The Infodemic: How Censorship and Lies Made the World Sicker and Less Free is out today! With @RobertMMahoney, we documented a global assault on rights carried out under cover of #COVID19. @RonanFarrow called the book “an essential record.” Here is a thread with our key findings.
📢. This Saturday!
@JoelSimonSays will be joined by @AnneGarrels to talk about his new book (coauthored with @RobertMMahoney), THE INFODEMIC, at The Cornwall Library, in Connecticut.

"All of independent journalism in Russia has been shut down," @NewYorker Editor David Remnick explains why we must support independent Russian voices that are risking their lives to spread the truth about Putin's war in Ukraine.
Some #Ukraine updates and photos: We're providing Ukrainian territorial defense volunteers with drone kits, combat jackets, hand-carried supplies of medical and protective gear, and more. Thank you all so much, every contribution counts! #StandWithUkraine https://t.co/7Ngf65VNll
Putting aside policy, it really is striking, when you explore it, how similar pro-Putin narratives in Russia are to MAGA. "They're all corrupt" rationalization of corruption, "they all lie" rationalization of lies. Melding of performative bullying with unrelenting victimhood.

Curious about Russia?
I've reviewed Anne Garrels' 2016 book, 'Putin Country: A Journey into Russia.' https://t.co/sO9rTJKTkq
Or, you can listen to her NPR book-interview:

I am now reading Orlando Figes' 'Natasha's Dance: A Cultural History of Russia.'
At the launch of his new book Freezing Order, @Billbrowder says his book is “to make life difficult for Western enablers” - an issue that has only become more important since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (1/8)
Long time @NPR listeners may recall Anne Garrels great reporting from Moscow & other hot spots. She has co-created an org that takes 0% overhead off donations, and directly supplies #Ukrainian hospitals and defense forces. Every $ goes where it's needed.

In 50 days we’ve delivered more than $500,000 of medical and protective gear to Ukraine but more is needed. Go to https://t.co/74UK8ulvZ0 to help keep going. Here's a photo of one of our stalwart helpers on the ground. https://t.co/6aQRj5Os1R
@hilltopcarolyn @AnneGarrels currently up to Ch 7. This book is really hard to put down. It’s really interesting to read about Russia “outside” of Moscow. @PeterZeihan - his work about the demographics of the country echoes Anne’s words in Ch 6 “The Russian Family” - thanks for your amazing work.
