Let's talk about why Shireen Mitchell and Mutale Nkonde were both running #MoveOn-supported campaigns in similar time frames.

👉🏿Genesis and nemesis in #ADOS smears?

But today, let's focus on the @DIGITALSISTA, Shireen, and her @StopOVAW 🗳️voting campaign!

Shireen Mitchell doesn't want to be blamed for any affiliation with Harvard's "Disinformation Creep" retracted article.

But she has a history & connection with the lead author and funder, #MoveOn.

SEPTEMBER 2021

Shireen admitted that down-ballot 🗳️was a voter suppression strategy---familiar language. This was around the time when Disinformation Creep was under post-publication review.

Let's go down a timeline of her voter suppression campaigns that led up to #MoveOn.

Two months after Joy Reid's interview and the Big Disinfo 2020 event, Shireen and Mutale went from "late" audience member and panelist to facilitator and panelist at a race & disinformation conference at CUNY, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.

SEPTEMBER 3-4, 2020

Shireen's SOVAW launched an official CAMPAIGN and HASHTAG: #stopdigivotersuppression

#MoveOn is sourced as an endorser. But let's move on. We got a report, campaign, endorsement, hashtag. What's next?

AUGUST 2021

@DigitalSista wasn't too pleased that Harvard & other entities used a "mirror image" of her 2020 SOVAW report that mentions #ADOS.

🧐Look at the Stop Digital Voter Suppression & SOVAW background.

Why reference Harvard if you want no affiliation with the retraction?

FALL 2020

Shireen Mitchell & Mutale Nkonde were both running #MoveOn-supported campaigns against the #ADOS movement.

#StopDigiVoterSuppression ran from September 3 - November 12---picked up a new partner.

#VoteDownCovid ran from MoveOn's account October 23rd to election date.

JANUARY 2021

Shireen Mitchell or @DigitalSista,

You are referenced in Disinformation Creep for a reason. It is the same reason half of the writers are affiliated with #MoveOn.

Your relationships with Mutale Nkonde and #MoveOn makes you directly accountable!

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

Shireen Mitchell & Deen Freelon spreading the Russian operative narrative on Vox Media

👉🏾Deen Freelon is an Editorial Board Member of Harvard's Misinformation Review who posted & retracted the #CrimsonSmear against #ADOS

📽️

*Correction - Visual has 2020 tweets, but has 2021 posted. The only 2021 reference was Mutale's picture.

Clarity Correction: Shireen's role at Big Disinfor was panelist.

Big Disinfo: Mutale came in as a late audience member, according to people in the #ADOS movement who attended, and the video.

CUNY Event: Mutale was referenced as a facilitator by writer, Nadine White.
