       Russian propagandists are buying Twitter’s new blue checks, giving their lies about Ukraine more prominence. A dozen are tweeting in English, reaching millions. Gift link: https://wapo.st/3m2enaY

       @drrjv @JosephMenn It's not worthless. It tags russian trolls.

       @adamshostack @JosephMenn "Looking for Russian propaganda and billionaire ego-stroking? Twitter's got it! For everything else, there's Mastodon."

       @edgeoforever @JosephMenn @tchambers Yep.  Millions of bots retweeting each other.  If that doesn’t finally crash the damn thing, nothing will.
