks as violence and simultaneously is extremely dismissive of a member of the Patriot Prayer group being murdered in Portland.

@MrAndyNgo @ElijahSchaffer This is a long and meandering thread.
TLDR: The Armed Queers group had a noted interest in Turning Point USA in 2023. The overlap between Joan and that group occurred this year during No Kings protests. And Joan is a big FAT liar.

@MrAndyNgo @ElijahSchaffer I mean the biggest, fattest liar I've ever seen really.

@MrAndyNgo @ElijahSchaffer @threadreaderapp unroll
@MrAndyNgo @ElijahSchaffer @threadreaderapp Oh if you wanted the link to the Joan/Jankowicz/Schiff hearing from 2020, it's a real trip:
@MrAndyNgo @ElijahSchaffer @threadreaderapp Oh and sorry one more note, the part about Chloe and Turning Point USA was in a different thread, which is below. Sorry I've been writing a bit disjointedly.
