Glad I'm not the only one who has picked up on how much it looks like white supremacist "active clubs" are more centralized and controlled than they claim to be. Fascinating research in this piece

White supremacist "active club" groups claim they organize under a leaderless, decentralized structure. But what if that's not entirely true? My latest unpacks some odd patterns I saw that might indicate these groups are less autonomous than they claim to be. openmeasures.io/telegram-act...

Gordon Ryan's Instagram following. A slow, but not slow enough, descent.

One of the significant take aways from the Q2 Active Club Assessment is the pronounced shift in amplification toward youth groups. Many of the older, core active clubs have gone rather quiet. Youth groups account for a lot of the network amplification

My latest: I don’t respect America at 250. The only thing I can think of is how America is still a young, spoiled brat of a nation that no one is able to discipline. Foreign writers have been commenting on the US's developmental problems for centuries. karenattiah.substack.com/p/america-ne...

Once you understand the moral psychology of America's immaturity, everything about America's 250th birthday makes sense.

There's an organized effort to make a racist movement mainstream in Canadian politics. That's why experts were so concerned to hear the pro-mass deportation group's leader attended one of Canada's largest Conservative conferences. In my latest piece for @thetyee.ca, I dig into this rising problem:

Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal tomorrow. He will share the stage with no fewer than five people who idolize Hitler, including one who joined a group created by two Nazi SS members. Another guy is a self-described racist who refers to women as "cockroaches."🧵

One aspect of the UFC's relationship to Trump that mainstream media commentators get wrong is what precisely UFC did for Trump. Many things, but the most important: rehabilitating his image after Jan 6 + supporting a **candidate** for office with rewards that money literally cannot even buy.
