Forensic research links @DallasJusticeN1 to @arena_wins, a Republican PR firm, which in turn is linked to known astroturf operation @keepdallassafe. This is a deep fake.

As soon as Casie Tomlin found the FedEx envelope in her mailbox, she knew something looked fishy. Inside, a flyer from a group called Dallas Justice Now urged parents in Dallas wealthy and largely white Highland Park and University Park suburbs to not send their kids to Ivy League schools.
The parents needed to make space for students of color, the statement said. If they didnt sign the pledge, Dallas Justice Now would publish their names online. The statement also appeared on PR Newswire, a pay-for-play press release service.
Then, she typed a few questions on Dallas Justice Nows Facebook page. She donated money to the group to see if she could get more information. She tried to contact the people behind it.
Before she knew it, Tomlin had been doxxed. Dallas Justice Now published a follow-up press release, accusing her of being a white supremacist. The group then wrote several posts about Tomlin on its Facebook page.
