🔸Was surprised Mum thought Koike's opponent Renhō belonged to the Japan Communist Party, but seems many like Mum, who saw WW2 firsthand and are not enamoured with LDP antics, are wary of the JCP, China, and Russia.
"Shelby Busch — chair of #Arizona ’s delegation to the #Republican convention — was in court trying to learn the identities of local #elections workers. Under oath, she said she was unaware of any #threats that had been made against the people who helped run the last presidential #election...
This week, #video emerged that showed Busch saying she would “lynch” the official who helps oversee elections in #Maricopa County"

If you’re a politician serious about stopping AIPAC’s foreign influence over #US #elections and you’re beaten in the Dem primary by an #AIPAC tool, then maybe you should run against him in the general election as an independent. Otherwise you’re not that serious about it.

#Stanford’s top #disinformation #research collapses under #RightWing efforts
Stanford #Internet Observatory, which published some of the most influential analysis on the spread of false info on #socialmedia during #elections, has shed most of its staff & may shut down amid #political & #legal attacks that have cast a pall on efforts to study #online #misinformation.

Brown University professor Claire Wardle said the #Internet Observatory had created innovative methodology & trained the next generation of #disinformation experts.
“Closing down a lab like this would always be a huge loss, but doing so now, during a year of #global #elections, makes absolutely no sense … We need universities to use their resources & standing in the community to stand up to criticism & headlines,” said Wardle, who led #research at anti- #misinformation nonprofit First Draft.
In a joint stmnt, Stamos & DiResta said their work involved much more than #elections, & that they had been unfairly maligned.
“The politically motivated attacks against our #research on elections & #vaccines have no merit, & the attempts by #partisan #House cmte chairs to suppress #FirstAmendment protected research are a quintessential example of the #WeaponizationOfGovernment.”
