My reply to the Times article is below their post. If this is all done by right-wing folks, they should say so.
Disinformation has spread widely on social media as protests against ICE raids have unfolded in Los Angeles, rehashing old conspiracy theories and expressing support for President Trump’s actions.

It sounds like this is all being done by the right wing. Your post and headline should say that. Maybe something like "Disinformation has been spread widely by right-wing posters on social media…"

These days, it feels like every time there's a protest, the old clickbaity "pallets of bricks" hoax shows up right on cue. You know the one, photos or videos of bricks supposedly left out to encourage rioting. It's catnip for right-wing agitators and grifters.

This happened 2 months ago. It’s just rage-farming to push merch. Plenty of awful stuff is happening right now; there's no need to recycle old stories like they’re breaking news. This only adds to the noise & confusion, & that’s exactly how disinfo & distrust spread. archive.is/2025.04.18-2…

An earlier post on misinformation about LA.
Sad!
