Shrewd and the Senseless: Tweeps Who Get It and Others Who Are Useful Idiots

Teodrose Fikremariam 3 days ago 3 min read

This entire article is a dedication to the slimmest of minorities, by that I’m referring to the truly awakened denizens on Twitter. In a wasteland of sheep bleating and parrots repeating what the establishment echoes, it is heartening to run into some folks who actually see through the bullsh*t. Below are ten Twitter folks, some who I follow very closely others who I just ran into while searching on a particular topic, who have insights that are worth listening to and might be folks who are worth a follow. Click on the tweets below to be redirected to their respective pages. Enjoy the shots of truth with no chaser to speak of.

Glenn Greenwald on the revolving door of corruption in DC

This is a good choice in the sense that as the head of USAID, an agency *ostensibly* devoted to assisting other countries, Samantha Power can work to repair the damage to all the countries she helped destroy the last time she was in government with her unhinged militarism: https://t.co/NNwxjJfsaw

Niko House on the Impeachment Grift

You know what’s really? This impeachment is just a fundraising technique. It’s the last major cash grab before the epic letdown that will be a Dem dominated government.

Anthony Furey on the counterproductive and malicious lockdowns in Canada and beyond

A growing chorus of experts are pointing to the many harms caused by lockdowns, but Doug Ford didn’t once acknowledge the negatives as he plunged Ontario into the most severe lockdown yet: https://t.co/Vwa51Ls9LM

Emerald Robinson asks a gem of a question about our counterfeit “republic”

Todd Starnes on the double standard in DC politics

If President Trump had told his supporters to attack Biden supporters in supermarkets and diners and gas stations, if he had told them to "absolutely harass" Democrats - I would endorse impeachment. But he didn't say that — Maxine Waters did.

Chris Cillizza on how to be an two-faced prick

Liz Cheney has come out of this entire mess looking very, very goodhttps://t.co/L8cuOraZSq

— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) January 13, 2021

I will highlight ten tweets each week of folks who should be commended for their insights or assholes like Chris Cillizza who deserve all the condemnation warranted for their continued double-dealing and forked-tongue ways. By the way, if you have not read it yet, please read “Wildcat Strike USA 2021” and find out about a general strike that we are pushing for January 20th to coincide with Joe’s inauguration. Join the effort for the time has come for us to either stand up for our collective interests or we will end up in connective tribulation.
