Exciting news: GOD, GUNS, and SEDITION is out today in paperback! My @cfr.org and @columbiaup.bsky.social book, co-authored with @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social, tells the story of far-right terrorism in America and beyond—a topic that sadly remains as relevant as ever. bookshop.org/p/books/god-...

Hugely important insights from @joshroose.bsky.social on the "transnational phenomenon" of rising violent threats against politicians just a week ahead of the U.S. midterms.

"In an August 2021 tweet, amid the chaos of the Afghanistan withdrawal, Collins suggested American military and political leaders deserved to be hanged from a helicopter. He also joked about pushing then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi out of an airplane."

Ampak če iščete dober podkast o stvarnih in strokovnih knjiga, prijateljčki, je pa to The New Books Network. Lahko se naročite na posamezne kategorije, ker na dan vržejo ven po 8 epizod. Od litkrit do psihoanalize. Tale je o desničarskem terorizmu v ZDA. newbooksnetwork.com/god-guns-and...

Ten days until the midterms. A good day to read @kathleenklaus.bsky.social and @meganturnbull.bsky.social on electoral violence in democracies. Particularly dangerous: "salient and resonant narratives—especially around threat and victimhood—that authorize and justify violence."

"The 16-year-old who shot and killed three students and a teacher at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend last Thursday may have been radicalized online by extremist groups and developed an 'obsession with Nazism.'" @maxbernstein.bsky.social

“But science does not explain the nights Blue has reached me before there seemed to be anything to notice, before my breathing changed, before my heart rate climbed, before any signal I could recognize had formed.” ❤️ @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

"This is an unprecedented year when it comes to threats against public officials. And when I say unprecedented year, I mean, this is a record number of federal arrests involving threats to public officials." @seamushughes.bsky.social

"Juveniles or extremists who have maintained a low profile, travel to conflict zones and back, and evade monitoring by the intelligence services pose an ongoing concern." @petersmith.bsky.social @colinpclarke.bsky.social @lawfaremedia.org

Bump.

“A message has been sent to the American people: You can engage in violence against the government as long as it’s on behalf of one party because that one party will then protect you.” From my @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social conversation with Chris Millington.

“Whatever it is that drives the Trump administration’s animosity toward Ukraine, that hostility represents a grotesque moral failing. It isn’t just strategically incomprehensible; it betrays America’s values and traditions.”

Your Sunday long-read -- Court Watch looks at a newly-released academic report that’s raising alarms about the resilience of the country’s food supply and how law enforcement have been building a series of criminal cases to counter a ‘black swan’ event. www.courtwatch.news/p/the-rabbit...

"They were so afraid, the looks on their faces, it was really hard to see. I was just trying to calm them down. Some kids were praying, some kids were consoling other kids, but they were doing it quietly because they know you don't make any noise." 🇺🇸

"A teenager in suburban Chicago was arrested before carrying out what was planned to be a mass shooting at a Hindu temple [...] Investigators also found items with Nazi symbols, including swastikas, and a gas can labeled with an anti-Indian slur."

"Scandinavia's exposure to the TCC phenomenon considerably predates the label, and the Nordic contribution to the canon is arguably disproportionate to the region's size." @valdemarballe.bsky.social and Tore Hamming on TCC in the Nordics. @gnetresearch.bsky.social 🇸🇪

With Starlink's reliability in #Ukraine in the news again, I cannot recommend this brilliant October 2023 IWI article by @wesjbryant.bsky.social any more highly. "If you are going to enter the arena, enter the arena: we don't need solutions with caveats."

"A group of as many as five men were 'cheering and appearing to encourage the activity inside' a frat house bathroom, and the group tried to block two of the woman’s friends from entering... The 21yo woman was 'not fully conscious' when she was found."

"Agroterrorism constitutes a type of 'black swan' event: highly unlikely, but with sufficiently catastrophic effects to merit serious consideration and the undertaking of proactive measures." strategiccompetition.org/index.php/jo...

Seems like every week now there is a serious TCC attack somewhere in the world. Yesterday, France became the latest victim. The most global violent extremist movement — with maybe the highest operational tempo — since the Islamic State at its height. 🇫🇷

My latest, with Ella Busch for IWI's Journal of Strategic Competition, explores past cases of agroterrorism, the vulnerabilities of American agriculture, and the potential weaponization of the agricultural sector by terrorists of several stripes. strategiccompetition.org/index.php/jo...

Professor Chris Millington of @manmetuni.bsky.social was exceedingly kind to host me on the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social podcast series to discuss my co-authored @columbiaup.bsky.social book, God, Guns, and Sedition. An interesting conversation, with several lessons for the 2026 midterms.

A KKK leader on #Trump and those who might vote against him in the midterms: "They're not looking at the things that Trump did to really restore America, like just building the wall." @phillavelle.bsky.social

Two school stabbing attacks on back-to-back days in Poland, alongside the arrest of a "17-year-old with two knives who was searching online for instructions on how to organize a 'bloody event.'" 🇵🇱

Reflecting on October 7, 2023: “Even within the complex geopolitical context that dictates relationships between Israelis and Palestinians, the world should stand united against the genocidal terrorism that was visited on Israel that day.” @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social

Four weeks until the midterms: a good day to read Daniel Byman and Riley McCabe's terrific primer on US election violence. I'd have included a few more incidents (the 2018 Pittsburgh shooting and mail bombs, for instance) but it’s still a comprehensive report. @csis.org
