Pakistan’s youth stand at a crossroads, between renewal and radicalization. Education, equity, and engagement can turn this demographic bulge into a national strength, not a threat.

The KKK wasn’t defeated by argument — it was stopped by a mix of law enforcement, exposure, and social rejection.

Federal action crushed its violence. Journalists and culture stripped its mystique. Communities withdrew acceptance.

newspapers and jail academics. In Russia, counterextremism laws have become blunt instruments for crushing democracy. We must be honest: America is inching down that path

ISIS, TTP, or Taliban, Bangladesh’s silent export of militants continues to haunt regional security. Denial isn’t strategy; cooperation is.

TLDR (2/3):

These modern atrocities are not isolated incidents but are part of a continuum where perpetrators seek notoriety and inspire others through digital platforms.

Serious scholars need to abandon the 'counterextremism expert' label. Stop wearing it like a badge of honor; the term is irreparably tainted. The field is fast losing credibility.

Find something clean. Trust me on this.

“The tip from the Anti-Defamation League did not include Desmond Holly’s identity or location because the group had not been able to establish either one – but the FBI began investigating in July.

The tip went to the FBI’s New York field office.”
Group monitoring extremism told FBI in July of posts, activities now tied to Evergreen school shooter The information sent to authorities did not include the identity or location of the person responsible. Author: Kevin Vaughan No one from the FBI would comment further. Oren Segal, senior vice president of counterextremism and intelligence at the ADL, also acknowledged the tip in a separate statement. "The ADL Center on Extremism regularly shares alerts and updates with law enforcement," the statement said. "We shared profiles and activity at the time with law enforcement for actions they deemed necessary based on what was available at the time. We have since learned those profiles belonged to the individual responsible for the shooting in Evergreen. "We do not share alerts to law enforcement outside of law enforcement, and there is a current investigation," the statement said. Information made public by the ADL showed that his TikTok accounts included multiple references to white supremacist symbolism. Among them was a phrase in his profile name that referenced a slogan popular among white supremacists - and a photograph of himself wearing a skull mask that includes the name of the first of two New Zealand mosques attacked by a mass shooter in March 2019.

maybe reflect before providing expertise on Groypers or at least before the next incident. I have long been critical of the exceptionalism and construction of equivalence in counterextremism and counterterrorism expertise, research and practice. One of the reasons is such opportunism. 2/

🧵 Why Merging Safeguarding & Counter-Extremism Data Is a Dangerous Move

If we really want to be worried about Reform UK in local governments? 👀

Please come down this data-governance rabbithole with me.
We have some concerns. 🕳️🐇

github.com/josefsbreakf...
A section titled “UK Governance Note” explains how clustering safeguarding and counterextremism data/governance increases risk. Bullet points note that safeguarding systems hold sensitive survivor disclosures, counterextremism frameworks carry political intelligence, and combining them raises the payoff for bad actors. It adds that from a forensic psychology perspective, perpetrators weigh risk versus reward, so concentrating both types of data makes breaches more attractive. Below is a table titled “Forensic Risk Matrix” with three rows: Safeguarding Only → Survivor disclosures (DV, CSA, etc.) → High risk, sensitive but siloed. Counterextremism Only → Security intel, political networks → High risk, adversary-targeted, state priority. Safeguarding + Counterextremism → Both survivor data and security intel → Critical risk, dual payoff attracts powerful perpetrators.
