@JUNlPER Yeah and in half the country they never “locked down” or even closed anything. They never even stopped indoor dining in the majority of places. For right wingers “lock down” just means “being reminded there’s an ongoing pandemic and mass death” — PolitiTweet.org

I sound like an unserious little girl says right wing media outlet publishing a “naughty list” and arguing that I “deserve coal in my stocking” https://t.co/tlW6EpPecr — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@WalkerBragman All of this is stuff mainstream disinfo reporters should be covering. So many nefarious figures and shady orgs accepting $$. Covid denialism is the through-line and the on ramp to so much radicalization, but disinfo reporters continue to largely ignore it https://t.co/focd3aHdxh — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@KatzOnEarth yeah — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Yes, many of these figures promoting Covid minimizing/denialism have deep financial ties to far right interest groups, something @WalkerBragman has been reporting on extensively https://t.co/0Az6Izd6RB — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Doctors, scientists & PH officials attempting to warn the public abt the dangers of the virus have had their entire accounts suspended, sometimes permanently. But the media only frets when anti vaxxers and far right figures like GBD authors are throttled https://t.co/jTmared74z — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Ironically, over the past year as Dems adopted the principles of the far right GBD, & as the majority of the media has adopted far right framing on Covid, Twitter began banning scientists and MDs for sharing factual info about the ongoing dangers of Covid https://t.co/jTmarevgiH — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Twitter hasn't done a good job of policing public health stuff but Bhattacharya has not simply "dissented from public health orthodoxy" Great Barrington Declaration is tied w the anti-vaxx movement, pushes dangerous anti-science heard immunity, which costs lives during a pandemic https://t.co/VbRkJ1D755 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@awprokop @EricLevitz it's part of a broader anti vaxx network and is inherently anti public health and anti vaxx by pushing the idea of herd immunity (which does not exist for a disease like Covid) https://t.co/RwPZCiZ3ys — PolitiTweet.org

“All these people who are booing, and I’m just pointing out the obvious, you have terrible seats,” Chappelle said, apparently trying to save Musk’s dignity by calling the people who are booing poor. https://t.co/3UGAa6oOyc — PolitiTweet.org

@taymargot @thekeysai hi! I'm a reporter working on a story about a similar product to Keys and I'd love to chat with you for this piece too if you have 10 min to spare today! Could you DM me your best contact number? 🙏🏻 Hope to chat with you — PolitiTweet.org

@TomCruise_69 exactly, which is why many of the top creators were rich to begin with. But the dream of being a full time creator is sold to people w/o means, which is why they often create content for free for a long time before burning out — PolitiTweet.org

@audibleonion oh totally, and gig workers are exploited in a myriad of other ways. Just saying you don't sign up for Uber and give rides for free for years hoping that one day they'll allow you to charge for them — PolitiTweet.org

Totally agree with the crux of @diaryofaneditor smart thread though! Pivoting to video content requires resources that posting on Twitter doesn't, and I think having robust text-based social media is really important — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Ppl make this comparison a lot, but it's not really quite equivalent. Gig workers actually have more stability than content creators (which says a lot bc gig workers are hugely exploited). For example, you don't drive for Uber for free for a year hoping to one day get monetized — PolitiTweet.org

We're in an ongoing pandemic and both parties have fully abdicated any responsibility for the mass death/disability they've wrought on (primarily vulnerable) ppl. Covid denialism is the through-line & on ramp to so much radicalization, but disinfo reporters continue to ignore it — PolitiTweet.org
