Serious question back to you: Could you show us a source that says you were responsible for slavery that happened 150 years ago? I suspect that *nobody* has said you're responsible for that.

Nina Moore of @colgateuniv is joined by Tara Ross of @OnondagaCC, Sarah Pralle of @SyracuseU, Rick Fenner of @uticauniversity and Chad Sparber of @colgateuniv to discuss what the Democrats next steps should be after gaining control of Congress.

ICYMI- @spitzerb of @RockGunResearch says a legal challenge to a new state law on sales of convertible weapons is one of many challenges across the country. capitolpressroom.org/2026/10…

We examine how images and video can be taken out of context and used to create misleading narratives. Catholic bishops were photographed and filmed praying with the president in the Oval Office, with the material later being used to suggest a political endorsement. However, the bishops were actually there to discuss issues surrounding religious freedom, abortion, and school choice. The incident sparked an apology from the bishops after they felt their presence had been turned into an unexpected public relations opportunity. We explore the dangers of political messaging, media manipulation, and the importance of understanding the full story behind the images we see. #wcny #pbs #ivorytower #news #currentaffairs #privacy #media #politics #religion #trump #catholicchurch

We explore the growing misuse of AI-generated images and how they can be used to spread misinformation. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly advanced, the potential for these tools to manipulate public perception and create misleading narratives grows. We take a closer look at the impact this has on the credibility of information, the spread of misinformation, and our ability to distinguish fact from fiction. #wcny #pbs #ivorytower #currentaffairs #news #opinion #ai #socialmedia #politics

Nina Moore of @colgateuniv, Tara Ross of @OnondagaCC, @DrBenBaughman of @GannonU, Jennifer Stromer-Galley and Grant Reeher of @SyracuseU discuss the impact of deepfakes on American voters. Can the average voter tell the difference between fact and fiction? Plus, how are these ads contributing to the increase in partisanship? However, some of the worst ads from this election have been generated organically.

We explore the growing threat of deepfakes and their potential to undermine public trust in the media. As AI-generated images and videos become increasingly convincing, misinformation can spread rapidly, influencing public perception and muddying the waters surrounding election campaigns and polling. In an era where seeing is no longer believing, how can we distinguish fact from fabrication? And more importantly, can we trust what we see when making decisions that will shape the future of our country? #wcny #pbs #ivorytower #news #opinion #voting #midtermelections #accountability #ads #negativeads #campaign #campaignstrategy

From the 1600s-start of 20th cent. every state in the country enacted anti-concealed weapons carry laws. My new book @OxUniPress

Wonderful!

Old gun laws were everywhere in early America and were essential to our country’s development. My new book @OxUniPress

Nina Moore of @colgateuniv hosts and is joined by Norrell Edwards of @LeMoyne, @PolSciLukePerry of @uticauniversity, Rick Fenner of @uticauniversity and Anirban Acharya of @LeMoyne to discuss the unexpected twist in the midterm elections.

In this @ConversationUS op-ed, @spitzerb (@suny_cortland) explains why the upcoming SCOTUS hearing on assault weapons will “bring to a head the multi-decade dispute over restricting assault weapons that extends far beyond legal arguments.” Learn more. ⤵️ theconversation.com/why-the-…

Interesting though wrong on most counts. My 7th book on gun policy due out in a few weeks. Happy to sign a copy for you if you send my way. Have a nice day.

Not hard to figure what the Sup. Court is likely to rule when it takes up the constitutionality of assault weapons laws this fall-but one hopes it will consider what these laws are about. My piece: theconversation.com/why-the-…
