Um…bit bold to call the story I broke on Tuesday a “Star analysis” with zero credit to me!

This is such a bummer. I worked really hard on this one.

Hootsuite CEO says ICE contract will stand as long as agency honours terms and conditions ‘We did nothing wrong here,’ head of Vancouver social media company said in internal call with employees

There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Canada just updated its list of designated terrorist groups to include three ideologically motivated violent extremist groups — ones that are pretty darkly disturbing.

The newly listed groups include 764, Maniac Murder Cult and the Terrorgram Collective.

Here's what you need to know:

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue is delighted to announce the launch of ISD Canada.

This expansion strengthens ISD’s global footprint and deepens our commitment to Canadian partners working to address all forms of hate and extremism, foreign interference, and information operations. 🔽

Nihilistic violence includes violent acts lacking a unifying ideology or political goal, often driven by misanthropy or a desire for notoriety in online communities.

No, that's politics.

Science is about evidence, testing, and validation.

It's new article day! So excited that this piece with @luccousineau.bsky.social and @iamryanhopkins.bsky.social is out in the world. In it we work through our experiences studying the far-right & propose some ways universities can better support students.

Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise For the first time in more than 30 years, attacks by the far left outnumber those by the far right.

1/n A few days ago, an article appeared in The Atlantic with a bold headline “Left-wing terrorism is on the rise.”
