Free and fair elections are an essential foundation of our constitutional republic. Unfortunately, after the disputed 2020 election, confidence in the integrity of elections has reached an all-time low. /2

Last week, we outlined how Kremlin fringe news sites, banned by social media companies, make their way back onto American platforms using backlinks to duplicated websites. Here's a quick explainer on how this system works. #TrustButVerify @SecureDemocracy
Here's the full write up on the NewsFront mirror site method and how they still reach thousands on U.S. social media sites. securingdemocracy.gmfus.org/russias-affron…
In short, many I've spoken to over the last 5-6 years have claimed they don't see Russian propaganda and disinformation, and my response is often times, "how are you sure that is the case?" for example, does one immediately know where these mirror sites come from? 
"How Russia Divides America" The Selected Wisdom team's second episode. Today's topic is Kremlin information warfare and how to target America with propaganda and disinformation in the lead up to an election. Hint: It's not Dems vs GOP #TrustButVerify
Lots of references inform this analysis. See this entire research stream @FPRI #FIE2020 project where we show how Russia discusses the candidate, this mirrors the social media shutdowns of Kremlin troll farm activity past 5 years fpri.org/research/fie20…
Chapters 4 & 6 of Messing with the Enemy also give a long breakdown of this targeting strategy amazon.com/Messing-Enemy-…

For those that remember the GWOT days, I stole the chart concept from this classic report by @will_mccants “Militant Ideology Atlas- Executive Report” ctc.usma.edu/app/uploads/20…
Here’s a personal story of mine I felt the need to share. Abt #news, #fakenews & this era we're in.
Haven’t shared publicly, though we've spent time together, you’ve prob heard me on this soap box. After the last few months, I feel the need to share it broadly.

I worked in PR for 10 years, 5 of them working on behalf of severely wounded troops coming back from OEF/OIF. This time has been and will likely always be the best days of my career. We were making a REAL difference! This work mattered! At the time, we were urging the media to
bring to light the issues/scandal with the VA and troops not getting the help they needed. (Before the TIME story broke, in which we provided several sources.)
1/ A word of caution from me. In addition to wise words from @katestarbird @JaneLytv for individuals in protests movements, journalists covering them, all of us, I wanted to add this: be careful ascribing legitimate domestic societal grievances to foreign actors without proof.
2/ We’re in an emotionally charged place right now, no matter who we are, what we believe. It’s an easy time to confirm our biases, jump to conclusions. Not everything you disagree with is a troll, a bot, a foreign actor. If a research report claims that, vet it. #trustbutverify
3/ And then there’s stuff you do agree with. Foreign actors historically have taken advantage of domestic grievances in the US. They may do it again; they may not. No matter what, don’t let that invalidate the grievances themselves. And don’t assume they’re doing it now w/o proof
