In 2020 I led a study on gendered abuse and disinfo against women political candidates. We found 336k pieces of abuse & disinfo targeting 13 candidates; 78% of that targeted Kamala Harris. After Biden’s endorsement, here are some narratives and tropes we should look out for: (1/)
1. Sexualized narratives, claiming Harris “slept her way to the top,” or that she is sexually promiscuous. In 2020 we found that users engaging with this narrative were more likely to engage with other abuse and disinfo. They attempted to undermine her fitness for office (2/)

2. Transphobic narratives are also often employed against women in public life; in 2020, users claimed Harris couldn’t have risen to a position of power without having secretly been a man. They falsely alleged she had been a man named “Kamal Aroush” before transitioning. (3/)

I didn’t want to have to send a letter like this, which is why I wasted hours last week answering Shellenberger’s inane questions in hopes he’d do actual reporting. Instead he shoved my quotes next to allegations for which he has no source but his own overactive imagination. 1/

Not to be outdone, Taibbi also made sweeping & false statements of fact. I guess when you have nearly half a million subscribers frothing at the mouth for your next tall tale you have to keep them paying their subscription fee somehow. Gotta keep that Substack $$ flowing! 2/

IMO, there are at least 2 other motives here
1: these fine gentlemen are trying to keep the folks who work on disinformation occupied with anything but their actual research. Long lists of absurd questions, the answers to which they do not care about, are a great way to do so. 3/

Dear lord. There is so much wrong with how this study was conducted. Let us count the ways. (THREAD)
1. As we found in our #MalignCreativity report @TheWilsonCenter, there is an entire movement on Twitter and other sites by abusers to evade detection from AI / content moderators, so a list of "300 commonly used English-language slurs" ain't conna cut it. wilsoncenter.org/publication/ma…
2. @Twitter's focus on impressions shows they are not interested in actually reducing harm, just reducing how it *looks.* It doesn't matter if a tweet calling for your rape and hanging gets 10 impressions or 10000, they both are harmful to the target.

🙄 This is a ridiculous and hilariously unbelievable claim for anyone that has been paying cursory attention to the war.

Short thread 🧵
From the beginning of the full scale invasion, this has been the most digital conflict in history. 1000s of social media posts detailing troop movements and attacks thave been verified by the open source community- including eyesonrussia.org, where we have 8000+ such pins
The best thing about this map is that you can click around and check our work! Don’t believe us? Go through and try to come up with an alternative explanation. We’re all ears.

I got another influx of hateful messages over the weekend. Unsurprisingly, it’s because Tucker Carlson talked about me on his show on Friday.

For those keeping track, it’s been over SIX MONTHS since I resigned my position at DHS. Tucker and his goons are still obsessed with me.
Since my resignation, the network has attacked me 20 out of 26 weeks.

Respectfully, what the fuck is wrong with them?

Trying to destroy my life is good business for them, I guess.

(Fair warning, my Jersey roots are going to come out in this thread.)
They continue to repeat absolutely baseless lies about me and my work. (I am not going to engage with or amplify them here. They’re simply too absurd to lend credence to.) Of course there’s loads of misogyny- Tucker has referred to me as a “ditzy sorority girl,” “dumb,” & more.

In a way I lost Twitter six months ago when it became a place where strangers sent me and my then unborn child death threats. I’ve since had to block literally hundreds of thousands of people to make it sort of useable again, but it will never be what it was. (1/)
That doesn’t mean it’s not fundamentally worth saving—some of my very best friends and favorite experiences have started on this platform. I’ve been on here since the days I texted my tweets to 40404 on my flip phone. (It took ages.) (2/)
I grew up on here. I started this account during my first DC internship. Until a few years ago, I only had a handful of followers. It has seen me through job hunting, marriage, 2.5 presidencies, a Fulbright, two books, and heartbreak. But. I haven’t ever auto deleted tweets. (3/)
