Twitter has made big strides in identifying state-run accounts. Puzzling that they give them algorithmic promotion anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Twitter's "More Tweets" algorithm, which shows tweets from accounts you do not follow, is promoting Russian state propaganda accounts. This one popped up for me underneath a tweet by a left-wing US activist. https://t.co/gfdWkXBEAW — PolitiTweet.org

I have to imagine that some portion of the Russian elite are starting to wonder whether global isolation, economic devastation, and now an open-ended crackdown led by an angry and isolated old man is maybe more trouble than it’s worth https://t.co/tCVs4PzkE1 — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear there are a great many heroic and brilliant reporters doing important work that happens to run on TV, for which I'm very grateful. But TV is a big enterprise and lots of people are involved in, say, deciding how a major story is framed for viewers. — PolitiTweet.org

Since there’s been some confusion on this point let me relay that the war in Ukraine is “about” many things but American culture war issues are not among them. Thanks for your attention — PolitiTweet.org

I've been very grateful for all of the incredibly informative expert commentary in recent days, but there is a lot of bad information out there. Be careful in your information consumption. If it's entertaining and provocative give it 10 extra grains of salt. — PolitiTweet.org

I reported on this in 2018, finding avocado production in Mexico controlled by big farmers who hired out militias specifically to resist cartels. Since then there's been back-and-forth, with reports of cartel extortion. https://t.co/rx2XDo8pSN — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

This is a very interesting thread but FYI this bit about cartels controlling avocado production in Mexico is false, or at least very exaggerated. I can't speak to the rest of the thread. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing to watch: Whether Germany's radical foreign policy shift – majorities express fear of a major war and support for rearmament – leads to an uptick in long-simmering talk of a “Europeanized” nuclear weapons program based in Germany. — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t think people have internalized how rapidly Russia-NATO indirect warfare is escalating, or how easily an accident or misunderstanding could spiral out of control — PolitiTweet.org

If you’ll forgive the meta commentary, one way you can differentiate serous experts like @KofmanMichael from hot takers is that the former is willing, even eager, to acknowledge when developments are surprising or unclear — as they often are. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

@dylanmatt Given that an NFZ would mean destroying air defenses within Russia, which would also have the unintended effect of looking exactly like the start of a decapitation assault on Moscow, odds of nuclear escalation plausibly north of 50%, potentially by a lot — PolitiTweet.org
