It’s critical we place Trump’s racism in its wider context of far-right extremism funded by Russia. Extremists are Putin’s grenades to destabilize liberal democracy, elevate autocrats so his kleptocracy can keep laundering money in the West w/o pesky rule of law or sanctions.
Trump’s racism is strategic political propaganda—purposely stoking far-right extremism. @CNN @kaitlancollins reports today’s on-camera doubling down racist “go home” attacks on Dem Congresswomen of color was PRE-PLANNED. Pix show his notes w/ bullet points & edits w/ his sharpie.
Better shot of Propagandist-in-Chief’s far-right extremist talking points, pouring more fuel⛽️ on the racist fire🔥he ignited against Dem women of color.

Note the propaganda slurs—Socialist, dangerous, anti-Semitic, hate America, love AlCaida* (*Stable genius spelling)😬🤡🤦‍♀️
💯 @IlhanMN Omar puts Trump's racist tweets in their far-right extremist ideological context: "This is the agenda of white nationalists. Whether it is happening in chat rooms, or it's happening on national TV, and now, it's reached the White House garden"
@IlhanMN Every time Trump reveals his racism & demagoguery, now openly pandering to white nationalist extremists, it is a test for EVERY American, especially those in positions of power. Republicans who look away, excuse or deflect must be held accountable too. Make Trump their albatross.

😱🤢>> Trump’s New Favorite Propaganda Channel Employs Kremlin-Paid "Journalist" Also Working For Russia's Sputnik Propaganda Network. Yup, the one that attacked our election w/ disinformation pumping up Trump & demonizing Hillary thedailybeast.com/oan-trumps-new… #Maddow
OAN completes the merger between Russian state-run propaganda & US conservative media. Kremlin propaganda sneaks into segments, dropped in by Sputnik writer as offhand background information—on Soros, Antifa, White Helmets—all favorite foils for Russia's disinformation warriors.
@thedailybeast @kpoulsen I remember Trump called on a "reporter" from “One America News" at a news conference with Poland's President Duda in Sept 2018. OAN is a fringe right-wing pro-Trump & pro-Kremlin propaganda network. Now we know they even employ the same people. https:// witter.com/PaulaChertok/s…

It’s not just the vile racism. It’s also the vile propaganda. Trump spews lies taken from rabid right-wing media about @ilhan & @AOC. RW propagandists warp their words into a “They hate America” narrative & Trump mainstreams it. MSM *spreads* the lies if they only call out racism
@Ilhan @AOC I avoid RW media like the plague, but I stumbled onto a show on @560KSFO this week, and was shaken by how incendiary the attacks on Omar were. It's clear Trump was echoing & mainstreaming those vile smears. He's both a product & amplifier of the right-wing propaganda rage machine
@Ilhan @AOC @560KSFO Trump's comfortable mainstreaming the fringe. He's a product of tabloids, attained fame in the shock jock radio days—provocateurs who got ratings for being outrageous. Trump treats the presidency like he's the star of his own show, using RW media material for political propaganda

WOW >> NEW documents reveal how Julian #Assange turned London's Ecuadoran Embassy into a command post for election meddling, meeting w/ Russians & hackers as he orchestrated dumps of #Wikileaks (stolen by Russian GRU) emails to help the Trump campaign win cnn.com/2019/07/15/pol…
Assange had a very busy June 2016—the month DNC announced the Russian hack, days after Russians met w/ the campaign at Trump Tower & learned Don Jr would take their dirt. Assange had 75 meetings, incl w/ a hacker flagged in Mueller report as a potential courier for stolen emails.
That June #Assange also had 5 meetings w/ senior staffers from Russian propaganda media RT. During one visit, RT's London bureau chief Bogachikhin gave Assange a USB drive. RT worked w/ #Wikileaks in past, & played a major role in #Russia's effort to help Trump win 2016 election.

"Today #Russia is doubling down on malign influence operations across #Europe & North America" Penn Biden Center's @mikercarpenter tells House Foreign Affairs Comm "But we remain remian unprepared, underfurnded & often ignorant of the threat"
"It's not just #Russia" per @mikercarpenter "#China & other non-state actors whose influcne and destabilization operations pose a threat to our democracy"

"We urgently need to focus more resources on rooting out Russia's malign networks, addressing our own massive vulnerabilies"
"We need better coordination between our domestic law enforcement agencies & our nat'l security aparatus" per @mikercarpenter "Too often one hand doesn't know what the other is doing"

On horrible days like today, which are all too frequent now, it is too easy to get sucked into the arguments that occupy this space as we all react, process it in our own ways, but also inevitably lash out at each other.

So for now, all I’m going to post, aside from my incredible sense of sadness and sympathy for the victims and their families, is a list of resources that might be useful try to understand the larger issues at play:

Macron polling below Hollande & the far-right is gaining ground. "His sputtering descent may hold broader dangers for liberal democracy... at a time when [Macron has] set himself up as the opposing pole to the forces of nativism tearing at the EU."
nytimes.com/2018/09/23/wor…
"The overwhelming feeling is that Mr. Macron’s express train of pro-market reforms — lightening a protective labor code, largely doing away with a wealth tax, ending favored status for the country’s railway workers — has so far not improved the lives of ordinary French people."
"Instead, those in the broad economic and social tiers below the elite complain that they are paying the price as Mr. Macron makes France more capitalist, forsaking traditions of equality and fraternity in favor of the rich."
