At 13:24 UT, 17 JAN, Lori, who has a "NO KINGS" logo for her profile pic, skeeted "ICE is using nerve gas on protesters!!!!!" Lori is clearly not too concerned about accurately representing the reality of a rather important situation, and would rather block Dan than be factual. The five exclamation marks really sells her position.

A screenshot of Hakeem Jefferson's bio. He is clearly not the person these people think he is. The cover image is a lovely embroidered pillow that says "I AM NOT HAKEEM JEFFERIES", and this statement of fact is reiterated at the end of the bio.
