Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is far from popular with Trump supporters – or the President himself – since her campaigns are decidedly in the Socialist camp and she isn’t afraid to criticise the current administration.
Only last year, Trump suggested that New York-born Alexandria, and three other American congresswomen of colour, should go back to the countries they came from.
With elections coming up, she has been on the campaign trail, and recently posted this clip to her Instagram account.
Pretty standard fare during campaign season, but right-wingers seized on one aspect of the video.

Not unlike that dress that everyone insisted on seeing different comes this photo of a couple of zebras which is thoroughly confusing people.
The question: which of the two zebras is the one we can see looking at the camera?
And it’s fair to say the internet was divided, very divided.
My answer is Left zebra 🦓. Reason the direction of the inside part of ears of both zebras. If left zebra was looking left or straight the inside part of the ears would not be visible.

At the start of the coronavirus crisis, there was some talk from MPs that the government’s policy was the pursuit of herd immunity, which they later denied.
At the weekend, right-wing columnist Toby Young gave everyone the benefit of his vast knowledge and many years of experience in the field of immunology best guess.
Science Twitter wasn’t impressed – and they weren’t the only ones.

Here’s Donald Trump telling everyone exactly why he’s doing such a great job tackling coronavirus, and laying the blame for not doing enough testing at the door of … Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
"Biden & Obama stopped their testing … I'm sure you don't want to report it" – Trump absurdly tries to blame Obama for problems w/ testing for Covid-19, which didn't exist until nearly 3 years after he left office. He then falsely suggests the 1918 flu pandemic started in 1917. pic.twitter.com/uXu4NT3sxt — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 13, 2020

The government will make it mandatory to wear face masks in shops in England from 24 July and not everyone is happy about it.
Specifically, Conservative MP Desmond Swayne is really, really not happy about it.
“Nothing would make me less likely to go shopping than the thought of having to mask up,” says Conservative Sir Desmond Swayne who calls the new rule for shoppers in England a “monstrous imposition”https://t.co/iKXtspO6TU pic.twitter.com/e0dVtoH3K0 — BBC Politics (@BBCPolitics) July 14, 2020
And these 9 takedowns are breathtaking stuff.

This plank would have been striding around the Titanic shouting, “I will certainly NOT get into a lifeboat, I am at supper. This is a monstrous imposition.” https://t.co/O7T03J0zfP — Stephen Mangan (@StephenMangan) July 14, 2020
2.
I thought a ‘monstrous imposition’ was not being able to leave my home for 4 months because I’m worried it could lead to my death. But the thought of having to go shopping with a mask on has really put things into perspective for me. https://t.co/7EBIZuhg7i — Henry Fraser (@henryfraser0) July 14, 2020

Not being funny, but this dude doesn't strike me as someone regularly getting a shop in at the Big Asda.

And here was me thinking a 'monstrous imposition' was the way Covid suffocated the life out of the patients on my wards, over & over & over again. A society, surely, is interconnected?

Today we learned that the government will indeed make face masks mandatory in shops in England, but not until 24 July.
Which managed to anger both people who are happy to wear a mask and want them made compulsory as soon as possible, and people who really, really don’t want to wear one no matter how many lives it might save.
But there were glimmers of light amongst the fury and these 12 takes might help take the edge off just a little bit.

As soon as something goes viral your mentions are flooded with Reply Guys of all different species. For this particular viral-ish tweet here are the categories: pic.twitter.com/uziKTP30FZ — Sooz Kempner (@SoozUK) July 15, 2020
3.
PUNCH-IT-UP REPLY GUY: This breed of Reply Guy rewords your humorous tweet and behaves like he has written a hilarious take. “More like people who wore shitty fashions of the past now don’t want to put on a mask lol”. Not “more like”, mate…EXACTLY the same. — Sooz Kempner (@SoozUK) July 15, 2020
4.
FACTCHECK REPLY GUY: An evergreen Reply Guy. They will factcheck whatever you tweet. In this case expect to see a lot of “sounds more 2004 than 2003” replies. But trust me, if you know a LOT about a subject and you tweet some facts a Reply Guy will “actually, it’s” you. — Sooz Kempner (@SoozUK) July 15, 2020
5.
UNSOLICITED ADVICE REPLY GUY: You’ve complained about a thing, sometimes a thing from years ago. This Reply Guy will pop up to tell you where you’ve been going wrong and what you should do in future. If you say “I didn’t ask for advice” they get EXTREMELY offended. — Sooz Kempner (@SoozUK) July 15, 2020
6.
TAKES IT LITERALLY REPLY GUY: You are not writing a fun tweet, what you’re doing is stating an absolute fact and he will reply to it with sincerity and gravitas. “The reason the shoes were pointed” he’ll intone “was replicating a popular mod era look”. FASCINATING M8 IDC. — Sooz Kempner (@SoozUK) July 15, 2020
7.
CHANGE THE SUBJECT REPLY GUY: A very common Reply Guy, he sees your tweet and wants to talk about something else entirely. He’ll reply with “hey Sooz, seen they’re doing a sequel to the Sonic movie?” etc. It’s to establish to everyone that he’s more of a friend than a fan. — Sooz Kempner (@SoozUK) July 15, 2020
8.
OVERFAMILIAR REPLY GUY: You’re a Girlfriend Experience. They bring up something from your past that you’ve mentioned in passing or on stage. “Did your ex dress like this, the one you told us about last month?”. When this Reply Guy shows up I draw all the curtains in the house. — Sooz Kempner (@SoozUK) July 15, 2020
9.
LIFE STORY REPLY GUY: He saw you post personal anecdotes and assumes that replying to you with HIS life story will be very interesting. “Back then I didn’t wear bootcut jeans and pointy shoes” he’ll reply, “I wore baggy jeans and t-shirts, sometimes I wore knee-length shorts… — Sooz Kempner (@SoozUK) July 15, 2020
10.
…but mostly baggy jeans. My shoes were usually Vans or Converse, I think in 2003 it was Converse. My gf wore the same but we broke up in 2010, no idea what she’s up to now”. Thank you, Life Story Reply Guy. Thank you. — Sooz Kempner (@SoozUK) July 15, 2020

In a shift from convention, Boris Johnson had seemed to parachute the serial failure Chris Grayling into the position of chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee, which is to oversee the publication of the Russia Report.
Despite having the highest endorsement possible – presumably that of Dominic Cummings, when the committee voted in the chairperson, Grayling’s wheels fell off, leaving Julian Lewis in the position.
BREAKING
MPs on the Intelligence & Security Committee have elected Tory backbencher Julian Lewis to chair the committee – rebelling against No10 which wanted Chris Grayling to get the role. — Hugo Gye (@HugoGye) July 15, 2020
