Our new piece on antifa, and why Trump’s unconstitutional orders designating antifa as a domestic terrorist organization set a dangerous precedent for Canada (and everywhere else) www.cifrs.org/post/trump-s...

Charlie Kirk’s assassination has sparked global far-right calls for civil war and violent retribution. Extremist groups and influencers are targeting left-wing figures, journalists, and trans communities, spreading conspiracy theories that blur online hate and real-world violence. Read more:

If anyone wants to talk about Groypers and where they came from, hit me up. I did my graduate work on them in 2019/2020 when they were first emerging and (unfortunately) I’ve been following them ever since

August 12th marked 8 years since the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Although time has passed, we will not forget. In memory of those lost to hate and radicalization, lets start another Unite the Right roundup 🔥🧵 #IgniteTheRight

Lauren Southern trying & failing to become a tradwife shows the massive shift from mid-2010 alt-right girls to the present day role of women in the far-right. The alt-right wasn’t pro-woman but it let a few female grifters slip through the cracks

Fat Vance is now canon

I decided to create a substack to write about young women & girls being radicalized into the far-right. Fair warning that it is deeply unserious and silly because it's the only way I won't lose my mind talking about this substack.com/@marielcooksey

Excited to share the little interview I did with Sara Petersen in preparation for her piece for Bustle. It’s been 4 years since I published my original article for @praeyesright.bsky.social on why gen z women are attracted to the tradwife lifestyle, and the #tradlife movement continues to change

Based on the way he's using social media today Canada would be going to war with Iran on the behalf of Israel if Pierre Poilievre had won the election

🧵MEGA THREAD: I'm tracking the far right anti-LGBTIQ groups targeting LGBTIQ events during Pride Month. Also, how are organizations, corporations, and lawmakers responding to the Trump Administration and Republicans' ongoing efforts to erase and criminalize the transgender and queer community.

My imposter syndrome is now dead, this headline killed it

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it: This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

THREAD 🧵 Internal State Department records show that months of warnings have become a reality: The Trump administration’s sudden withdrawal of foreign humanitarian aid has brought about death, violence and unrest. 1/

just noting that Joe Rogan's Russell Brand arc is starting

I guess being anti-bombing and starving children gets you put on the “threat” list

no he didn't that's not him what the fuck is wrong with you freaks

A secret experiment that turned Redditors into guinea pigs was an ethical disaster—and could undermine research that’s only getting more urgent, @tombartlett.bsky.social reports. https://theatln.tc/xtKXNOyA

Call for Chapters from @cifrs.org for an edited volume examining how the far-right uses alternative media (e.g. Gab, Truth Social) alongside major platforms like Facebook and X, and how this impacts publics. More info: www.sssp1.org/file/Announc... Abstracts due 25 May.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim promised in 2022 that he would hire 100 new police and 100 new mental health professionals. He took no time in doing the former, and still has failed to deliver on the later.

Replace Duolingo with anything else.

Just to update everyone on how cons in the western provinces are reacting to a liberal win. I guess seceding from the nation is a more palatable concept than participating in democracy

Last night NDP voters saved Canada from the surging hard right, but had to sacrifice our own party in the process. Today the battle begins for a system where we don't have to do that any more. We badly need a party that can save Canada from the oligarchs who brought us all to the brink.

Elections Canada says this viral video claiming to expose workers taking ballot boxes home is inaccurate. The boxes did not contain marked votes but were being used to transport signs, forms and other supplies needed to set up polling stations on election day. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

This is the cover of the Vancouver Province newspaper the morning after 11 people were killed in an attack on Fraser Street.

Full story: Summoning ‘resilience,’ Vancouver’s Filipino community grapples with unimaginable grief in the aftermath of Lapu Lapu Day tragedy. thetyee.ca/News/2025/04...

Between this and their instagram post, I’m so sick of the CPC politicizing this tragedy when everyone I follow in the Filipino community has asked people not to politicize this. The conservative legacy is years of defunding the kind of mental health care and social services that would prevent crime

my plan to get people to start having more kids? make climate change worse. abolish the department of education. also milk is poison

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

CBC doing so much to help Pierre out even though he’s going to gut the corporation once he wins. There are progressive women under 30 out there too, you could be talking to them! www.cbc.ca/news/investi...

This is unhinged. And it’s not Trump land. It’s British Columbia, Canada. 🤦 “He said requiring prospective employees to declare their adherence to equity, diversity and inclusion principles is reminiscent of Cold War-era anti-communist loyalty pledges at universities.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

John Rustad isn't on Bluesky but I still want to emphasize how utterly insane it is that a party which continues to court the far right & engage in actual antisemitic conspiracies somehow agrees that @seanorr.bsky.social is "antisemitic" for calling out antisemitic conspiracies. Like wtf dude.

Pierre Poilievre is promising to do for Canadian foreign aid what Donald Trump did for USAID. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/pierre-poi...

I still can’t get over how fun it was so go out and canvass for @copevancouver.bsky.social & @seanorr.bsky.social yesterday! The weather was beautiful, we elected a dedicated democratic socialist to city council, and Jaime Stein blocked me on Bluesky :) the day couldn’t have been better

The world doesn't have to keep moving further right. A socialist just blew all the other candidates out of the water in Vancouver (one of Canada's largest cities). People are sick of the oligarchy. Running on ending billionaires, taxing mansions, and building supportive housing! 🏳️‍🌈🍉

I've cracked the code of why byelection lineups are so long in Vancouver today. It's not just a turnout question. Compared to the 2017 byelection, the city decreased the number of election workers by EIGHTY PERCENT. From 1,250 in 2017 to 250 this time around. This was a staff recommendation.

Happy By-Election Day Vancouver! Here are all the places you can vote today, polls are open until 8 PM vancouver.ca/election/202...

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask
