Are we going to talk about Elon putting his hand on the scales of our midterms with this blatant misinformation?
Elon immediately suspended this account that showed Nick Sortor’s recorded call to the mental health facility was AI generated and is preventing community notes on the Sortor post. It’s all hands on deck trying to make the fake Talarico story stick

Something strange is happening in the information war. Young Americans defending regimes like the Islamic Republic of Iran that jail protesters, strip women of rights and execute people for being gay. Self-described patriots on the right suddenly echoing narratives that benefit a country like Russia β€” which is openly hostile to the United States. How does that happen? Not through tanks or missiles. Post by post, people get pulled into camps that don’t actually serve their own country or their own values. They become pieces on a chessboard in a GRAY WAR β€” a conflict fought with information instead of bullets. And most people don’t even realize they’re part of it. The battlefield isn’t overseas anymore β€” it’s in your feed.

AI is supercharging information warfare. Influence operations are being automated. A single setup can generate content, schedule posts, reply at scale, and run engagement loops. When this is self-hosted, it does not rely on a platform vendor and it is harder to detect, take down or attribute. (1/5)

A joint statement from myself @SenMarkKelly, @RepJasonCrow, @RepDeluzio, @RepGoodlander and @RepHoulahan. β€œWe are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation. β€œWhat’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty. β€œBut this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity. β€œIn these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated. β€œDon’t Give Up the Ship!”

(1/2) I highly recommend you check out this [PODCAST] on #TheTeachersForum by my friend and colleague, David Harris: β€œChallenging the Narrative: Ismail Khalidi on Storytelling and the Palestinian Perspective” pca.st/episode/ca518efc-ddd6… #HealOurCulture #ResistAndHeal
Season 3 of The Teacher’s Forum opens with award-winning playwright Ismail Khalidi. His work powerfully gives voice to the Palestinian story too often silenced. We talk identity, art, and the role of educators in speaking truth to power. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

(2/2) As war continues in Gaza, Israel, the Middle East and historic Palestine, it is impossible to understate how important the human rights and international law issues are to our present and future. #HealOurCulture #ResistAndHeal
