Today far-right anti-immigration rioters in The Hague assaulted a press photographer, attacked police, tried to storm the under-renovation Binnenhof and smashed the liberal D66 party office windows…. nos.nl/liveblog/258...

i mean there’s a guy from a Dutch far-right group sitting in custody right now on terror and weapons offences and another foiled neo-Nazi attack on Eurovision 2020 where the guy planned on using chemicals like cyanide and ricin but ok tweede kamer nltimes.nl/2025/09/19/d...

Norway: “Ethiopian-born Tamima Nibras Juhar (34) was brutally killed…by an 18-year-old client with German citizenship who was born in Serbia. The suspect, who allegedly planned to commit further violence at a mosque, had been on the radar of [security services]…due to his extreme-right views”

No law authorizes the president to designate something as a domestic terrorist org (only a foreign terrorist org), so it will be interesting to see what law he invokes here (if any). “Domestic terrorism” is more of a concept than anything with a legal underpinning.

“”Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives,” the study said.”

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Pro tip: if you're trying to hide the location of your latest far-right 'fight night' all the blurring and and tight shots won't help you if you host it in a place with bright orange walls (and also lie to the owner about why you're renting the place) www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

“Lang’s conviction brings to a close a nearly 10-year odyssey spanning four continents in which he deserted the US army and joined far-right volunteer forces in Ukraine fighting Russian troops. He also later tried to fight al-Shabaab militants.”

An Active Club “fight night” in San Diego masked as a fitness shoot hosted combat sports and neo-Nazi bands. “The history of violence associated with Active Clubs is clear,” says @heidibeirich.bsky.social. Two weeks later, members were linked to an alleged assault. More from @colborne.bsky.social:

I touch on this assault in my @bellingcat.com latest on their ‘fight night’ 2 weeks ago, but SoCal Active Club founder and leader Robert Wheldon is indeed one of the attackers - he kicks the man on the ground twice and strikes him with the flagpole twice before running away bsky.app/profile/acat...

Far-right fight nights are events bringing together combat fighting, extremist bands and merch, in an attempt to bring in new recruits and solidify existing relationships. @colborne.bsky.social locates the latest event for a California-based group: www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

“Manitoba Pride Alliance said in a statement posted to social media on Saturday that organizers of the parade in the southeastern Manitoba city were forced to cancel the event "due to credible safety threats connected to far-right extremism."”

“”The world is watching,” Tommy Robinson [Stephen Yaxley-Lennon] told those on his march. But most of London, a city of nine million people, simply wasn’t.” www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...

When I write in articles that these guys are “preparing for violence against their perceived enemies” with all their little ‘fight night’ events, this is why

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.” Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

This is the owner of X actively campaigning to take down the elected government of a country he is neither a resident nor a citizen of - and using threats of violence in the streets to further his aims www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.” It existed yesterday and is gone today.

On the Utah shooter's meme bullet casings, and how the extremely-online shooter is now commonplace. From @sheeraf.bsky.social, Richard Fausset, and me. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...

The rise of authoritarianism and autarky. Italy, 1921-26, is a more relevant comparator than Germany in 1933. By 1926, fascist totalitarianism was in place. In a climate of militia violence and several fascist laws from 1924, the dictatorship took hold and not through a single Enabling Act. 1/n

A woman's rape is being treated by police as a "racially aggravated attack". The perpetrators reportedly told the woman during the attack: "You don't belong in this country, get out." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“It isn’t clear whether this [NSBM concert] evening will once again take place at the "Taverne de Thor", the "clubhouse" of the Lorraine Hammerskins (LHS) in Combres-sous-les-Côtes…or whether the neo-Nazis have once again managed to rent the village hall of a local municipality” 🇫🇷

“The leak and the eventual reveal of what was on the bullet casings is important, if only for illustrating exactly how unprepared for this current moment both law enforcement and the mainstream media are.” www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...

This plus @wsj.com with the ‘transgender ideology’ nonsense really shows just how much a lot of journalism is absolutely bricking it at a time when actually being accurate and fair about what you’re reporting matters most

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot

"Three down arrows" is being widely interpreted as an antifa logo. But the full description of the inscription is "up right down down down," and the other inscription, "Hey fascist, catch!" both come from the game Helldivers 2. Online culture is such a morass of symbols/meanings. Watch your step.

In Serbia 🇷🇸, founder of violent far-right group Levijatan Pavle Bihali (who has links to Serbia's security services) reacts to the assassination of Charlie Kirk in an Instagram story "My attitude changes from tomorrow. We will defend ourselves by all means."

The markings that supposedly expressed “transgender ideology” were………..a series of arrows.

“[His] accounts also include references to Holocaust denial, and the name of one of the accounts appeared to end with a reference to a prominent white supremacist slogan.” www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Leading UK Blood & Honour figure Robert Talland was sentenced to 4 years in prison today, plus a year on license, for charges including inciting racial hatred and disseminating terrorist publications. His adult son and daughter also received prison sentences www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/neo...

⚠️ NYT reports that the WSJ claims about the “ideology” on the bullets “might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted.” Gift link for ongoing updates: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Tonight, a group of miscreant Groypers gathered to scream “White Men Fight Back” on the Huntington Beach Pier, in reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. No perp has been caught yet.

would really love to camp out inside Dima’s brain for 5-7 seconds at most

ie time (for me at least) to log off for the day

folks, I've never lived through years of mass political violence but I do study it for a living: you don't want to live through years of political violence.

political violence is bad

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Don’t watch a video of someone being shot unless you have to (say, for your job). It’s bad for you and doesn’t gain you anything.

A 4th individual is in custody related to racist attacks last month in Stockholm 3 young men were arrested last week for aggravated assault after racist attacks where the men reportedly shouted slurs and made Nazi salutes. Arrestees reportedly have connections to the Active Club movement in Sweden

The largest aid flotilla in history has been attacked twice in two days whilst in port in Tunisia. Open source analysis suggests an incendiary munition is to blame, contradicting official statements. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

Given that international pundits are starting to pay attention to the Dutch election: there is more than one far-right party in the Netherlands. If you want to assess how the Dutch far right is doing, you can't just look at the PVV but you have to include FvD and JA21.

This is how federal agencies have used minor traffic stops, especially targeting moped delivery drivers, to funnel people into immigration detention and deportation. More than 40 videos analyzed with our partners @bellingcat.com shed light on the tactics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1iP...

Reports of an attack, allegedly by a drone, on a vessel in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), while anchored outside the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. The below video shows the moment of the incident. Keep it in mind when you read the next post. www.instagram.com/reel/DOXaR_M...

An easy story for reporters in tech and extremism right now might be to ask major music streaming platforms why they quietly let Skrewdriver back on some time this year

In half of the incidents in our dataset, local DC law enforcement could be seen working alongside federal agents. In some cases, federal agents wore plain clothes and lacked any identifiable badge or patch; many wore tactical vests bearing the words "Police" only.

Instagram always was — and is increasingly — used by neo-Nazis and related ilk to push propaganda and monetize hate. All through 2025 I’ve noticed content I don’t think I’d have seen quite as much of in years past (anecdotal, to be sure), and content not in English really seems to get a free pass
