The far-right spread disinfo on El Paso "siege"/"violence" planned "by Antifa" 3 days before Aug 3 shooting. A peaceful action was planned by native Americans/POC LGBT organization BorderResistance borderresistance.com (no affiliation/mention of antifa) #ElPaso #elpasoshooter
The far-right and the Kremlin carried out an orchestrated attack on antifa for several years. A good thread by @RVAwonk
@RVAwonk “Smear campaigns” are used to create the image of internal enemy and “scape goats.” Since Charlottesville, such campaigns against #Antifa became a compulsory exercise for #AltRight, #Kremlin #trolls and #Bots. #disinformation is an important tool in cyberwar.
@RVAwonk In 2017, a smear-campaign against "alt-left" and "antifa" was orchestrated on 4chan. The online campaign used fake Antifa (an umbrella term for anti-fascist protestors) Twitter accounts to claim anti-fascists promote physically abused women who supported Trump or white supremacy.
@RVAwonk Bots and trolls retweeted all posts with hashtag punchthenazi, including my article debunking the campaign :D medium.com/everyvote/to-p…
@RVAwonk Far-right is doing it now, in 2019, radicalizing the "lone wolves" (see my other thread from today.)

1/ It was the first time I was alone on the bus to Kherson. I had been away for four days, interviewing Ukrainians fleeing occupation at the Belarus–Ukraine border. The return took nearly 30 hours. Every bus was full—except Mykolaiv–Kherson. 🧵 Image
2/ There is a reason. The past week has been unprecedented. I left under anti-drone tunnel nets, with a drone striking close to the bus. I returned to the sound of guided aerial bombs hitting the city. Image
3/ While I was away, I followed reports from Kherson: a mother killed in front of her son; two sisters killed in front of their mother. Image

🔴 A Russian drone hits a bus in Kherson, injuring 21 civilians.

A report from the ground shows civilians, returning home with groceries or from work.

Russians claim the bus was transporting explosives. An intercepted video ⬇️ shows a Russian drone attack.

An important article in my home-state newspaper, Fresno Community Alliance.

Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv. Feels far.

But what the UN documented in southern Ukraine is directly relevant to the US, EU, UK...

Drones hunting civilians🧵

fresnoalliance.com/un-issues-a-dr…
In Oct 2025, the UN confirmed what Ukrainians call “human safari.” Small commercial drones — the kind you buy at Target — track a person in real time and kill them from above. Investigators traced the attacks to Russian drone units operating under a unified command.
It is state policy — a coordinated campaign to terrorize and depopulate entire regions.

Why should Californians care?
Because these are the same drones used here for farming, wildfire mapping, filmmaking, deliveries.

🔴BREAKING: The UN Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine concludes:

Russian armed forces deliberately target civilians w/ short-range drones along 300 km of the Dnipro River in Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolaiv regions.

These attacks constitute crimes against humanity. 1/3
Russian drones have tracked civilians over long distances, struck homes, ambulances, and other emergency services, and caused deaths and injuries. Entire towns have become unliveable, essential services have stopped, and thousands have been forced to flee. ohchr.org/en/statements-…
The Commission’s full report will be presented to the UN General Assembly in October.

"The circumstances of the attacks show the perpetrators’ intention to kill, harm, and destroy."

As a reporter working in the area for two years, I confirm this.

As Russia wages a hybrid war on the democratic world, disinformation is its weapon.

The Kremlin’s arsenal is made of narratives and is used to confuse audiences, justify aggression, and weaken global support for Ukraine.

Breaking them apart🧵 + article
fresnoalliance.com/deconstructing…
The “Defensive War” Myth: Moscow claims its invasion protects Russian speakers.

Reality: Russia started this war in 2014 with Crimea’s annexation & Donbas aggression.

Russia kills Russian speakers, deports civilians, abducts children & runs “filtration camps.”
NATO "Provocation" Myth: Kremlin says NATO “forced” the war.

Reality:

NATO is a defensive alliance.
Ukraine wasn’t a member in 2014 or 2022.
States joined NATO for protection from Moscow, not to threaten it.
