So people are exercising the 1st Amendment right in a way that she doesn’t like and now she wants the FBI to investigate them. All these politicians are the same. Democrats and Republicans.

    “the former House speaker said, without offering evidence, that she believed some protesters are connected to Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

    I like evidence, it’s a great way of telling if someone is full of shit or not.

    Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Sunday suggested that some protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza could be linked to Russia and urged the FBI to investigate.

    I don’t think this is a bad take. Russia will use social media for everything and anything that can magnify discord in American society. I don’t think they care about the morale position of any side as long as pushing the messaging causes internal conflict in the American political conversation.

      Of course Putin has been planning shit with Iran on the October 7th terror attack. Not even going to waste surprised Pikachu on that one.

      One of Putins big grievances was how good Ukraine was handling media. I’ve never seen a conflict being reported on for so long and still engaging people.

      Then the October 7th happened and almost nothing about Ukraine after that

      Ever since then the Russian troll factories have been running 24/7 making sure the Israel attack is the main focus.

      You can easily see the trolls working hard on fx Lemmy. All those users that are talking about how Israel is breaking the Laws of War while not having any comment history regarding Ukraine.

      Either a lot of them are trolls or they are people unable to be angry at two bad things at the same time.

      So yes, the Russians are working social media hard. It doesn’t matter if you’re pro Israel or pro Hamas to them, as long as you don’t talk about Ukraine.
