"This book feels like a smart friend giving you a crash course in spotting lies everywhere – from the news to social media." therookiejurist.com/nonfiction-g...

Once promising to bring users together, social media has instead been used to spread disinformation, sow division, and radicalize. On May 20th join me to discuss how we got here, who benefits from discord, and how to recognize messages designed to divide and deceive canyondems.org/event/genera...

Trump's EPA just took down its chemical accident tracking tool, weeks after chemical lobbyists demanded the administration shut down the website. The locations of thousands of high-risk chemical plants across the country are now shielded from public view. #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #DemsConnect

OMG. “After DOGE gained access to NLRB’s systems, there was an increase in attempted logins from locations outside the US, including a user with a Russian IP address. The person with the Russian IP address appeared to have a correct username and password, created minutes earlier by DOGE engineers.”

This from @monacharen.bsky.social encapsulates how I have felt over the past few weeks. When I crossed the US border recently, I took precautions I used to advise Russian dissidents to take when going home. I didn't need them- this time. www.thebulwark.com/p/are-any-of...

Now through May 11, 50% off the audiobook of How to Win the War on Truth! www.audiobooks.com/promotions/p...

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

I’ll be at the LA Times Festival of Books at the end of April. It’s free and open to the public. Swing by the booth to say hello, or purchase a copy of my book!

Wrong headline. It should read: NATION’S LEADING SCHOLARS ON FASCISM FLEE TO CANADA Yet another examplw of how mainstream media has failed us. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/...

Two of the nation’s most prominent scholars on fascism are fleeing to Canada. The fact they are both leaving the US does not bode well. :/ yaledailynews.com/blog/2025/03...
