On the topic of infiltration... remember how Russia infiltrated activist groups including BLM and even organized on-the-ground events and promoted protests in multiple US states? Now is probably a good time to keep that in mind.

Also, the secessionist movements are making noise again. Those, too, were heavily promoted by Russia. (The leader of ‘Yes California Independence Campaign’ — a major Calexit movement — was found to be living in Russia). So that’s also something to keep an eye on.

The takeaway here is that the reality of the situation is complicated, and may involve multiple groups of bad actors, foreign & domestic, posing as both left-wing & right-wing protesters. We need to be prepared for this or we’ll fall prey to it just like we did before.
