For those following along, "blue checks" is a derogatory term for the alt right, referring to journalists and other public figures who they believe have a liberal anti-Trump agenda. Like other terms such as SJW and cuck, it's a pretty good pointer that the poster is familiar with that group, if not necessarily a member themselves.

I am certainly not a member. Blue checks appears to be common parlance in left and right communities discussing journalism and politics. Perhaps it is more prevalent in the alt-right? I could well be wrong on this.
