# Social Posts Hub Master index for the `/Media/Social Posts/` folder — individual social-media posts captured as canonical artifacts. The unit of record here is **the post itself**: its content, its visual properties, its post-time context, and what it caused. What distinguishes a Social Post entry from a [[Quotes Hub]] entry is the object of study. A Quote captures the speaker-attributable utterance, optimized for the *receipts* use case. A Social Post captures the artifact's structural properties — the image, the deletion timing, the repost mechanism, the platform-moderation outcome, the distribution arc — optimized for the *media-studies* use case. The two coexist and cross-link whenever a post had both a visual artifact and attributable verbal content; most entries below carry a paired Quote. The standard for inclusion is that the post *itself*, not merely what it said, has historical or analytical value: the post **was the source or essence of the news**. An image with no caption (the AI-Jesus images), a multi-post threat sequence amplified through reposts (the "punishable by DEATH" cycle), a state document re-coded as a campaign logo (the mugshot), a Truth Social post that *is* a storefront (the NFT drop) — these are artifacts, not quotes. This hub sits under the [[Media Hub]] and connects to the [[Media Ecosystem]], [[Information Warfare Hub]], and [[Stochastic Terrorism]]. --- ## Chronological index | Date | Post | Platform | Why it was the news | Status | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2018-11-17 | [[Marjorie Taylor Greene - 2018-11-17 - Jewish space lasers]] | Facebook | 2018 conspiracy post (Rothschild "space laser") surfaced as she took her House seat | Deleted | | 2020-05-29 | [[Donald Trump - 2020-05-29 - looting starts shooting starts]] | Twitter | First Trump tweet hidden behind a public-interest "glorifying violence" notice | Up | | 2020-12-19 | [[Donald Trump - 2020-12-19 - be there will be wild]] | Twitter | J6 mobilization tweet;
