If anyone is at all curious as to why researchers like myself and my colleagues are under attack, perhaps some of our papers might be of interest. Here's a recent one on participatory disinformation and the 2020 election: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20563051231177943

@esmichelson Thank you! I can assure you that no one on our team out here in the other Washington is "buckling". ;)

Good! 😆

Seriously, I know how exhausting it can be chasing down ignorance and corruption. It really does take a strong will and emotional stability to do the work. Just know I am here, as are others, for you.

Best wishes,
Eric
