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.

    This trail is a major breaking point for the American Empire, another Russiagate people continue to fall for.

    I suggest to also check out independent journalists and others you do not agree with, just to push your bias a bit.

    Also: OP,can you stop saying “IMO”. It’s your comment… we already know it’s your opinion.

    hahaha, I was making sure, can’t be too safe on lemmy.
