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
