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!

    I highly recommend just searching Twitter's search function for the names of like 5 animals you like, and just following a few dozen "animal every hour" and "animal every day" accounts. Social media is at its best when it is hundreds of uninterrupted animal pictures and nothing else at all.
