"We made a promise, we swore we'd always remember No retreat, baby, no surrender. Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend."

A foiled terror plot at a Lady Gaga concert in Brazil—planned by extremists targeting LGBTQ+ people—highlights how global far-right networks are using social media to organize violence. As Pride Month nears, the threat is increasingly connected and transnational.
