Such an important issue that many people still have never heard of.

If you have kids in your life, please, please talk to them about best practices online. Help them understand signs of exploitation and manipulation, and let them know you're a safe landing space no matter what.

It is precisely these threats that led myself and Dr. Amy Cooter to co-found @icde.bsky.social this year. While the Terrorgram Collective may have fallen, the next threat is just beginning and we are determined to marshal all resources and stakeholders to get ahead of it.

Terrorgram's Saints Culture, which created these attackers, will persist into the future & generate even more violent events.

Even today, as you read this message, young impressionable boys & girls are being groomed into a cult of hatred and misanthropy and ultimately carry out their own attack.

The militant accelerationism movement produces some of the most antisemitic and xenophobic propaganda materials ever produced.

They have redefined how radicalization dynamics online occur, driving a trend defined by youth organizers (some as young as 13!), propaganda creators, and perpetrators.

For years I have led the @arcglobal.bsky.social as our research fellows dug into the Terrorgram ecosystem & Terrorgram Collective.

From Christchurch to Poway to Buffalo to Bratislava, many communities have been afflicted by militant accelerationism terror, which we have tracked and analyzed.

The Rise and Fall of Terrorgram | FRONTLINE FRONTLINE and ProPublica investigate how an online network known as Terrorgram spread extremism and violence.

I am deeply honored to have been part of AC Thompson and James Bandler's recent investigative reporting and the PBS Frontline documentary: The Rise and Fall of Terrorgram.

It is a crucial examination of a highly dangerous global terrorism movement.

If you want to better understand why Amy and I co-founded ICDE, then this thread is worth your time.

Promise.

Couldn't think of a better colleague and friend to run an organization with!

Thrilled to announce my new position as Deputy Director (and cofounder!) of ICDE.

More later!

Also quite excited to announce that @arcglobal.bsky.social will permanently be housed out of @icde.bsky.social!

Lots of big changes in the works. Stay tuned!

For weeks now terrorism researchers have anticipated this moment would come. Now that it's here it's almost impossible to over state the impact this will have on American, actually global, safety from terrorist violence.

This only puts Americans and our allies (those we have left) at greater risk

Thanks, Paul!

Really sorry to hear this John.

Excellent work from 3 ARC fellows!

The Institute for Countering Digital Extremism ICDE is a non-profit think tank and consulting group dedicated to combating violent extremism and advancing counterterrorism strategies in the digital age.

Couldn’t agree more Craig! Which is why @amycooter.bsky.social and I co-founded @icde.bsky.social and
www.counteringextremism.org this year.

But that exact mission of combatting online harms and protecting society from digital-based terrorist threats is now at great risk with USG funding gone.

Future lists of social and institutional steps on the pathway to genocide Must include organizations that analyze and fight extremism abandoning their mission and endorsing other steps on that list.

It's stunning and disgusting and just plain painful, and not enough people are speaking out,

Key takeaways:
- The nature of radicalization is changing
- More online than ever before
- Age is younger (13-18)
- Racial & gender representation increasing in historically white male trend
- 764 & TCC increasingly linked to perpetrators' radicalization
- Misanthropy and nihilism overrepresented

Experts warn that recent school shootings show growth in new radicalization pattern Some researchers say these recent attacks are examples of "nonideological" terrorism — the result of several antisocial, decentralized, online networks coming together.

A new piece out today from the incredible @oyousef.bsky.social looking at new radicalization patterns in school shootings in the US.

With comments from me speaking to insights generated by the amazing @arcglobal.bsky.social team!

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ?

It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI

He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone.

If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

It’s probably the preexisting fascist sympathies?

This will be an indispensable resource

It’s fascism. The Trump administration and its officials are engaging in fascist signaling.

Bannon has long been on the cryptic fascism train.

Why now? Because they know they won’t face repercussions for their true views.

Elon appears to be going more explicitly white supremacist fascism each day...

In case you missed it, I wrote about his and the Trump administration's history with fascist dogwhistles for @theconversation.com
