Ad hom is never good. But with all due respect, if you want to compete on expertise, I've got a PhD in this stuff, I teach and do research in it at one of the world's highest ranked communication institutions. I used to be a polcomm strategist and also a candidate and know what that's like...

Important piece about Republican disinformation passed off as "bad memes" #polcomm
There is no left-wing violence in Chicago or Portland. It simply is not happening.
It's so not happening, in fact, that Republicans in Oregon took footage from two South American countries to create a hoax photo about Portland.
They have no actual violent footage to put forward.

What effect can right-wing extremist internet memes have on society and democracy? @tom2105.bsky.social and #VeronicaBezold are researching this topic as part of the #ForGeRex network. In their new article, they also address the challenges posed by AI (see p. 264): tinyurl.com/yfs3wf9u
