13/ Some more...

TP-USA’s 2018 taxes are out and rather than bitching about how much more Charlie Kirk pays himself than his staff, I wanted to focus on the independent contractors. Rally Forge LLC was paid nearly $500K for “digital education,” fitting for their 501c3 status
14/ Seems there was a bit of scandal last year (2020) Rally Forge was banned by FB. They had recruited teens to run a bot farm and push out disinfo using phony personas. Wash Post called it “a case study in the evolution of deceptive online tactics.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/10/08/facebook-bans-media-consultancy-running-troll-farm-pro-trump-youth-group/
15/ Numerous social media accounts were banned. RF’s behavior was described as “An astroturfing operation involving fake accounts (some with AI-generated images) that left thousands of comments on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.”

Kirk wasn’t fined
16/ According to WaPo, in 2020, RF was contracted for a “students for Trump digital activists” project & paid $221K by TP Action (not TP-USA) per FEC filings.

Then what was the contract in 2018 from the 501c3 for? Did RF have a different contract in 2018 w/the 501c3? What for?
17/ Although they were employed by RF, the students self-identified as TP workers. One student involved in the op was listed in TP-USA’s staff directory.
Remember “Atheists for Liberty’s Thomas Sheedy? His LinkedIn lists him as “Assistant Public Relations Chair” for TP-USA.
18/ It all makes me wonder about all the bots w/bad politics, the conspiracists, the fed-jacketing & the message discipline. Niko will share a platform w/ LaRouchies & wh supremacists. Best case: He’s just too connected to the right to keep insisting he’s a lefty. Worst case 🤷🏻‍♀️
20/ And Niko? He’ll keep calling Jack a friend, keep talking abt building bridges, keep attending conferences w/ppl who go out of their way to deny systemic racism & keep swapping podcast appearances. All in the name of “Better Discourse” and, to use his phrase “civility fascism”
21/
