In my debut column in @JewishJournal, I study the subtext of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Gaza trolling of Hamas — now with the Trump Gaza AI video — and speak with journalist and propaganda expert @AsraNomani. She tells me that "propaganda porn” is Hamas’ latest weapon and.

As Trump trolls Hamas with a "Trump Gaza" video, @JewishJournal Editor @DavidSuissaJJ publishes a brilliant column by journalist @Chitra_Ragavan: "Trump’s Mar-a-Gaza vision faces one roadblock: the Hamas Inc. brand that’s survived the destruction."

Thank you to the @thedailybeast and its thoughtful editors and readers for the critical conversation on how VP Kamala Harris can leverage style to win. In a new column, I write about why these are conversations are not sexist, but strategic.

The youthful, vibrant and telegenic Harris can (and must) use style and semiotics as weapons in her communications arsenal. The youthful, vibrant and telegenic Harris can (and must) use style and semiotics as weapons in her communications arsenal.

Former Pres. Obama just complimented Tim Walz on “those flannel shirts he wears” as a symbol of his authenticity. What about VP Kamala Harris? I write @DailyBeast: “Kamala Harris is Well-Suited for President–but Poorly Dressed.” Read my tips for the VP to power up her pantsuits.

OPINION | Amid the biggest political battle of her life, Harris has failed to leverage one of the most powerful communication tools for female leaders: her sense of style, writes @Chitra_Ragavan.

In my new @TheHill @HillOpinion column, I argue that Kamala Harris must flex her national security muscles. By drawing parallels between 9/11 and 10/7, Harris can frame her message on security in a powerful way that resonates deeply with Americans.

Thanks for the kind words @AsraNomani. You’re doing a valuable public service as the elections draw close by filtering out the noise of the political campaigns, the overheated rhetoric, the misinformation, and the downright lies. And you are thwacking your way through this.

Thank you so much @Chitra_Ragavan for being such an inspiration as a journalist and thought leader! You make my reporting here in Springfield, Ohio, sharp! Here is me doing what you teach: getting the court documents!

7/ By positioning Tim Walz beside her, the theory was that Kamala Harris would have been able to focus on demonstrating competence without the social penalty of being perceived as less warm. It's a strategic move in a biased system. Critics may call this a concession to biases,

6/ As @MayaGodbole @the1stnoellem + Virginia Valian wrote @Slate, Harris struck the “almost impossible balance” in 2020 v. @HillaryClinton in 2016 who was cast as cold but competent. I argue Harris still needs the perception of “competence” Walz lends her.

@thehill 4/ This double bind hamstrung Fani Willis @FaniForDA during her court hearing on @DonaldTrump, and Kamala Harris knew she couldn’t afford the same trap. Having Walz beside her isn’t just political—it’s psychological. Read more here:. Thank you to

3/ Before she picked Tim Walz as her VP, I argued in @TheHill that Kamala Harris needed a white man to help her navigate this “warmth competence gender misogyny” — a psychological double bind where women aren’t seen as competent if they appear too warm.

2/ The double bind of the warmth-competence matrix is an unfair obstacle, but it’s a reality Kamala Harris has had to navigate her entire career. This is how the matrix works: Women who are warm aren’t seen as competent, and vice versa. Men, however, can project one and be

1/ In her interview with @DanaBashCNN, @KamalaHarris had to have @TimWalz by her side. Why? To navigate the sexist "warmth-competence matrix" that women, especially women of color, face in leadership. I unpack it here 🧵 and in my new @PsychToday column.
