The good news is that nearly seven years after Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaida appears to be battered. The bad news is that like a prize fighter, it is bloodied, but not bowed — leaving it still capable of dealing a devastating blow.

Break my bones, why do you care about harmful content when its targeted towards marginalized videos. its more than hurt feelings, and i think people need to understand that. the more you leave this content up, all of these platforms know how long individuals stay on that content, how much they interact with similar types of content, and it begins to build profiles and lookalikes. what it starts to do is say, hey, heres somebody thats never thought about this issue before, maybe you dont express ...

Content, how much they interact with similar types of content, and it begins to build profiles and lookalikes. what it starts to do is say, hey, heres somebody thats never thought about this issue before, maybe you dont express any indication of anti- trans violence. but based on all of these factors, you might be very interested in this. heres some lies and misinformation about what theyre doing at the local schools, and thats the problem with this idea that if you dont use twitter, it doesnt a...

Will never break my bones, why do we care about harmful content, especially when it is targeted toward marginalized individuals or this type of population. and the more you leave this content up, what twitter knows, what all of these platforms know is how long individuals stay on that content, how long, how much they interact with similar types of cone tent, and it begins to build profiles and look-alikes and what it starts to say is hey, youre somebody who maybe never thought about this issue b...

And demagoguery that really shaped her radicalization. - its disingenuous to be horrified by the events of january 6th. they were telegraphed for weeks. politicians--donald trump himself-- had constantly been talking about this rhetoric. thats where it was going, and im an idiot comedian who traveled there, on that day, with four security guards. so if we saw how it was going, its asinine to think everybody else didnt. - i think january 6 was predicated on propaganda, and lies being circulated o...

Whatever he says will be relevant. and of course whatever trail he left. there will be two pieces to this. one will be, did he say anything, do anything with other family members, with friends, that would then lead witnesses who can testify that he animus, had targeted the bar, had targeted the community. the other, of course, is online presence. what is online? what caused him to be radicalized. you know, just within a year, hes attacking his mother. this is the case we know about. hes focused ...

Wounds and they are lucky that they are alive. so what radicalization happen? did it happen online, and who was he following, who is he communicating with? that will capture the picture. i was surprised that he was not charged today. these cases you can start with a hate crime, but i would suspect that they will likely do it in the next day or two if they have evidence that this was targeted because of the kind of bar that it was. it is hard to believe it was not, its a unique bar, not many lgbt...

Bomb. the question now is why didnt a family member come forward if they had knowledge of the purchase of these guns which were reporting he did himself? family members may have known about it, especially if his radicalization, his hate toward the lgbtq community was known to them and they knew he had guns. look, this is another instance where red flag laws are often not self-executing. police need specific charges, family members coming forward. they cannot solve the problem of our common respo...

Target against the lgbtq community. we can say there might be other motives, but this is my, you know, we would have to sort of put on blinders not to think that this particular bar was targeted because of the community. and what now is part of the investigation is in that gap between what was maybe personal issues with his mother and a more public attack against the lgbtq community. what was happening in terms of his mental state, in terms of radicalization. thats what i would be focused on at ...

>> people with different ideologies and grievances as justification for violence. >> reporter: and with the readily available means of attacking. >> these actors often move quickly from radicalization to action and often use easily obtainable weapons, think a gun, a knife, a car, a cruise i.e.d. against soft targets. >> reporter: these extremists arent always organized, often lone wolves who are difficult to catch before they commit violence. >> the lone actors in these small cells, the real pro...
