Very interesting but I can comprehend how the source-image could possibly be changed and it has nothing to do with changing a Tweet card or whatever.
I don't use Twitter. I never have.
I HAVE worked for many companies creating, maintaining and modifying online content, data-stores and meta-data so I'll just say this.
Any visual medium that you encounter has a source. That Source is either a file or a field. If it's a file, it's just what the name implies. An image file. It has a name and it has attributes. Replace that file with another of the same name and voila....a different image.
Sure it's possible that each "tweet" embeds any visual content when it's sent but that would be HIGHLY inefficient. The storage requirements would be ludicrous for a platform the size of Twitter. It makes more sense to embed a reference (URL) to said content.
If the Source is a field, it exists in a database either as blob data (binary large object) or B64E (Base64 Encoded). Replacing the contents of that single field will reflect on any publications sent after said update.
Make sense?
Not disputing...just offering some plausible options

lots of BS. for someone trying to sound technical, your actual knowledge seems lacking.
twitter does in fact cache card images, here's an example url.
as for where it takes those from, i assume twitter:image metadata (present on obama.org website), cached at the time of posting. either that, or og:image (open graph), doesn't matter since both seem to point to the same url.
currently it points to this, the question is wether it was pointing to anything Floyd-related before the date of his murder. i've tried several web archive snapshots, to no avail - it was different than now, but nothing related to this case. but that's for the main page, the question is what's the exact url related to the thumbnail in question, then we can check that in web archive.
Sorry, I don't see Putin as having anything to do with this....it is Obama, Soros, and the cpusa/dnc/dsa.....and Page Stroczk etc etc..... because they are the arm of communism right now. Obamas mom was the Old Left and Obama is the New Left. Obmamas momma was a card carrying communist and her parents before her. It's really very simple in that sense. Valerie Jarrett also has communist family ties and she pretty much ran things during the Obama admin. Cloward and Piven strategy is in full force here with the overwhelming of the system with the purpose of tearing down to rebuild it with their new system. Do you not see it, with the Blue States talking about defunding the (old) police and rebuilding with this new thing they are talking about......perhaps Obama's civilian force which would be stronger and better funded..... starting with the youth.....

I'm glad American people can be fooled with stuff like this.
Amazing how so many can be so blind, ain't it? Like little lambs to the slaughter.
you're right. you're right. your stance makes sense. this was planned, and Soros or Obama or Dems are behind it all.
why would any other nations want to fight us with military rather than disinfo.
they can edit any webpage and sow confusion in the populace and watch the aftermath
