A Lake Superior Twitter account went viral after supporting abortion rights taking on right-wing
The identity of the man who has operated the account since 2010 is known by Insider, though he spoke to Insider on the condition that he wouldn't be named because he wanted"to stay in the voice of Lake Superior."
The account is rarely political, though tweets about politics aren't off limits, he added. Most tweets about politics were more regional and focused on water policy and the environment, he told Insider. At first, he was worried he would lose followers after tweeting about the court's ruling. Instead, the account has grown rapidly. On Sunday, the parody account had about 47,000 followers, according toby the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. On Thursday, the account had more than 190,000 followers — increasing its audience four fold in less than a week.
