TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Trial began Tuesday in Florida for four activists accused of illegally acting as Russian agents to help the Kremlin sow political discord and interfere in U.S. elections.

All four are or were affiliated with the African People’s Socialist Party and Uhuru Movement, which has locations in St. Petersburg, Florida, and St. Louis. Among those charged is Omali Yeshitela, the 82-year-old chairman of the U.S.-based organization focused on Black empowerment and the effort to obtain reparations for slavery and what it considers the past genocide of Africans.

    IMO:

    US it’s all about how likely you are to repay your debt.

    Yes, playing the game how they want you to will keep you in the safe area.

    Not, like, how many times you heil Xi or avoid eye contact with Pooh bears (I joke) (or do I?)

    If you follow the free speech news and the political tribalism in the US, you would see that we do not differ that much with the China calims being said.

    It seems like every day we get closer to what negative things we say about other foreign nations.

      Can you help us out with a few names in recent years we can read about?
