This is not actually a subtweet of anything specific right now, but I do want to make a plea to everyone to a) attribute and link to the source of any information you're sharing b) only share posts that do so.
This isn't (just) about credit, it's about creating a chain of custody for information.

Anyone who posts "news" or details about current events without a linked source should get an immediate "Mute" or "Block."
This is my problem w/accounts that post memes not links. It is what MAGA does. If the country is going to begin caring about the truth again, we should be scrupulous

Vital that information is documented, so much room for falsehoods to rise via viral engagement, as if they are true...
