An orchestrated campaign to stoke tensions over Target’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives deployed fake accounts to flood social media with manufactured outrage, a new report claims.

Accounts impersonating Black users actively promoted calls to boycott Target, using trending hashtags such as #EconomicBlackout.

President Trump has revoked Harvard University's permission to host incoming international students, the latest escalation in an ongoing battle between the White House and the country's oldest university.

In an executive order issued June 4, Trump declared that Harvard's admission of international students represents a threat to the United States.
