My wife just got a Twitter handle and was looking for a good way to get news from leftist sources/perspectives, and anything else cool. Any good accounts come to mind? I’m kind of new to Left Twitter too so would love some recs. She isn’t like a full on communist yet but a solid socialist, so to speak, still like building her base of knowledge so would probably be turned off to any hardcore/outright theory accounts. Obvs any anarchist stuff welcome too. But yeah, just looking to give her a solid list to start with. Thanks for the help!
- News/events orgs, journalists, people with good critical takes, etc
- Funny people
- Community outreach/mutual aid (+1 for PNW stuff)
- Female voices, could be funny, feminist, anything really
- BIPOC and LGBTQ+ perspectives
- International news
- She likes dance, forests, art, movies, etc
- Anything else!
GrimKelly does and posts a lot about strikes, unions and labor stuff. She writes a lot of articles too. Just popped into my head first.
But for sure also recommend both guys from Citations Needed, adamjohnsonNYC and WideAsleepNima. They both post a lot of good stuff and take downs.
Also really recommend EqualityAlec, he posts some really good media critiques as well and also pokes holes in a lot of Copaganda among other things.
Awesome I’ll add these to the list, thanks!
