WaPo's expert source on Twitter doesn't mind doxxing those fascists who are for 'free speech'

I was awfully glad to see my colleague Doug write a post about this the other day, and I’d like to expand upon it a little. I was a newspaper reporter well before there was the internet, and the local university sent over a book of expert sources on just about any topic if you needed a pithy quote for a piece you were working on. Media outlets these days have their own sources they like to consult: If NPR ever needs an expert for a piece, it has the usual suspects on speed dial, like the SPLC or Planned Parenthood or Media Matters. And media outlets can always find a professor or Ph.D. candidate to give insight, like drag queen and Ph.D. candidate Lil Miss Hot Mess, who co-authored an academic paper on “drag pedagogy” and “the playful practice of queer imagination in early childhood.”
