“Talia” was also the source of the story that claimed Trump had miss-colored the American flag during a school visit on Aug. 25. Looks more like a Brock-type operation.

McDonagh said he found the account suspicious due to its “high follower count, highly polarized and yet inconsistent political messaging, the unusually high rate of tweets, and the use of someone else’s image in the profile photo.”

Molly McKew, an information warfare researcher who saw the tweet and shared it herself on Saturday, said she later realized that a network of anonymous accounts were working to amplify the video.

Justin Wise from the Hill twice reported that this this took place at The Indigenous Peoples March. When the group came by bus very likely provided by the school to show up for the March For Life rally which is where this occurred.

What is "blue tick"?

My best guess: Blue as in Leftist + Tick as in bloodsucker?

“blue tick” should be blue check I believe.

It’s a reference to a “VERIFIED” twitter account. I don’t use Twitter, but my understanding is that famous folks have verified accounts so you know it’s the actual person.

So there are 1,000 fake Trump twitter accounts, but only one real POTUS account with the check.

It’s a symbol of some status and acceptance on the site as having the check removed is a downgrade in some way. Needless to say, a bunch of conservatives got de-checked last year when big tech went after ALL conservatives on social media.

My first experience with Twitter was when some CongressCritter holed up in the Capitol posting from behind the barricades, so to speak. It was thrilling to follow. How sad that the little message service became another bulwark of people protecting people from themselves.

If you weren’t on Usenet, especially during the Whitewater affair, you don’t know the fresh air of unfettered discourse we breathed back then.

Freedom is a relative thing. Those who reach some form of maturity clinging to shackles they have never lived without, experience an ersatz freedom. Billy Beck Jr said it best. We’re like a prisoner standing in the middle of his cell, shouting out through the bars, “I’m free! I’m free!”

It’s fortunate some of us at had a fling in the 1960s because we’ve been in lockdown for the last twenty years.

"Deliberate attempts to manipulate the public conversation on Twitter by using misleading account information is a violation of the Twitter Rules," a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill.

Right. Because posting fraudulent information and slander is NOT against Twitter's ToS. Just having some fake profile info...

Phillips is one strange Indigen. A coup stick and a tom tom in the 21st century? ROTFL. I know it impresses the white chicks but geez. The boy needs to pull himself out of the stone age and get with the program.
