Nothing below is actually evidence, merely assertions that lead back to military intelligence. If you are skeptical of the Russia story in the first place, I see no reason you shouldn't be skeptical of this story. The nature of the "link" is not substantiated. Imagine if instead Blacktivist is a real activist page that is now roped into the Russia story by reactionaries in military intelligence. The story is now black people's outrage is manufactured by Russia in the midst of reaction to the #TakeAKnee protests. What do you guys think?
"The Blacktivist Facebook account was among the 470 Russian-linked accounts identified by the social media network and disclosed to Congress earlier this month, the sources said. The matching Twitter account was among the roughly 200 accounts Twitter identified with links to those found by Facebook.
Facebook shared its findings about the accounts with Twitter, enabling Twitter to identify 22 matching accounts and an additional 179 accounts that linked back to those accounts, the sources said. This matching process went beyond public-facing similarities and included private information that could link the accounts.
All of the ads handed over by Facebook were linked to the Internet Research Agency, a shadowy company that U.S. military intelligence has described as "a state-funded organization that blogs and tweets on behalf of the Kremlin." A senior Kremlin spokesman said last week that Russia did not buy ads on Facebook to influence the election."
