By a pretty huge margin Americans think that having international students at US universities is good for the country, not bad -- 56% to 14% (+42)

Excited to share our new @AJPS_Editor paper! We analyze 5M+ Douyin videos from 18K+ regime-affiliated accounts and show how propaganda is now produced and spread through a decentralized model on social media. Four years of work with an incredible team: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
How has digital media transformed authoritarian propaganda? In our new @AJPS_Editor paper with @YingdanL_kk, @jenjpan & @xuyiqing, we proposed a *decentralized propaganda* model and empirically demonstrate its existence on Douyin: doi.org/10.1111/ajps.12990 🧵

New blog by @JustinSandefur and me on USAID cuts by country and updated (again) sectoral cuts based on the list that went to Congress today.
Ukraine $1.4bn cut. Ethiopia, the DRC, Colombia, South Africa, Palestine, Bangladesh, Kenya, Afghanistan, and Tanzania >$200m
Excited to have this one w/@mkguliford published at @PRQjournal.

Uganda security personnel have attacked, beaten and arrested journalists covering Kawempe North by-election.
Some media equipment have been seized while others have been damaged.
Security personnel are literally hunting journalists, who are now in hiding.

My piece -- The Coming Age of Territorial Expansion -- is the cover story in today's @ForeignAffairs. Climate change, shifts in technology, and an eroding global order are driving new contests for land and resources not seen in decades

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

While attention is on the Elon Ebola comment, this is the really big news of the day. More than 90% of USAID contracts (projects) terminated. Meaning basically everything, including much of the food and emergency aid that was supposed to be exempted.

(1/4) Recent layoffs of federal workers has a disproportionate impact on Native Americans, but is receiving almost no media attention. In Indian Health Services, which provides healthcare to 2.8 mil NAs, 2,200 people were laid off, including 1,400 who provide direct patient care.

The state of play, a week into Elon's assault on USAID.
USAID is in a state of suspended animation - it has been powered down, but it's not *quite* to the point where it can't be powered back on.
What happens next comes down to the courts & Congress.

Hey @SamaritansPurse - President Bush's signature achievement PEPFAR remains in danger despite Secretary Rubio's waiver for humanitarian purposes. Can you help? Can you talk to President Bush?
