Extremism “is fundamentally a local problem, magnified nationwide," says Dana Coester, founder of nonprofit newsroom 100 Days in Appalachia. “There’s more risk at the local level. You are accessible, you are visible, you are part of the community that you’re covering, and you don’t leave.” Columbia Journalism Review interviewed her and journalists from @TexasObserver, InvestigateWest, and more, about the threats local journalists face from far-right extremists.
Four morons — including two active members of the Canadian Armed Forces — have been charged with a truly pathetic attempt to seize land near Quebec City, in what police describe as antigovernment extremism. If you could put a price on stupidity, these idiots would be wealthy indeed. #idiots #CAF #quebec #rightwing #extremism

"The American Academy of Pediatrics and other physician groups on Monday sued HHS Secretary #RFKjr for unilaterally changing federal COVID vaccine recommendations":
https://www.axios.com/2025/07/07/doctors-lawsuit-rfk-covid-vaccine-recommendation
RFK Jr. and his underlings "strip Americans of their choice to vaccinate with actions that thoroughly disregard overwhelming scientific evidence and decades of established federal processes." This lawsuit is a reaction to that mismanagement.
