Replying to @TomArnold- Replying to @noellecook_comThey spend most of their time combing social media for videos to post and messages to share. Their social networks are made up of virtual friends who share the same beliefs. 5/7
- 🧵This is a multi-part story about how mainstream media like CNN platform far-right women and their ideas by failing to consider that polite, nicely dressed, older white women can be extremists. Rebranding the Maga Granny, Part 1
- Not often thought of as “feminist icons,” Charlie’s Angels was one of the first shows I remember as a kid (besides Mary Tyler Moore) that featured women in traditionally masculine careers, and who were not centered as wives & mothers. theguardian.com/film/2000/nov/…
- Replying to @MacFarlaneNewsWhen you try to overthrow the government, seems to me that a healthy dose of public shunning should be expected. There's also a complete lack of remorse. All regret is focused on personal loss.

First up, an inspiring message of resistance and support from...checks notes...the Palm Springs chief of police. I am grateful to live in such an inclusive community.
00:00 - Replying to @_ArkLA_ and @just_2028As one woman tells me, she only reveals what her audience can handle.
- Replying to @noellecook_comThe story is far more complicated. And that’s because Hemphill has a long history of far-right activism, deep bigotry, and even support for violence. She is nothing like the confused granny she portrays herself to be.
- Replying to @noellecook_comOver the next week, I will share a few threads that unpack the rebranding of MAGA Granny and reveal her attempt to reinvent herself by trying to erase her vile past, without having to answer a single question about it or her miraculous conversion. (/9, end of pt.1)
