Rise of Resistance: Decoding the 50501 Movement's Decentralized Power in the Digital Age

The 50501 Movement began on February 17, 2025, and quickly became one of the most impactful social movements in recent U.S. history.

The claim is just one of many false claims that Russia has offered to justify its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, including the baseless allegation that Ukrainian officials were committing genocide against ethnic Russians.
