When you stop using X then open it back up after a while, you realize how obviously it’s designed to elevate vicious jerks who share Musk and Trump’s cruelest, dumbest beliefs. Harder to see when you’re addicted to it; blazingly apparent from the outside looking in. Journalists: It’s bad for you!

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

New Fighting Matters! FASHION, FITNESS, FIGHTING: HOW HATE GROUPS ATTRACT YOUNG MEN In this episode, Steve Kwan sits down with journalist @colborne.bsky.social of @bellingcat.com to expose how far-right movements use aesthetics and martial arts culture to recruit young men. youtu.be/lpSN4lNn_IM

can we not, faleminderit shumë

"On Sunday, October 26, about 40 masked and uniformed Second Sons Canada and Frontenac Active Club blackshirts led by MacKenzie assembled in front of CBC headquarters in Ottawa with a banner reading 'CBC hates white people'. A similar number assembled in front of the CBC building in Regina."

NEW: Whether you measure it by number of supporters, fundraising ability, or by the size of its militant groups, the white nationalist movement in Canada has never been larger or more of a threat.

On the “defeat” of the far right in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 The total number of far-right seats in the Tweede Kamer: 2021: 28 2023: 41 2025: 42 👈 And I don’t even count BBB here, which has radicalized significantly in the last year.

“While earlier cases have shown intersections between school shooter culture and extreme right ideologies, recent developments suggest a deepening and more systematic convergence between the two”

BIRN journalists obtained access to private Telegram groups where recruiters lure Serb mercenaries from Bosnia and Serbia to join Russian forces in Ukraine with promises of lucrative contracts and veterans’ benefits detektor.ba/2025/10/30/m...

looking forward to months and months of the interminable 150-square Rubik’s cube assembling that are Dutch coalition negotiations

With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

And the growth of the FvD should be seen as very concerning, given the extreme right nature of the party. In addition to its problematic stances, lets not forget that one of its MPs was convicted for incitement to violence

Netherlands, 9:00 PM Ipsos-I&O exit poll: Seat projection national parliament D66-RE: 27 (+18) PVV-PfE: 25 (-12) VVD-RE: 23 (-1) GL/PvdA-G/EFA|S&D: 20 (-5) CDA-EPP: 19 (+14) JA21~ECR: 9 (+8) FvD-ESN: 6 (+3) BBB-EPP: 4 (-3) ... +/- vs. Last election result ➤ europeelects.eu/netherlands

Exit polls in the Netherlands as polls close here suggest a considerable loss of seats for the PVV (37 to 25) with the centre-left/liberal D66 projected to take 27 seats as the largest party. Requisite grains of salt, exit poll, etc

There's a lot of news out there right now, but the Alberta government's use of the notwithstanding clause of the Charter to break up the teachers' strike is a big deal, and much hangs on the kind of opposition that shows up in response to the move. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

""He glorified extreme violence and attackers," the prosecutor said. For example, an image of Anders Breivik with B.'s head pasted on it was found. Regarding attacker Brenton Tarrant, who shot dead 51 people at a mosque in Christchurch, B. said online: "We need more Brentons."" archive.is/Q0MjM
