The assassination attempt on Trump at a rally this wknd is the latest example of a larger ongoing trend of violence against public officials & politicians amid growing political polarization in the US. @KatKeneally talks to @NBCNews about it. isdglobal.org/isd-in-the-new…

After an incident of mass violence, the first question we often ask is why? Our latest piece seeks to help us better understand what we should be thinking about when trying to answer this question. Unfortunately the reason is usually never simple.

Following the guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump, some strikingly familiar & dangerous violent narratives are spreading across both the fringes & the mainstream. ISD analyzes the 3 key trends in online reactions ⬇️isdglobal.org/digital_dispat…

Following the verdict of former President Trump, we conducted an analysis to better understand how this event is likely to impact the threat landscape. Here is what we found. isdglobal.org/digital_dispat…

ISD's latest policy paper examines recent shifts in the extremism threat landscape facing the UK, including the impacts of crises like the Israel-Gaza conflict, and considers their implications for a comprehensive rights-based policy strategy 👇 isdglobal.org/isd-publicatio…

Flying home and the woman next to me has the audacity to ask if I’m okay with her putting her dog on her lap. Of course I want your dog out! Bring him out now. I’ll help you hide. Now I have 3 hrs to wonder whether I have resting “hate dogs face.”

Since 2020, election denialism has become a staple narrative when it comes to elections in AZ, fueling one-third of all US cases tied to federal election threats nationwide. ISD's Director of Threat Analysis @KatKeneally speaks to @thehill about it. isdglobal.org/isd-in-the-new…

ISD's @KatKeneally discussed w/ @USATODAY the shooting in Maine last yr, highlighting the concerning pattern where even after family members, colleagues or friends alert law enforcement about mental health issues, individuals still have access to firearms. isdglobal.org/isd-in-the-new…

While Justin Mohn, accused of murdering his father, an ex federal employee, may have suffered mental health issues, the incident “illustrates the threat of anti-govt extremism and conspiracies," said @KatKeneally to WIRED. isdglobal.org/isd-in-the-new…

Some have been quick to call last week’s tragic incident a “false flag” or just another case of mental illness. Check out my latest to learn more about what we can learn from this horrific event and why these claims are harmful.

ISD's @KatKeneally talks to @thehill about the rise in 'swatting' incidents targeting US political figures amid an election year. The surge underscores growing threats to public officials. However, the connection remains "unclear," she says. isdglobal.org/isd-in-the-new…

No such thing as a bad ski day (though due to a historically bad snow year thanks to the climate crisis, that may no longer be true)

The latest round of violent rhetoric in response to the Colorado decision isn’t new, but that doesn’t mean it is any less dangerous. Another reminder that the words used by high profile figures have very real implications. npr.org/2023/12/22/122…

Nothing like an inversion day.
