ELECTION PSA
If you are in line to vote and your state’s polls close (ex. Illinois closes at 7PM CST), do not get out of line! They are REQUIRED to let you stay in line and vote.
Don’t let anyone convince you that your vote doesn’t matter. Your voice, especially those of you in a swing state, matters greatly for the future of our country.
#election 2024#us elections#usa election#United States of America#presidential election#election day#and if you’re inclined vote blue 🙂#the last time I posted about the election I went viral and received death threats in 2020#I might be a lowly fanfiction writer but I have a goddamn brain and two degrees and I know how to use it#kamala harris

making my own post because nobody needs my bullshit on their post:
OP:
Reblog 1:
Reblog 2:
My response:
The IRA blogs were here and they were active and they were quite popular; their posting patterns did not match normal tumblr users (i was followed by lagonegirl and followed back only to be put off by the account reblogging the same five or ten posts every hour for a day before selecting another five or ten posts to reblog hourly the next day - it was clear engagement bait).
Tumblr has never been as transparent about these accounts as both Twitter and Facebook were, but several of the accounts had shared names across platforms and you can find a significant amount of data that was released by both facebook (ex: ads purchased by the IRA accounts) and twitter (over three million tweets from IRA accounts). Academic researchers have published papers on the data released from facebook and twitter. Several papers. So many papers. Soooooo many papers. We have a LOT of direct evidence that you can explore for yourself that there were hundreds (possibly thousands) of IRA accounts that were created on Facebook and Twitter. Of those accounts, some shared usernames across platforms, and of those accounts, a few had tumblr accounts that posted the same content on twitter and tumblr.
To quote a buzzfeed news article from the time:
The Russian-run Tumblr accounts used the same, or very similar, usernames as the account names contained on a list of confirmed IRA accounts Twitter submitted to congressional investigators. In some cases, the Tumblr and Twitter account has the same profile image or linked to each other in their bios. Some IRA Tumblrs and Twitter accounts also cross-promoted content between platforms, further linking them together.
Current tumblr user @ alwaysbewoke (who I don't want to tag because I'm sure he's got better things to do) is interviewed in that article and talks about following one of the blogs identified by tumblr as an IRA blog that had a matching account on twitter identified as an IRA account but unfollowing when the left-leaning blog supposedly run by a black creator started rooting for trump in the election.
Dr. Jonathan Albright is heavily quoted in the article; the data review he collaborated on is one of the only reviews of this subject that includes data from Tumblr and Reddit.
One of the claims that I've seen is that tumblr just deleted funny black people, but these were blogs with thousands of followers on tumblr who never recreated, never popped up on another social media site, never started a reddit account after getting banned; nobody ever showed up saying "hey this is 4mysquad, I got banned on tumblr and twitter, follow me to pillowfort". These very popular blogs got deleted and, as far as I know, nobody ever popped up claiming to be a person who was deleted - and it's not like tumblr users haven't figured out how to evade bans.
What you are doing when you make posts saying that the IRA accounts on tumblr never existed is *absolving tumblr of guilt for their utter lack of transparency.*
Tumblr is not the only tech company that has tried to fly under the radar as its larger counterparts face regular scrutiny in Congress and in the press. Earlier this month, Reddit revealed it too had deleted hundreds of accounts with ties to the Internet Research Agency. A WIRED investigation found more than a thousand links to Russian propaganda websites are still live on Reddit, and unearthed two suspicious accounts that Reddit immediately shut down.
So should you believe what Tumblr says? No, because Tumblr has been functionally fucking silent on this issue and the information about this subject aside from the list of blogs has come from the hard work of data scientists, journalists, and researchers.
(For the record; some of those bot accounts that were recorded by Dr. Albright also had Google+ accounts in 2017 - there is every possibility that they had myspace accounts).
Now, the reason that I'm popping onto this post as an annoyed anarchist is that I was tracking a similar group of blogs for a while and was discussing them and I stopped precisely because of the galaxy-brained liberals who are now trying to dunk on communists for criticizing electoralism. One of the people who was following my project was one of the ones who started calling out the "joe biden kills dogs" posts as disinfo and I realized they were using some of the guidelines I'd written up to "identify" misinformation and that is very a rock fucking stupid approach to what was clearly a leftist making jokes and was horrified and realized there was no way that I could continue documenting what I was documenting without someone attempting to call actual leftists russian bots.
I've seen the post that OP is referencing [it's one where someone makes a very obvious joke about the democrat presidential ticket and people jump on to call them a bot and then someone tries to do the "AI tell me a story" thing and OP is just like "I don't want to :(", proving that they are in fact a person and not an AI] and have deeply enjoyed the humor of watching liberals a) not understand a very, VERY obvious joke and b) become the unwitting butt of a joke they were trying to make, but also I am so exhausted by watching normie dems call leftists AI bots after years of watching normie dems call real live actual leftists who hold actual political views that real people actually have, like prison abolition, russian bots.
But I am also so fucking tired of left conspiracism and how stupid it sounds when leftists dismiss a preponderance of evidence that is easily accessible and publicly available for analysis as "lol so you just trust everything tumblr tells you?"
No, dipshit, learn to click a fucking link or twelve.
#because i have to clarify before somebody calls *me* a bot: i vote as harm reduction#I've voted in every presidential election since 2004#i voted dem in 2016 and 2020 even though i loathed the candidates for a number of reasons#so don't blue no matter who me#and maybe after the election try doing some jail support

Boy I can't wait for another four years of being blamed for white women voting for Trump when like. It's cishet white Christian women. It is a specific demographic. We know this.
But yeah, let's shame your local white lesbians for not... somehow converting their homophobic transphobic moms. This will save democracy. I'm already exhausted.
#just genuinely crazy how many people are like 'DID YOU TALK TO THE WHITE WOMEN IN YOUR FAMILY???'#why do you think that would help#do you not think any of us tried in 2016 or 2020?#did that fucking help???#the solution isn't converting these weird fucks in our family#it's getting more goddamn people to vote#and it's so fucking crazy that no one is focusing on that#I know other demographics are also being blamed#but after four years of seeing this once… seeing it crop up again…#people will genuinely blame progressive people for being in a primarily republican demographic#and not somehow talking all of their shitty relatives into voting blue#what family do you live in where that seems possible#leftists believe in original sin but identity-based#if you’re not constantly and loudly repenting you are responsible#apparently

I'm not sure if there is a cure for Trumpnesia, but there are treatments.
This is what Trump was saying at CNBC the day after the first case of COVID-19 appeared in the US.
Trump dawdled while the virus spread throughout the US. He continued to claim it wasn't a big deal.
The spectacle of the Dow Jones plummeting on March 12th could jar a memory or two. It signaled the start of the Trump recession.
On the following day, Friday the 13th, Trump belatedly declared a state of emergency.
In April he held daily media events where he gave out bad medical advice. If he had been a doctor, that would have gotten him charged with malpractice. He first told viewers to take malaria medicine for COVID. [Malaria is a parasitic disease while COVID is a virus.] He then suggested that people stick UV lights up their butts. And he famously told people to drink bleach. This t-shirt was a reaction to that...
All that year he downplayed COVID-19 as the US death toll and infection rate skyrocketed.
Timeline: How Trump Has Downplayed The Coronavirus Pandemic
It's true that the virus spread everywhere. But the United States had the highest death rate per million of any G7 country. Only Boris "Partygate" Johnson's UK came close.
Reminders of Trump's disastrous last year in office can temporarily keep Trumpnesia at bay. But frequent boosters are a necessity.

For the record I think people who aren't voting to be much worse and dangerous for democracy at large than people who protest vote.

It's somewhat amazing I originally posted this four years ago today.
But since you can't vote her, vote the next best option today, I beg you.

I feel it's a bit ironic that the vote blue no matter who crowd are calling people who are considering withholding their vote from Biden (bc of what he's doing in the middle east) "selfish and individualistic" bc if i vote for biden again it will be for selfish and individualistic reasons.
If i refuse to vote biden it'll be bc I'm thinking about everyone. I'll being thinking about our foreign policy -- of the international community. The ONLY reason I'll vote for biden is bc I'm selfishly afraid of what will happen to ME if i don't.
#i truely hate the vote blue no matter who crowd#the most brainless spineless cowards in the US#and before you blame me for trump 1) you're an idiot and 2) i voted ~blue~ in 2016 and 2020
