This thread I'm doing now & the paste piece focuses on people with large reach & big megaphones or who are at least part of the (4/?)

ecosystem of Resistance Twitter. Also shout out to @ANON_LLC who I didn't realize had used & written about the term #AltWoke before (5/?)

we do. Also, prep for really stupid accusations of working for Russia, of using Right Wing talking points, though they themselves (17/?)

share talking points with Donald Trump & Henry Kissinger, not that they even pretend to know or care about Kissinger. OK. So, back to (18/?)

the gems. Here is an antisemitic cartoon made by #altRIght cartoonist Glenn McCoy that Sally Albright tweeted & turned into a moment. (19/?)
