Shout out to my mom for putting me in French immersion, because I just had the best time on @tlmep.bsky.social!! 🥰❤️

Canada recognizes a Palestinian state — while still calling what the UN has determined to be genocide a “humanitarian disaster.” It’s also still putting conditions on a recognition of self-determination.

And yet *I* was the one listed first on that doxxing website??????

Oh wow. This is….mortifying lmao

lmao

Canada’s government is focused on what matters: making sure an Irish rap group with a history of controversial commentary can’t play their music in Canada. Meanwhile, our government still refuses to address the actual genocide that band Kneecap has been vocally opposing:

I am SO excited to share I'm going to be on Tout Le Monde En Parle on Sunday!!! Make sure you tune in so you can judge my French 🫣

‘There’s no way they’re going to win’: Journalist Rachel Gilmore on reporting on the far right in Canada Morning File by @suzannerent.bsky.social, who as the headline states, interviewed @rachelgilmore.bsky.social

Re: Scheer's quote about Gilmore: "So much hate in her." Anyone who is not a cis, straight white man with money often gets called hateful, negative, difficult for standing up for themselves or others. I've been called all these things! Unfortunately, too many people don't know the difference.

Such a great interview -- Suzanne is awesome. Read her full piece here:

In today's Morning File, stories by @dartjenhen.bsky.social & @timbousquet.bsky.social. Plus: I interviewed @rachelgilmore.bsky.social about her reporting on the far right and the threats she received last week after Andrew Scheer reposted one of her tweets. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

TLDR: Ben Mulroney DONATED nearly the maximum allowable amount to the Conservative Party of Canada — and is now the interim host of one of Canada’s top political shows. I’ve got the receipts:

Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims. Canadian media struggles with this too. Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host. It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

Surreal week, truly. Rolling Stone piece: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

The anonymous liars who created this website falsely accused @rachelgilmore.bsky.social of “supporting political violence,” when she was actually warning about right-wing retaliation for Charlie Kirk’s murder It sounds like the anonymous liars behind the site could be facing lots of legal problems

"In the United States of America, if you say 'mint majesty tea with two honeys' is an extremely weird order, they'll fire you from your job and doxx your home address"

It’s not just the United States. If you’ve followed my reporting, you already know: Canada also has a far-right extremist problem. Now, they’re using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a moment to mobilize, recruit and further radicalize their followers:

Did anyone see Ezra Klein's TikTok? Someone who cares about that man needs to take the shovel away from him

I researched TPUSA when I was in grad school. I had experience with researching the far right which is why I picked the org. I had to look up the tax returns from the first year and Montgomery was very much a co-founder. He recruited Kirk. TPUSA was Montgomery's idea. He also had money.

Liberal MP Ernie Klassen says he "did not stand" when others (including several Liberal cabinet ministers) gave an ovation in response to a Conservative MP's tribute to Charlie Kirk. "Neither did many of my Liberal colleagues," he adds.

GOING LIVE UNTIL 9:00pm ET COME HANG AND DISCUSS A VERY SLOW AND UNEVENTFUL WEEK FOR ME 🤪 TWITCH: twitch.tv/rachel_gilmore TIKTOK: www.tiktok.com/@rachel_gilm... YOUTUBE: YouTube.com/@AtRachelGil...

Global News is making Ben Mulroney the interim host of The West Block, its flagship political show. Yes, the nepo baby who compared the idea of a genocide in Gaza to that of a “flat earth” and who told Mark Carney he should “be afraid of Pierre Poilievre.” I can’t imagine how this could go wrong!

HAHA WHAT THE FUCK

Canada’s Parliament just gave Charlie Kirk a standing ovation. You can oppose political violence without rewriting the legacy of a man who did a lot of harm to vulnerable and marginalized communities. But Canada’s politicians, some media and many employers don’t seem to entirely understand that:

Jesus Christ. A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons. You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

On The Current just now, Matt Galloway amplified that Kirk’s shooter was “radicalized by the left” and “has a transgender romantic partner“ as motives for the shooting. Left as-is, no questions.

The best part of being independent is there’s no one to cave to bad-faith online outrage. I realized I needed to insulate myself from that, and luckily you guys made it possible. Here’s where you can support my work, if you’re interested ❤️ patreon.com/rachelgilmore rachelgilmore.substack.com

The most amazing part of this is that the far right didn't target her because she celebrated Kirk's death or even threw his own words back at them. She merely expressed a well-founded worry that his murder might inspire the far right to greater violence and they apparently took that as a challenge.

Our institutions are failing us.

A guy who used to unsuccessfully beg me for feet pics is now trying to get me banned from the USA

❤️

OthmanOnX, who I know hangs out in Twitter Spaces with “Canadian Nationalists” with ties to Diagolon, was the first I saw sharing the link to charliesmurderers on Twitter. I’ve suspected he was behind it since day one.

The best time for media, government and employers to actually understand social media and how it can be gamed by bad-faith actors and false outrage was a decade ago. The next best time is right now. Unbelievable how stupidly some of them are responding to blatant hateful opportunism right now.

Elon Musk and several of the largest accounts on Twitter are doing everything they possibly can in this moment to focus the violent retribution people are braying for right now towards trans people. It is IMPERATIVE to be loud ally right now and defend the trans community with our whole chest.

Still nothing from major Canadian English-language media (that I’ve seen). I feel like this is really odd? Like I’m almost starting to worry it’s…personal from newsroom decisionmakers? I hope it’s not because that would be very upsetting lol

Surreal to see this in CNN. What a wild week. I feel so awful for everyone on this site. I’ve dealt with this on a smaller scale before, which means I take a lot of safety precautions in my daily life. But most of those listed are private citizens just thrown to the wolves. I’m so worried.

Irresponsible vagueposting from a sitting Canadian MP. Who is “we” and what are they “going to win,” hm?

Look I might be having a bad time right now but I just remembered the song Gucci Gucci by Kreayshawn exists so things are looking up

❤️

A bit rich coming from Poilievre when his own wife retweeted a post by Andrew Scheer directing the right-wing mob to go after @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. His family’s safety matters. No so much those who don’t subscribe to his political project.

One thing that kinda blows my mind: I spoke to national French-language media all morning about this. I did three separate interviews before 10am. I was interviewed for the U.S. publication WIRED about it. But English-language Canadian media? Crickets. It’s just so odd!

Hi. I’m Rachel. My name is first on the website the North American far-right is using to target people they say “celebrated” Charlie Kirk’s death. There’s just one problem: I never did that. But the people sending me threats don’t seem to care. Let me tell you, in my own words, what happened:

So sorry I didn’t end up putting together a video today, guys. This has just been a LOT and I ended up going to the police station to file a report. I will, however, be on Leftist Mafia tonight! So hopefully see you there ❤️

the website that lists Rachel first as someone allegedly celebrating Kirk's murder screenshots a tweet where she explicitly condemns violence & says she hopes he survives. for that she's receiving death & rape threats

Grateful @davidgilbert.bsky.social covered this. I NEVER celebrated anyone’s murder. I said I was terrified the far-right would use this as an excuse to retaliate, and they’re proving me right with every post. These guys are out for blood. They don’t care whose. This is really bad.

SCOOP “I have folks claiming my information is all over 4chan telling me in the same breath that they hope I get ‘raped and killed’" @rachelgilmore.bsky.social tells me, after her information was posted to a site called Charlie's Murderers www.wired.com/story/right-...

Not sure I’m gonna be up to making a video today folks. I’ll try but I’m not doing so hot

This is what happens.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre just said Charlie Kirk was killed “for having expressed contrary views.” We still don’t know who was responsible for this shooting or why they did it.
