Your reminder

In 2016 Russia financed a series of ads along with an army of upvote bots. The intent was to divide america further from all angles

The senate intelligence committee released the following ads from Russia linked actors

These are from accounts with names like Blacktivists, Back the Badge, Secure Borders, Army of Jesus and so on. Every division covered

We’re heading into 2024. If you see a political ad trying to provoke you: mistrust it.

1/3)

Russian add posted to American social media, claiming to be against police brutality, but linked to a group that made divisions run deeper
Russian, financed political ad full of Islamophobia depicting women walking on the street and wearing a Burqa as evil somehow
Image of Russian, financed social media ad, saying back the badge, usually aimed at conservatives, even though they thrashed police on January 6

@flexghost I sometimes wonder too about stuff I see on Facebook from groups like Occupy Democrats or The Other 98% or similar pages. Some of the memes they post and that I see shared by fellow liberals/progressives almost seem like they are purposefully made to make us on the left seem like we have more extreme or more unreasonable positions than we actually do. Like to drive division and make it harder for nonTrumpy center/right people to be able to vote with us to defeat MAGA.
