Skill Level: Intermediate Democracy Defense
Why This Tool Matters
Democracy doesn’t collapse in a single moment — it erodes while we scroll past fake accounts pretending to be “Real Americans.” X’s new “About This Account” feature has exposed foreign-based troll networks pushing U.S. political messaging as if they were voters in Ohio or Texas. That is election interference. Congress has the authority and the obligation to investigate and stop it.
We are going to force them to do their jobs. 😼✊
What You’ll Need
- A phone
- Email access
- Screenshots of suspicious political accounts on X
- Fierce commitment to democracy
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Document the interference
- Use “About This Account” on X.
- Take screenshots whenever an account claiming to be U.S.-based is actually operating from abroad.
- Save 3–10 receipts for your ask.
2. Contact your Members of Congress
Call or email both Senators + your House Rep.
Here’s your exact script:
Hello, I am your constituent. X has revealed extensive foreign accounts influencing U.S. elections. I am requesting that you immediately begin public hearings and demand DHS and the FEC investigate. We deserve election integrity and transparency.
Short, direct, firm.
3. Post publicly and tag your lawmakers
- Upload your screenshots
- Tag your elected officials
- Add:
“Congress must investigate foreign political interference NOW.”
Use #Revolution2025
4. Leverage community power
- Share with 3 friends or group chats
- Ask them to do the same
- Rapid escalation = political pressure
5. Follow up until you get a response
- Call district offices
- Attend a town hall
- Ask the question live
- Film it and share
- Accountability requires persistence
How to Stay Safe
- Don’t accuse individuals of crimes
- Don’t engage arguments with troll accounts
- Focus your message on policy and Congressional oversight
How This Helps the Resistance
Congressional offices hate public proof that they ignored a national security threat.
Your pressure makes:
- Hearings more likely
- Regulation more likely
- Foreign troll farms less effective
- Democracy more resilient
- They rely on secrecy.
- We win with sunlight.
What Success Looks Like
- Congressional letters demanding DHS + FEC briefings
- Public hearings scheduled
- Mandatory transparency rules for political accounts
- Press coverage amplifying the pressure
- Foreign bot farms losing reach and relevance
Final Rallying Call
American democracy is real — and worth claws-out defense. Foreign troll networks are working overtime.
So are the cats.
Keep your claws sharp. 😼✊
