How to cover online manipulation of students — without exacerbating the problem
Online extremism and radicalization are affecting students, educators, and families. We need prevention-focused media coverage that doesn’t sensationalize outlier scenarios.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

As Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

WIRED tested the popular AI video generator from OpenAI and found that it amplifies sexist stereotypes and ableist tropes, perpetuating the same biases already present in AI image tools.

I’ve seen this NYT article being shared with various snippets being singled out as being a good synopsis of Christians’ perceived persecution. But I think this quote is more significant: (1/n) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

A lot has already been said about this by very smart people. Let me just add that whatever you might say it is (“my heart goes out to you” according to Musk, or the Nazi salute), it’s a signal. Public gestures make public statements.

This article overlooks that much of tradwife content, esp on TikTok, is targeted towards the male gaze. And young men are adopting more conservative & traditionalist views compared to young women. We’re seeing a crisis of misogyny, not just a crisis of masculinity. www.salon.com/2024/12/19/t...

"Tradwives" were the hot online topic in 2024 — but offline, women are more independent than ever
Social media celebrating women's submission is propaganda, not a reflection of reality

New Gender Update out in @ejpgjournal.bsky.social. With data from the new wave of the EES, I show a strong increase in support for the far right among young voters. Especially the share of young men who consider voting for the far right has exploded. bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

ICCT just published 3 papers on gender and violent extremism today. Research on gender and radicalisation (2014–2024) has grown, focusing mainly on women in Islamist extremism, leaving gaps in literature and practice. The report highlights trends and underexplored areas. www.icct.nl/publication/...

This report stems from the recognised need to explore the role of gender in radicalisation processes more deeply. The gaps identified in literature are supported by research and interviews with profes...
