Very much enjoyed chatting with Miranda Melcher of the New Books Network (@newbooksnetwork.bsky.social) about my recently published book on misinformation in war and conflict, "Seeing is Disbelieving: Why People Believe Misinformation in War, and When They Know Better." Can listen here: newbooksnetwork.com/seeing-is-disb…

Today on New Books Network (@newbooksnetwork.bsky.social) - CMIST's Dan Silverman (@dmsilverman.bsk*.social) discusses his recently published book on misinformation in war and conflict with Miranda Melcher. Tune in: newbooksnetwork.com/seeing-is-disb…

I have been asked today how to support Ukraine, financially. The best way is to give to military Otherwise, please give to education, the future of Ukraine Here is a story of a student at our KSE University. You can support people like her here foundation.kse.ua/en/?form=FUNDA… 1/

MAGA is making the claim that if you watch the entire 50 minute video, Zelensky is the antagonist. This isn't true. At all. I was with Zelensky before this meeting and it's important to know his mindset heading in. 1/ A short 🧵on how the entire ambush went down.

There is so much projection here. Some of us actually have views and knowledge of world politics that long predates DJT. This reminds me of Republican voters Googling “who is Viktor Shokin?” during all the Hunter Biden brouhaha in 2019-20.

Nice to see my study on attitudes in wartime Ukraine with Austin Knuppe & Anna Pechenkina out in International Studies Quarterly! We argue that two different deep "mindsets" -- an injustice mindset and a survival one -- compete to shape civilian views of peace in wartime. doi.org/10.1093/isq/sq…

Looks fascinating

NEW: Miami Herald reveals that one of the people imprisoned in El Salvador HAD LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS. He entered the country legally in January and was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had passed a full background check. Without warning, he was sent to El Salvador.

Last week, we celebrated the launch of CMIST's Prof. Daniel Silverman's first book "Seeing is Disbelieving", which unpacks the spread of misinformation in conflict zones and the psychological dynamics that shape beliefs in wartime. Thanks Dan Silverman (@dmsilverman.bsk*.social) for your engaging lecture!

Imagine if George Soros did this

This video is so disturbing. I’ve always considered myself pro-Israel. But if that now means arresting, jailing, and deporting someone whose only “crime” we know of was writing a pro-Palestine op-ed, then count me out. I want nothing to do with that.

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

This is truly amazing. The Deputy White House Press Secretary is claiming that I'm wrong, and that the "tariff rates" on Trump's chart were calculated by "literally" measuring every country's tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers. To prove it, he screenshots the formula the USTR

In a way, you've got to hand it to us. By imposing comprehensive sanctions on ourselves, the U.S. is showing great consistency in dealing with "rogue regimes."

These are the words of someone who has absolutely no understanding of the scientific method. There is no way to know in advance that a study will arrive - by September, no less! - at a definitive conclusion when looking at the etiology of a condition.

Quick question: is telling people who simply disagree with your illegal deportations that they support a “mass invasion” of our country “smug, self assured bullshit” or no? And do you not think our ancestors also built this country?

"the mass invasion of the country my ancestors built with their bare hands" is just total fascist claptrap
