This account, which professes to be "America First" and based in Washington, D.C., which has 2M followers across platforms, is actually based in Morocco.
The country-of-origin feature makes it possible for investigators and sleuths see the charade in 2 clicks. But wouldn't it be great if users had this context directly from the feed, @benjitaylor?
The cheering on of U.S. political assassinations in New Hampshire seems especially popular with accounts based in Brazil. Shoutout to "@GoblinRapist2," a self-described incel.

Brandon here thinks "the cause" should focus only on celebrating deaths of millionaires.
One third of the accounts amplifying this hot take are outside the US. Shoutout to one of them, @Gertionali, applauding all the way from Pakistan.
maybe i’m fake woke but celebrating the death of a woman who probably made like $200k is lame and bad for the cause
Who amplifies criticism of US cabinet officials?
Disproportionately, accounts that aren't American — or won't say.

2x as many have accounts were just created.
This post glorifying political assassination is being amplified primarily by accounts overseas. A special shoutout to today's raffle winner, @andrewd12121, reposting all the way from Trinidad and Tobago.

DSA-aligned candidates draw a following that is less local and less authentic than their mainstream opponents'.
We scanned seven 2026 Democratic primary matchups — a DSA candidate against a mainstream Democrat in each.

2.5x as many are newly created.
And mainstream candidates carry roughly 2.5x the blue-verified rate.

The 2nd and 3rd largest country origins for accounts following @RashidaTlaib are Nigeria and Bangladesh. For her opponent @ElectShanelle, they are Canada and the UK.
The author of this post about "the myth of meritocracy" is based in Africa, and the majority of accounts reposting it are also based outside the United States.
The "self-made billionaire" doesn't exist. Bezos got $300k from his parents. Musk's family owned an emerald mine. Gates' mom sat on the IBM board. They all had wealth, connections, and safety nets. The myth of meritocracy is just inherited privilege with a TED Talk.
