I feel like I should save this article for use in a future discussion.
«”…it’s honestly a bit disconcerting to realize how slow we are to piece back together the broader picture of Russian information operations. There are still things that we don’t really know.”»

I love that we come to this site through a site on apartment interior decorating (I guess?). Like… “Get your shelves in order, get your soul in order”-type stuff.
Kate Germano (@kate_germano) Tweeted: “But in a nation still struggling with the legacies of slavery, Jim Crow laws, and white supremacy, we must have these tough conversations if we have any hope of turning the page and healing. This new portal is a step in that direction…” https://t.co/KzAO6pHcrW

To do: ask my local NAACP branch if they think this is a good list. (I’m guessing the answer will be “yes”.)
Or not. Here’s a counterpoint: https://twitter.com/LilyBolourian/status/1266058333997367296?s=20

How urban or rural is your state? + COVID-19 stats
Interesting how urban Texas and Arizona are.

(Don’t know how important it is that 538’s partisan lean figures don’t include 2018 election. That election seems to have been a Pretty Big Deal.)
Now, couple that with whatever per-state COVID-19 stats you like. I’m assuming cold-weather states like Alaska and Vermont have a lot of people indoors (i.e., in close proximity), but Mississippi might a good rural state to track. Or West Virginia, if you think structural racism might affect the figures. Or both, really, MS and WV.
