      *Naming* that group rather than sticking to generic "white supremacists" is terrible turning point. It's direct-to-Google instructions to them. Yes, it matters. Ideologies don't coalesce by themselves, but in social interactions, groups, and through these amplification processes.

      And please, journalists, you do not need to "profile" any these people. There are plenty of ways to do proper reporting on this topic without puff pieces masquerading as profiles. We've had enough of that, thank you.

          Attention is the oxygen such organizations crave to grow their flames, and how they recruit. We need to learn to *pay attention* to extremists without doing recruiting work for them. I'm not saying ignore them, *not at all.* But let's not do their work.https://twitter.com/_cingraham/status/1311319405536718849 …

          Yep. Ridiculous spike in searches for the group last night, blasting past any other issue discussed I think. Appears to be the most attention they've ever had by several orders of magnitude. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1311305990961278977 … pic.twitter.com/9QZQahRiEO

          The first problem was Trump mentioning that group, which is not a "white supremacist" group. Sure, there may be some of those in it, but Proud Boys is not focused on race, and that is not its purpose. It is a pretty far right group, butt that's different.

          I suspect Trump dropped the name because they were recently mentioned. Throwing around terms like "racist" or in this case "white supremacist" when they don't apply just complicates matters - but it is a habit today of those on the left, which includes most journalists.
