It was a pleasure to share my research at #asen2025 on the role of bottom-up #digital nationalism — or what I call “user-generated nationalism” — in online hashtag wars between pro- and anti-Trump partisans. Looking forward to another day of insightful talks and discussions.

Lemme know if you want to a copy of the #preprint.

It’s not the merriest of Christmases in Gaza and Santa doesn’t have much to give to children, but he still visits them, shakes their hands and listens to their stories.
Spare a thought for how families in Palestine, the land where Jesus was born, are spending Christmas as you enjoy the festivities.
