Hannah Gais / @hannahgais: among other things, I think this hits the nail on the head with regards to what made Gionet's stream in the Capitol so surreal. he seemed more gleeful he was going viral; meanwhile, the people in the superchats were shouting odes to The Turner Diaries. https://www.nytimes.com/...

@the_rewm: Sure, most did not turn out to be white nationalists, but *many* people in both news and entertainment followed signals on social media without any scruple, fully exhausting a lot of good, thoughtful editors in the process and causing harm in a lot of different ways

@junesummer1: Not even a black writer and photographer could stop Vogue from its usual racism. They did America's first BW, first WOC, first daughter of immigrants VP dirty.
