Stoked to see a fairly substantial excerpt from my book with @stephaniecarvin.bsky.social, published today in @thewalrus.ca:

Marjane Satrapi: Iranian film-maker and graphic novelist ‘dies of sadness’ at 56

Today, @thewalrus.ca has published an excerpt of my book with @amaramarasingam.bsky.social on the Canadian far-right, Blood and Soil. You can read it for free here: thewalrus.ca/what-three-e...

BREAKING @ms.now: Scott Pelley fired from CBS News after tense ‘60 Minutes’ meeting This is a massive loss for the network: Pelley has won >50 Emmys and half of all major awards earned by 60 Minutes during his time at the network.

A proposed Trump policy would put Russ Vought in charge of American science. Its an example of the slow creep of politicization into processes that both parties traditionally understood as needing nonpartisan and expert guidance. What can you do about it? 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-creep-...

Excellent travail sur les représentations faites des attaques terroristes selon la figure de l'auteur Dans le dataset, 2 attaques liées au milieu incel: Umpqua & Toronto S. De Coster @yveilleuxlepage.bsky.social @amaramarasingam.bsky.social & @tahirabbas.bsky.social pt.icct.nl/sites/defaul...

Definitely remembered to pack that brass-button coat.

Hard to believe Bovino is heading to Europe to speak at a conference on Remigration alongside several people who are avowed admirers of Hitler.

Before Sharyn Alfonsi sent a memo in December accusing Bari Weiss of yanking her CECOT story for "political" reasons, she had privately attempted to resolve the matter with Weiss directly, @nataliekorach.bsky.social reports. Weiss never called. More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/sharyn-alf...

The manifesto written by the San Diego attackers is the clearest recent example of how “saint culture” — a phenomenon that positions previous attackers as sacred models whose work must be continued — has galvanized the militant far-right. @amaramarasingam.bsky.social writes.

The San Diego Islamic Centre shooting was not an isolated act of hate. It was part of a far-right “curriculum of violence,” where attackers study, cite, and try to outdo one another. My new piece for @theconversation.com theconversation.com/the-san-dieg...

It's publication day! Mine and @stephaniecarvin.bsky.social's book is now available anywhere books are sold: www.mqup.ca/Books/F/For-...

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott delivers commencement speech to Kansas City Art Institute graduates. Wait for it…

Finished "For Blood and Soil" by @stephaniecarvin.bsky.social and @amaramarasingam.bsky.social. A good one-day read into RW extremism in Canada, covering history and the current state of these groups. Looking forward to a Secure Line ep on the nexus between RW groups and the AB separatists (hint)

+1

On that note, I've been surprised by analysis calling the San Diego attack "nihilistic" (NVE). To me, it's clearly a REMVE case: an example of what @amaramarasingam.bsky.social, @maargentino.com, and @grahammacklin.bsky.social called "The Cumulative Momentum of Far-Right Terror."

Really sharp framing from @amaramarasingam.bsky.social, calling the terrorist attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego the result of (and an addition to) a far-right "curriculum of violence, which turns attacks into instructional material." @us.theconversation.com

Always worth reading @amaramarasingam.bsky.social and this is a good piece on the San Diego mosque attack and how it follows a long established far-right template theconversation.com/the-shooting...

What a day for AI resistance resources! 1) The AI Resist List from @karenhao.bsky.social and colleagues at DAIR at airesistlist.org 2) The Luddite Lab from @alexhanna.bsky.social and colleagues at DAIR at labor.dair-institute.org

“The shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego is part of a far‑right curriculum of violence” by @amaramarasingam.bsky.social

The entire manifesto is dripping with meaning, purpose, and a utopian vision. There is nothing nihilistic about it.

"The public’s voice is clear. Television networks, universities, and indeed all of our institutions would be well served by heeding the people’s civic courage. It is not just the right thing to do – it is backed by the public."

Just ordered my copy and you should too!

Spoke to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social about the San Diego shooting, the perpetrators, and the challenges of regulating the online space. www.youtube.com/watch?v=918S...

Amarasingam has been my go-to-guy from extremism north of the border for a while. This book will be essential reading on both sides of the border (and a must-read for people getting citizenship via C-3 who have Canutopia delusions).

Ordered!

Canada is no stranger to homegrown hate. For Blood and Soil by Amarnath Amarasingam and Stephanie Carvin shows how Canadian hate movements have evolved historically and been rebranded, with extremist ideas moving seamlessly between online spaces and real-world violence. Out now! buff.ly/Ojc2cXq

Buy this book. These folks are real smart.

After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime. Farewell, and thank you, Stephen. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/farewell-and-thank-you-stephen-colbert

Huge congratulations!

Was on CBC Ottawa Morning this morning, talking about the book. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

I did a deep-dive into US ambassador Pete Hoekstra's links to the Alberta separatists' voter ID app Hoekstra repeatedly promoted the app at 2024 Trump rallies Hoekstra helped them organize presentations, is connected with the app's founder and the founder's wealthy step-father was a past donor 👇

Maybe some local Michigan news orgs would be interested to know that a group of Michigan Republican operatives from the Grand Rapids-area are connected to an unfolding Canadian political scandal @detroitfreepress.bsky.social @detroitnews.com @michiganadvance.com @bridgemi.com

"The Trump administration has struck what some see as the final blow to PEPFAR, the vaunted US program that has saved the lives of 26 million people living with HIV. The State Dept now says that as of 30 September, CDC support for PEPFAR will end in most countries." www.science.org/content/arti...

Trump’s second term is all about being fairly blamed for things that Presidents are usually unfairly blamed for.

To learn more about the demise of this year's RightsCon gathering, I spoke to the executive director of Access Now, Alejandro Mayoral Baños, and the director of RightsCon, Nikki Gladstone, about their experience, why this moment matters, and what's next for the community they convene.

Palestinian photographer Saher Alghorra was awarded the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography for documenting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. His photos are worth seeing, so here’s a gift link:

Oh, that is sure to add a few bucks to the total then.

Our university forced cuts on the Faculty of Arts & Science, said they couldn’t afford TAs, cut a mountain of admin staff, and told us the university was facing deficits in the tens of millions. Now we learn there was an $84M surplus — but apparently it can’t be used for actual education.

I spent a lot of time reading US government records documenting the torture of prisoners in US military prisons and CIA black sites, so I'm relatively inured to this kind of thing, but the accounts in this @nickkristof.bsky.social story are truly sickening. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

And this folks is exactly why universities shovel money towards accountants and consultants. Faculty unions: if you don’t already have one, IMMEDIATELY create your own university finances task force to shadow them.
