There are conflicting reports on this. I've updated the title accordingly.
all this he said she said blame game shit over $15 🤦♀️ you can't even get a month of netflix without ads for that much smh
Also, The progressive turnout project was a scam account that targeted older folks, apparently.
More than 40 percent of Facebook ads from Stop Republicans and the Progressive Turnout Project reached users over 65, according to a public database compiled by Bully Pulpit Interactive, a Democratic digital consultancy. In comparison, the Biden campaign devoted 18.5 percent of its Facebook ads to that demographic.
Interesting.
Too many Crooks.
Damn I liked the Radical Centrist theory!
My first thought is that the supposed insta account is real and this was Epstein related. Other possibilities is that this guy was upset about Trump having "national abortion ban" taken off of the GOP platform, or Trump's support for Israel or Russia.
hadn't heard about the insta account, what's the Epstein angle?
This is rumored to be his insta account. I don't know if it's been confirmed or deboonked since I first saw this, but I think I saw someone say they confirmed this account was made in 2022. The pfp is maybe photoshopped which is potentially an indication it's a fake account, but not necessarily.
You act like facts matter. They'll believe he is a Dark Brandon agent if that is what Alex Jones tells them.
i don’t care if he donated to al Qaeda
I'm really starting to believe that this guy had no real motive beyond a desire for fame. Truly the most 
possible motive.
He was trying to impress jodie foster
Wait what? Is that screenshot on the right the list of people who donated to ActBlue?
Is that not “Thomas M Crooks, 20” right below the Thomas Crooks, 69 in the very screenshot?
As in, Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20 year old shooter?
No. The list on the right lists people with the name living in PA. It’s a people search engine, like yellow pages. Donation search engines don’t list your relatives

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
