Me and @grahammacklin.bsky.social are putting together an edited collection looking at the use of pseudoscientific ideas by extremist movements. If you are interested, please send us your abstracts at this link: forms.gle/mAUtpDGNEj9i...
The apparent implosion of OneBC seems to centre largely around one staff member - Othman Mekhloufi, who OneBC staffer Wyatt Claypool said (on X) has "insane race 'blood and soil' politics."
We have audio of Mekhloufi from August talking about political strategy.

Don't be fooled. Bill 13 (the Jordan Peterson law) isn’t about free speech or even off-duty conduct of professionals.

If you think that part time faculty in Canada should be paid more than ~$26k/year teaching four courses, should get benefits, and should have a path to permanency, sign + share!
We're on strike for what's already been settled at other universities.

They’ve started running Dick Cheney through the Charlie Kirk sanitation machine.
The man pushed false WMD claims, justified torture, and expanded unchecked executive power after 9/11. He showed zero remorse for the hundreds of thousands who died in Iraq.
Like… stop it.
We're not becoming authoritarian, we already are. The question should now be: how do we survive?
Don’t let anyone change the reality of who Fuentes is. Now that he is more mainstream, there will be an almost involuntary reaction on the part of many to see him as legitimate.
He’ll use that to great effect, as he already did with Carlson.
But never forget: this is who Fuentes actually is.
It actually is mind blowing to check out X and see what is essentially 4chan which is also populated with politicians, media figures, "thought leaders" etc.
A dystopian horror, really. Where neo-Nazis now have equal standing with mainstream leaders. There is a reason Fuentes is now so mainstreamed.
On Monday morning, the UCP voted to get rid of the guy who’s investigating the health contract scandal.

This was such a blast! So grateful when folks in the media give academics the space to talk about our work in accessible and public-facing ways.
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.

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?
“The memos classify huge swaths of political advocacy and belief as potentially contributing to political violence and domestic terrorism, directing law enforcement and federal agencies to investigate and possibly charge advocacy groups and their funders.”

“You can’t be a politician AND a journalist,” and he said a leave of absence should have been mandatory.

Since the Annunciation shooting in Minneapolis, I have bee transcribing the attackers diary, I have transcribed 231 of 291 pages. The diary is handwritten with (mostly) Cyrillic letters to look “Russian” but are English words spelled phonetically.
My emerging theory of the world is that we should have never abandoned pigeons in favour of tele-communication world. In a multi-species communication world, we'd only publish once a year, but read much more deeply.
Damn right.

The sexual assault trial of 5 hockey players is over, they were found not guilty. But many of us will never be confident that justice was served. The judge mishandled the trial, dismissed the jury and the alleged victim was subjected to day after day of interrogation by 5 different legal teams.
Harvard has officially closed its office for LGBTQ life. They folded it into the office of culture and community.
There are affinity support offices for veterans and religious students but not for LGBTQ students, students of color, or women.
Absolute cowards.
