Ahead of the election, anti-government militias are using Facebook to recruit, coordinate training, and promote ballot box stakeouts. Meta isn’t shutting their groups down and is even auto-generating pages.

    Sounds like the government should eat Meta’s lunch before extremists eat their’s. They won’t tho. They’ll let every tiny far right group smear shit over the white house again.

      It’ll be just like 2020: react after the damage is done and pretend they weren’t complicit.

    I just read an article about a ballot box being lit on fire in a heavily blue locale. After my initial horror I thought why there as opposed to anywhere else blue? There’s a tight contest for the house rep in that district, a purple district.

      It was Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon. Heavily blue areas closely surrounded by heavily right areas.
