Share this instead of disinformation about Ukraine and Joe Biden 💁🏻‍♀️
There’s more analysis where this came from- I have a book coming out July 9!

Good morning! Amazing how many men just really are begging to be muted today.

Also, if you criticize the length or level of detail in this video, please know I've been engaging on this issue in other fora, in much more detail, for a long time. Links follow.
A very informative @BBCWorldService podcast that I joined with several experts unpacking corruption in Ukraine -- and the US role there. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…
Back in September (!) I spoke to @NewsHour's @JudyWoodruff about Trump's aid freeze and Biden's role in Ukraine. Amazing how little has changed in the intervening 8 months. pbs.org/video/blowing-…
In October I talked to @camanpour about the disinformation narrative around Biden and Ukraine, the US-Ukraine relationship, and US global credibility, now that the White House was peddling disinfo: cnn.com/videos/tv/2019…
(This screen grab is so strange- I look normal and not like a weird paper doll version of myself in the interview, I think???)
I wrote a bunch about the scandal for @PostOpinions and @POLITICOMag:

washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/1…

washingtonpost.com/outlook/five-m…

politico.com/magazine/story…
And I did a segment on Ukraine with @1A.

the1a.org/segments/2019-…

Fun fact: I did this intervie under a jacket, facing a large potted plant, as I was about to do an event in Vienna in a room with very high ceilings and everything was echoing.
There is more where all of this came from.

If you're looking for great follows on Ukraine (importantly, these are folks who are either Ukrainian or have spent significant time in country) I would suggest my intrepid colleagues @ChristopherJM @SimonOstrovsky @ianbateson @kquinnjudge @OlenaHalushka @dkaleniuk @sarahlain12

No, the scandal of our times is the President using disinformation to disenfranchise millions of Americans during a pandemic.
I am hoping that Twitter adds a fact-check to this tweet, though I fear it will already be too late by that juncture.
More on how politicians' use of disinformation undermines the global fight against it in my book, hardback out July 9, e-book out now.

In case you are still doubting how Facebook Groups suggestions work, a quick case study:

1. Search for "alternative health." Choose a group with over 70k members. Image
2. Here are the suggestions for that group:
-a white supremacist/conspiracy theory group called "Sheep No More" (hello pepe the frog), ~9k members
-a Qanon group, ~37k members
-an anti-vaxx/pro-Plandemic group, ~2k members Image
I've spent the last 10 days muddling through junk like this for a piece I'm working on, and I've been saying this for about two years now: if Facebook *really* wanted to prioritize discussions between friends and family it would get rid of group suggestions altogether.

A friend at State has just confirmed that this is actually happening. The United States is accepting coronavirus aid from the Russian Federation.
This isn't about banding together as humans, either. The Kremlin deploys foreign aid strategically. And I'm sure a lot of Russians in need aren't going to see a drop of it.
Russian aid* convoy going to Eastern Ukraine, 2014

*Though some supplies were delivered this aid convoy, it was also used to smuggle soldiers and weapons into occupied Eastern Ukraine. Also interesting to deliver aid to a war zone you created
