Our Autocracy Handbook is made even more timely by this horrifying account of the deportation of an Australian writer. So depressing that we need to think about this stuff. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Proud to be a coauthor on this important guide for scholars as we face a slide into autocracy in the US. A ton of useful information in here for anyone who wants to speak out against democratic backsliding and injustice, with salient points for those who need to navigate institutional politics.

My husband and I have spent the last three years taking all sorts of measures to protect our family. The horrifying reality is that none of them would matter if, in the middle of the night, a man who looked like a police officer showed up at the front door.

As someone who has been threatened for serving in government, the political violence in Minnesota this weekend—and the reaction to it—has been weighing heavily on me. I hope you'll take the time to read my reflections. wiczipedia.substack.com/p/on-politic...

The Minnesota shooter was a big InfoWars fan, according to his roommate. Naturally, his favorite website has spent the last two days calling their big murderous fan a Democrat and a patsy.

Another example of the right wing media machine selectively presenting and then twisting “evidence” into their strategic frames. This is how they work ALL THE TIME. As soon as an event happens, it’s all hands on deck to assemble evidence to fit their frames.

USAGM today urgently called back to work the staff of the Voice of America's Farsi language service. All had been on paid admin leave for the past three months with the rest of VOA's silenced journalists.

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

If you read one thing today, make it this. Our current Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy, who for years has shared conspiracy theories and misogynist, racist dreck, who shut down the State Dept’s counter disinfo unit, has some rather suspicious connections to Russia. archive.is/Q818Z

Seems like AI voice cloning likely to be in use here, though the article glosses over it. There have been several incidents involving high profile politicians and officials being duped with tech like this, though they usually believe they’re talking to a foreign leader, not being impersonated

According to Marco Rubio, censorship against U.S. citizens and residents is only okay when the Trump Administration is doing the censoring. He's denying visas to foreigners involved in what he deems "censorship"—aka regulators who stand up to Musk. americansunlight.substack.com/p/exporting-...

Thank you @ninajankowicz.com for speaking out - as Europeans our most valuable treasure is our national cohesions and our European project. We should not cave and get intimidated by our oldest ally. “Partner not friend” has never been so accurate. americansunlight.substack.com/p/exporting-...

In banning visas for alleged "censors," Rubio is hypercharging the censorship lie. He grossly misrepresents the actions our allies have taken to safeguard democratic discourse & public safety. I lay out the background and the ultimate goals here. americansunlight.substack.com/p/exporting-...

Hannah Arendt, sound familiar? "Totalitarian society, as distinguished from totalitarian government, is indeed monolithic; all public manifestations, cultural, artistic, or learned, and all organizations, welfare and social services, even sports and entertainment, are 'coordinated'."
