This is part of an ongoing series where I review some of the ads purchased by the Russians. In doing so I hope we can get a better understanding of what they were trying to do, and how to recognize it the next time we’re faced with propaganda.
If you want to follow along, the ads can all be downloaded here. All of today’s ads can be found in the 2016-q2/2016-04 folder.

P(1)0003842 did the same thing, this time directly targeting black Sanders supporters:
P(1)0000598 wanted Trump supporters to tag their pictures, too, but this time it was to be pictures of their kids. The ad was targeted to fans of “Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry” and Trump Jr, among others. There’s a sweet humor to there only being one click through:
THIS IS AN OPEN THREAD. Take care, and have a great Saturday.
