[Always Antifascist @RoseCityAntifa]

Hey, @MSNBC and @nytimes, here's a very long thread of Joey Gibson, founder of Patriot Prayer, hanging out with and promoting Nazis at Patriot Prayer events. Oh, and congratulations on basically platforming an anti-vaxxer during a pandemic. https://t.co/PinBgJ6OyP

[New York City Antifa @NYCAntifa]

Protesters cannot even walk in the street without people justifying vehicular murder or attacks against them.

[Arun Gupta All Hail Our Insect Overlord @arunindy]

Sounds like some place vaguely familiar.

[IREHR @IREHR]

In wake of Portland shooting, Oath Keepers declares "Civil war is here, right now." Conditions are ripe for an escalation of far right militia violence.

[Black Rose/Rosa Negra @BRRN_Fed]

A good entry point resource on how we can all fight against organized fascism. ✊🏽#Antifa

[Christopher Mathias @letsgomathias]

why NYT why? we've gone over this so many times. you don't just take far-right groups' description of themselves at face value. you accurately describe Patriot Prayer as a far-right group yes, but their sole function is neo-fascist street violence not promoting Christianity

[North London Antifa @NorthLondonAF]

Absolutely wild that 'antifa' has gone from simply a nickname for niche European anti-fascist groups to 'ANTIFA', a singular evil bogeyman in the eyes of the US far-right.
We're seeing the distortion of facts in real time, Trump needs an enemy to galvanise his supporters against.

@shanebugbee @SATAN1CSTR1PPER antifa_us was a fake account, race-baiting is not ok duh

[Antifa Checker @AntifaChecker]

looks like it's already suspended but since we got a lot of questions about it: yes, ANTIFA_US was fake, y'all. race-baiting is a common tactic of these fake accounts

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

There are several scripts circulating the internet to wane down U.S. public anger and cut support for those in the streets.

1. Claim external forces are responsible.
2. Racial division "I saw white people start it".
3. Pushing the "vote for x instead" campaign.

[Newsweek @Newsweek]

Police officer who funded "violent" activities by far-right Proud Boys group goes unpunished https://t.co/mgVMSZpGj1

[Antifa Checker @AntifaChecker]

@mattpinochet Because people like to spread misinformation.

[AntiFash Gordon @AntiFashGordon]

“Trigger” Tom Christensen, the President of the Chicago Proud Boys, just got convicted of stabbing someone, and we should probably be talking about this more.

[Antifa Checker @AntifaChecker]

@Soft__Trash @NaziBlocker honestly feels like a waste of time if you try to go for them all manually or on your own -- there's no end to them. it's a systemic failure in twitter's policies.

like, this account is incredibly narrow in scope (fake antifa accounts), or else it would probably be unmanageable.
