FYI there is (yet another) viral misinformation campaign going on, this time a false tweet that’s been photoshopped to look like I sent out a call for a “purge.” Unsurprisingly it’s circulating like wildfire on FB & Twitter. This is one way death threats & targeting ramp up.

On a lighter note there was also another viral photoshopped tweet about my shoes (😬) but also now ppl are asking if I need shoes 😭 no thanks. That was fake too! Sometimes when people call me “extreme” I wonder how many fake Facebook stories/posts they’ve been exposed to

What if they're really good shoes? Smoking hot, comfortable, something you could wear anywhere with anything, night and day? And came in nice, sturdy box with a handle, so they were easy to travel with? I bet you would want those shoes.

Boomers LOVE going on fb and reposting fake shit all the time 😂 Also anyone with a brain can tell when somethings photoshopped. Old people , can’t. Then they spread all the wrong info like wildfire. They literally shouldn’t be on social media 😂

On a lighter not 70 million people wont care for what biden has to say. But, the rest of us do. why are we having to pay to hear what biden has to say? is he getting a cut already? is he going to profit from his presidency even before taking office?

Extreme is not how I would describe you. I would say the voice or reason, or the conscience of the USA. But then again I am from the Netherlands so what do I know..
