Russia has carried out a massive terrorist attack on the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv. Rescue crews are battling the fire and searching for survivors who may be trapped inside. People have been killed. Others took to the windows to escape the fire.

I'm so incredibly tired. Attacks, victim-blaming, attacks, victim-blaming, on and on and on. I want to scream into people's faces that it is not our fault that Russia is killing us, and that we need help. ​I once naively thought that if social media had existed during World War II,

A lie does not become truth because millions believe it. Wrong does not become right because the majority accepts it. And evil does not become good because enough people choose to look the other way. The masses can make evil normal. It can never make it right.

Day 1674 of Russia's illegal war on Ukraine. In 12.5 years of invading and killing, Russia has captured a total of 116,000 km² - that is 0.68% of Russia's legal territory. So it's not about territory or needing ports. It's about subjugation, annihilation of Ukraine. Here's Thursday's daily🧵

Rumors about “rigged elections" are now a fixture of U.S. elections, leading to diminished trust in election results & democracy (broadly). These rumors can sometimes be hard to debunk, esp. in their early stages. Our UW team has identified the 6 common ways that election integrity rumors mislead:
Infographic titled "Six Ways 'Rigged Election' Rumors Mislead." A two-column table pairs six labeled categories with descriptions. The first three categories are:

No Evidence: The rumor is entirely unsubstantiated. There's no evidence to support the rumor.

Fake/False Evidence: The rumor is based on fake or synthetic evidence (e.g. AI-generated content), manipulated evidence, or false witness testimony.

Misinterpreted Evidence: This rumor is based upon real evidence that has been misinterpreted or intentionally mischaracterized to create a false impression.

A black banner then introduces the final three categories: "Real Evidence, Real Voting Issue, False Narrative."

Exaggerated Impact: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but falsely insinuates or exaggerates impact on election results.

Ignored Remedies: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but ignores and/or obscures the remedies that would address this problem

False Blame: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but either falsely attributes intent for an accidental issue or places blame on an innocent party.

KALLAS: We Europeans can’t be mediators between Russia and Ukraine. We’ve always been on Ukraine’s side, we’re not neutral. Negotiators also shouldn’t put all the pressure on Ukraine, which, by the way, is the victim here, as Russia started this war and has done all this damage.
