For weeks now terrorism researchers have anticipated this moment would come. Now that it's here it's almost impossible to over state the impact this will have on American, actually global, safety from terrorist violence. This only puts Americans and our allies (those we have left) at greater risk

Future lists of social and institutional steps on the pathway to genocide Must include organizations that analyze and fight extremism abandoning their mission and endorsing other steps on that list. It's stunning and disgusting and just plain painful, and not enough people are speaking out,

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ? It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone. If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

It’s fascism. The Trump administration and its officials are engaging in fascist signaling. Bannon has long been on the cryptic fascism train. Why now? Because they know they won’t face repercussions for their true views.

I spoke with @davecantor.bsky.social at @vpm.org about the recent indictment of four CVLT leaders, a sextortion group that was the predecessor to 764. Whether its CVLT, 764, Terrorgram Collective or the entity not yet made, accelerationist networks rely on digital spaces to advance their harms.

Its not a fucking odd looking hand gesture, that was a Nazi Salute, a Seig Heil. Media has to do better, we have historical lessons we can pull from, rather than make the same mistakes of the past. Outlets and reporters cannot afford to be pushovers or brown nosers.
