Immediately after Ukraine took out two of the five data centers run by the Russian tech giant Yandex, pro-Trump and pro-MAGA posts on American social media sites plummeted. The same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD. Russia is engaged in MASSIVE election interference.

Fox News' Kilmeade: ..."Zelensky is frustrated because now all this money is going to flow into Russia, who started this whole war unprovoked, they are the bad guys"

With Israel’s election two weeks away, Lesley Stahl travels to the West Bank, where militant Israeli settlers have carried out violent attacks against the Palestinians, often with impunity. The Israeli government is unwilling to crack down on the violence.

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

This week, Steve Silverman, Melissa Hooper, Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor (ret.), Justice Michael P. Donnelly (ret.), and I traveled the country for our Paul Revere Tour, convening civic leaders for election-related tabletops. This wasn't about admiring the problem. This was about ACTION. 1/4

This is as treasonous as it gets

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

If and when we get the truth and reconciliation process, and an American Nuremberg underway, the number of Trump lackeys who will say β€œI was only following orders” will rival that of the Nazis after World War II
