I was delighted to chat with my friend and colleague Kristofer Goldsmith yesterday for The American Sunlight Project’s monthly teach-in.
In this session we covered how Kris became an expert in disinformation and radicalization when a foreign actor created a fake page impersonating his then-employer, the Vietnam Veterans of American; whether veterans are more susceptible to influence operations and how they act as force multipliers; and the trends in the information environment we’re most worried about.
Critically, we discussed the importance of small actions in resisting autocracy and fascism, and how you can keep the faith.
It was a great conversation—thanks to Kris for spending time with us and for all his work to educate veterans and Americans across the country. And thanks to all of you—including Matt Turner, PhD, Leta Mussett, Jenny Bloom, Ivan Nevarez, Kimmy Win—for tuning in.
