3/ Crucially, Newsweek is missing that this exact version of the song is the one DHS posted to Instagram, with credit to Pine Tree Roots. The song itself only appears while using an IG mobile app, so it's easy to miss. Intercept has since reported this. theintercept.com/2026/01/13/d...

2/ @newsweek.com references the "version" by Pine Tree Riots. Earlier reporting tends to attribute the original version of song to the Mannerbund (www.antihate.ca/ppc_riding_d...). What Newsweek is missing is that the Pine Tree Riots version is, as far as we know, *the original.* Audio is identical.

1/ This article may either miscommunicates or misidentifies the origins of the song By G-d We'll Have Our Home Again.
It is true that it's a rip-off of Old Maui. It is unlikely that it has merely "become associated" with white nationalism. The song was likely released by a neo-Nazi group.

"Bari Weiss says she wants to use her new perch" to "sideline voices" like Nick Fuentes.
Two days ago The Free Press, which Weiss founded, published a puff piece on Fuentes ally Dasha Nekrasova in which she defends Fuentes and her relationship with him.
Sincerely, better luck next time though.

On a seemingly unrelated (but definitely related) note: They also introduce New York City Mayor Eric Adams (a well-known public figure by now, I would think?) as "current New York Mayor Eric Adams (who happens to be Black) [sic]."

In defence of the Antifa terrorism designation, the National Post published an article arguing that Hamas faced similar issues to designate because - like Antifa - Hamas is said to be "an ideology as much as a political group."

Spotify's search may be doing its thing on you. Maybe try a different device. On my end they are available on Spotify under the same artist name and album name as they are in the Apple Music screenshot above.

An easy story for reporters in tech and extremism right now might be to ask major music streaming platforms why they quietly let Skrewdriver back on some time this year

"anti-2SLGBTQIA+ bigots are good so long as they acknowledge and oppose the genocide in Gaza" is another Yves Engler take I see in my replies so this all checks out too

Another time I posted about a Synagogue mass shooting and Yves said I an "anti-Palestinian bigot" who ran cover for a "jewish supremacist govt" because I was working for a Canadian federal government grant at the time. Of course Jackson Hinkle would be into that brand.

I haven't read all of my messages from this guy but one I did read was defending Anya Parampil (another Fuentes ally) from calling Jews "a Synagogue of Satan" b/c at least she acknowledged the genocide in Gaza. Buddy is just the dril racism dial tweet personified.

This guy used to hang out in my mentions to defend bigots like Nick Fuentes under the guise that I unfairly targeted antizionist bigots (I don't). Y'all have got to stop treating him like a serious candidate. He just wants attention, good or bad, to throw a hissy fit and make content about.

The magazine typically couches outwardly transphobic and antisemitic articles behind tamer ones and antivax stuff. It's distributed widely and tolerated in gas stations, wellness places, organic grocers, etc. Check your chiropractor's waiting room, organic grocery store, and own mailbox for it.

Druthers Magazine - which distributes roughly 200,000 print issues across Canada a month - got really, *really* antisemitic in their last print issue. Issue suggests Christians may want to take violent vengeance on the Jewish people. Also incl. 10 paragraphs praising Holocaust denier Ryan Dawson.

Instead, Californians get media controlled billionaires who propose working with Holocaust deniers and block editorials which might piss off Donald Trump. And they're supposed to accept it when these guys get the easy treatment in progressive media.

NatPo did add a sentence disputing the FN claim and put an update notice mentioning it was "edited to reflect concerns around the status of the Kawartha First Nations." I do appreciate this, as they have made similar fixes without adding this note. But it does not mention the supposed "reserve."
