blue checks

People who have paid for verification on Twitter and have a blue checkmark next to their name.

After Elon Musk acquired Twitter in October 2022, the blue checkmark lost its former status. This check was once restricted to politicians, journalists, 'official accounts', and other celebrities. After this distinction was dropped, people self-selected into buying verification who were often right wing Musk supporters.

Thus 'blue checks' is often used in context of a discussion to mean terminally online right wing accounts.

Blue Checkmark 

Someone on Twitter who thinks they are famous but in reality nobody has heard of (usually a B-list celebrity or a journalist who writes for a little-known leftist publication). The main factor which separates them from the verified accounts belonging to real celebrities is that the Blue Checkmarks lack the self-awareness to realize that nobody really cares about their opinions, yet they act as though they are God's gift to political discourse as they spout their self-righteous hot takes on Twitter.
Of course all of the Blue Checkmarks came out in droves to virtue signal about the latest election news.
