WILD

• For the first time, the brand is introducing a fragrance collection, composed of four Eau de Parfums.
• The timeless label adds a refined touch, while the Donna Karan logo is debossed on the neck as a subtle detail.
• Inspired by the drape of a timeless Donna Karan dress, the sleek, dark exterior is asymmetrically spliced with accents of gold.
• Opening with a sparkling Golden Peach, the fragrance releases an addictive blend of Labdanum and Cashmere Woods – its sensual signature.

• What set Jan. 6 apart was the president of the United States using his cellphone to direct an attack on the Capitol, and those who stormed the Capitol being wired and ready for insurrection.
• My co-authors and I, a media and disinformation scholar, call this networked incitement: influential figures inciting large-scale political violence via social media.
• Networked incitement involves insurgents communicating across multiple platforms to command and coordinate mobilized social movements in the moment of action.
• The reason there was not more bloodshed on Jan. 6 emerged through investigation into the Oath Keepers, a vigilante organization composed mostly of former military and police.

Social media as command and control

• What happened in D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, does not easily fit into typical social movement frameworks for describing mobilization.
• Even with the availability of social media, networked social movements still need mainstream media coverage to legitimize their cause.
• As in prior social movements, the networking capacity of social media proved to be an important conduit to bring strangers together for the occasion.
• The call to action for Jan. 6 came from the president himself in a series of social media posts enticing supporters to come to D.C. for a “wild” time.
• Tweets like these from a prominent figure became social media’s equivalent of shouting fire in a crowded theater.

Mobilizing for violence

• The purpose of these documents was to explain the rationales and mental states of the accused, while also offering a defense or explanation for their actions.
• We analyzed the documents, looking at the multiple motivations for the insurrectionist mobilization.
• In sum, we concluded that disinformation mobilizes and incites political violence under specific conditions, such as a popular public figure calling for help.
• Oath Keeper Meggs’ tweet illustrates that even before Jan. 6, militia groups were looking for signs from Trump about how to proceed.
• An investigation by NPR also illustrated how Trump’s messages emboldened participants and ignited the events of that day.

A dark future

• The use of social media for networked incitement foreshadows a dark future for democracies.
• Clear regulations preventing the malicious weaponization of social media by politicians who use disinformation to incite violence is one way to keep that future at bay.
