  1. How #KristiNoem turned #ICE into the #ProudBoys

    Footage shows the #RightWing group’s founder developing the “recruit giant losers” strategy

    By Amanda Marcotte, January 16, 2026

    Excerpt: "From the beginning, #GavinMcInnes understood that he could access a large, untapped resource that is America’s loser population. Before Johnny-come-latelies like Elon Musk started assembling mediocre white men who are low on intelligence and high on resentment, McInnes was reeling them in with a steady patter of assurances that he had the secret to restore them to level of social status and respect the modern era had supposedly stolen from them. On his show, he portrayed both women and people of color as imbeciles who cannot handle equality or freedom. He claimed to hold the key to restoring masculinity to his viewers, mostly through bigotry, beer and violence. In retrospect, as ICE agents in Minneapolis have taken to kidnapping, beating and even shooting people on the streets, what really stands out is how much effort McInnes put into creating elaborate justifications for right-wing violence."

  8. @Teri_Kanefield Interesting that one of the experts referred to on the article is a Canadian academic. I’m wondering how “rage-baiting” is being used in Canada? Or, maybe that’s naive; I need only look to the words coming from the leader of the federal Conservative Party, a maritime premier, and Alberta’s premier to get my answer.
