Recently Taibbi said that the reason they haven't mentioned any suppressed leftist accounts is that they haven't found any so far. (in conversation with Russell Brand)

I don't think Taibbi's seen the files Baker hid the deepest. I'm still soft blocked (can't log back in without a ph#), and if anyone can find the tweet I did calling out Mook as a liar when he first pointed fingers at Russia the Saturday before the 2016 DNC convention, I'd appreciate the link.

The online Left was handled differently in part, I think, because many of us were former/current bloggers and had a much deeper understanding of what our numbers should look like and were subjected to different suppression strategies.

I found two, Mark. The earliest is April 2017.

Nice find but the one I'd like to see is from the last Saturday in July, 2016.

I do remember that exchange with the former Mpls mayor. I was very aggressive about pushing back on Russiagate, not that hardly anyone ever saw my links or tweets even when I engaged with bluecheck elites.
