Thic coincides well with the Dedication of the Memorial for the kids and teachers shot to death at Marjorie Stoneman Fouglas High School in Parkland, Floeida. Yay! What a great way to remember them.

Elise, along with other ISD analysts, has long studied Russian influence campaigns and argues that Tucker's content gives them ammo to back up their narratives in a much better way than they ever could. "Their tactics may change, but their strategy remains broadly the same: stoking existing divisions and turning up the dial on polarisation, rather than seeking to invent new issues with no basis in reality."
