#360OS is LIVE - Fighting online extremism in the future w/ @NicholasRasmu15, @georgetownICAP's Mary McCord, @amyspitanick, @RachelMGillum, moderator @grahambrookie pscp.tv/w/c6IUlDFETEVC…
"There's no one brand of extremism that stops at the borders of any country. There are just different ideologies that are shared, in many cases globally." #360OS

👤|Mary McCord, @georgetownICAP
What are the markers on the path from radicalization to violence in both the international & domestic terrorism spheres?

An indicator for @georgetownICAP's Mary McCord is that once general ideological propaganda changes into logistical planning, the threat escalates. #360OS
"Research shows that a lot of extreme content on social media actually involves a fairly small number, but frequent users who are responsible for this content so it can often seem much more widespread than it really is and have a large impact." #360OS

👤|@RachelMGillum
“Toxic ideas can accelerate bounce off of each other and accelerate even further and faster…How we deal with that virality and that acceleration is probably one of our biggest challenges.” #360OS

👤|@NicholasRasmu15
"When a leading neo-Nazi tells you #deplatforming has impacted his ability to plan violent events as we saw in Charlottesville, that's meaningful, that's impactful." #360OS

On Friday, @CIJ_ICJ issued its ruling on provisional measures in South Africa’s case against Israel.

The court ordered Israel to limit harm to Palestinians but declined to order a cease-fire.

Atlantic Council experts share their insights. 🧵⬇️

The decision puts other states offering support to Israel on notice, writes @SLPJustice’s @Celeste_Kmiotek.

“Should the ICJ determine that Israel is committing genocide, the states that have aided Israel could also face cases before the ICJ.”

@SLPJustice @Celeste_Kmiotek “Today’s decision is an important blow to the argument advanced by Israel’s critics that death and destruction in Gaza are sufficient to establish a violation of the Genocide Convention,” says @ACMideast’s @TomWarrickAC.

Russia's war on Ukraine is also a war on global food security. A new issue brief by @anders_aslund breaks down how Ukraine's global granary has been stolen and suppressed by a Russian blockade on the Black Sea, and its impact on the global food crisis. atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-resea…
🇺🇸@RepMikeQuigley breaks down the global impact Russia's actions have had on food supplies and prices, and voices support for the recommendation that an international coalition ensures Ukraine's ports are open for critical shipping.
Since February, Russian ships have blockaded and mined Ukraine's ports and choked off international shipping. This means that Ukraine, one of the world's largest suppliers of grain and wheat, can't get its goods to market.

❝Russia has attacked not just us, not just our land, not just our cities, it went on a brutal offensive against our values, against our right to live freely in our own country, against our national dreams. Just like the same dreams you Americans have.❞ – @ZelenskyyUa
❝This is a terror that Europe has not seen for 80 years… Is this a lot to ask for to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine to save people? Is this too much to ask? If this is too much to ask, we offer an alternative. You know what kind of defense systems we need.❞ – @ZelenskyyUa
❝I have a dream. These words are known to each of you today, I can say I have a need. I need to protect our sky. I need your decision. Your help…Ukraine is grateful to the United States for its overwhelming support…However, I call on you to do more.❞ – @ZelenskyyUa

🔥Rising heat: It’s the theme of the summer with more than 1/3 of US states under extreme heat warnings.

Our conception of summer is changing from a time of fun & leisure to a period of emergency. @ArshtRock's @KBMcLeodFLA asks how we can relax when so many people are at risk?
Most people know the effects of global warming:
🌅Rising sea levels
🥀Mass extinction of plants + wildlife
🌊Worsening floods
🔥Fires
⛈Hurricanes

But heat is too often overlooked as a destructive force. Heat kills more Americans annually than any other natural disaster.
We cannot effectively combat extreme heat until we understand its scope.

That’s the motive behind @ArshtRock's new groundbreaking study. The study is designed to quantify some of the most important economic and social impacts of heat in the US today. atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-resea…
