The QAnon universe, now absorbed into MAGA, still interprets Trump’s most ordinary gestures as coded signals. Even a photo without a tie becomes “proof” that something is happening.

🔮 A millenarian, apocalyptic mindset turning the everyday into prophecy.

There is one thing we should pay attention and be worried about these letters, and it's not that Trump TACO again or the grammar.

It's the last line, the one about national security.

Because that is the key used to override any institutional counterbalance and justify authoritarian ruling.

Not a fan of the term “nudging”?

🛠️ Redesign the world so people default to what you want —
but make it feel like their idea.

🙇‍♂️ Honored to have joined #AJBrussels to discuss how #Russia uses #disinformation as part of hybrid warfare, targeting the vulnerabilities of citizens and societies. Big thanks to Rumena Filipova for stellar moderation and to my incredible co-panelists for their sharp insights.

Remember that thing that happened last week? Yeah, me neither. The attack on Trump is old news, already disappeared from the news cycle, and it'll probably have no effect on #USElection2024. That's how it works in a fast paced information ecosystem. #Harris2024

I was honored to be the keynote speaker at DECONSPIRATOR workshop. During my talk, I focused on how #disinformation thrives on grabbing attention and pushing individuals towards extreme viewpoints. That's why empowering citizens is the most crucial defense.
