People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

It's the power of propaganda. These people didn't get to this position naturally, they got there because of the billionaire funded propagandists undermining trust in the experts because they are saying "climate change is a huge problem, we need to regulate these oil companies" and "hey, we need to miss out on profits and quarantine for the public good".

Ever wonder why conservatives hate the EPA? A government agency that should be the least controversial around? Yeah, it's because billionaires can make more money dumping toxic waste into the public water supply than responsible disposal. So attack the agency preventing that as being too liberal.

The Koch's, Murdock, she the Mercers have fucked over multiple nations.
