Unite the Right remains the gift that keeps on giving. The latest revelation is Craig Rutherford Meyer, an engineer from Muncie, Indiana, who more recently has been living in the Seattle, Washington, area. Read on...

A good take from Hannah Gais on Nick Fuentes' recent appearance on Tucker Carlson's podcast, the back-and-forth about it on the right, and what it all might say about where they're collectively heading.
She writes:
There’s plenty of hypocrisy to point out here. For one, Heritage is the author of Project Esther, a guidebook for cracking down left-wing anti-Zionist student protesters on college and university campuses. One of its top priorities is to “expose the critical resources fueling antisemitism” through what it dubs the “Hamas Support Network.”
But that’s not what I want to focus on here. Instead, I want to explore the question that has been nagging me since I first learned of Fuentes’ appearance on Tucker Carlson: How did we get here? And, in the long term, what does it mean?

If you had asked me in 2016 whether I thought I’d write a blog about the Heritage Foundation defending a former Fox News host after he hosted a friendly conversation with one of the country’s leading white nationalists, I’d probably ask if you were drunk. But it’
Now that Sunday's Triumph of the Shills rally is done and the guy from The Man Show is going to be back on the air, I'd like to take this moment to single out Austin Peay State University (APSU) in Clarksville, TN, for special shaming.
APSU unceremoniously fired theater professor Darren Michael on Sept. 12, about 48 hours after Michael posted a link on Facebook to a story from Newsweek about Charlie Kirk's "it's worth some gun deaths every year" comments. Far-right senator and current gubernatorial candidate Marsha Blackburn had publicly pressured the university. (See first link below)
The thing is, last year it took APSU a week and a half of student protests and "investigation" to finally come to a mutual agreement about "parting ways" with a faculty member who had been outed as a prominent neo-nazi who had promoted and attended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesvile, VA, in 2017.
They gave that dude a $56k severance package. (See second link below)
Yup, it took them ten days to come to an amicable resolution with the guy who, in his own words, posted "everything from race realism, the ['Jewish Question'], the truth about Nazis, everything" and who actively promoted what became a deadly rampage, but the dude who shared an article about what Kirk actually said was just done. (See third link below)
I'm sure more or less anyone who follows my account already knows this, but in case you need to illustrate to someone you know just how skewed the response to anything connected with "political violence" is in the US, there you have it: participate in actual racist violence, you get the kid gloves and might be asked to resign if the protests are loud enough; point out indifference to human suffering on the right, you're canned.
At any rate, yeah, this country, hoo boy...

The good folks at Late Nite Anti-Fascists have done us all the service of archiving the Discord chat logs used by organizers and participants in Unite the Right in Charlottesville in 2017. Unicorn Riot had published them, but they were still hosted on Discord servers and have been removed by their hosts. This isn't exactly up-to-date info anymore, but it remains a valuable resource, so have at it.

According to #TommyRobinson (allegedly) last week 200,000 #Muslim gay men sailed on rafts from #France and stole all the straight women in #England. Now there are no women left as they all ran off to start their gay relationships with these men. Gay Muslims literally are stealing all the women to create babies.
This is about as sensible as any argument currently coming from The Daily Express, Telegraph, Spectator or Mail.

In light of the recent anniversary of Unite the Right, I'd just like to point out that there is still an ongoing effort to identify all of the participants on the pro-nazi side. If you'd like to see if one of them lives near you, or if you can take a moment to look through pics and maybe identify someone you know, the site is here: https://ignitetheright.net/
8 years ago today: A coalition of neo-nazi groups held the so-called "#UniteTheRight" rally in Charlottesville, VA - after planning online for months to carry out racially motivated violence.
The event ended early after being outnumbered by militant antifascists.
Police stood down most of the day as fascist groups openly carried out attacks while using slurs. After the rally was shut down, one neo-nazi ran into protesters with his car, killing Heather Heyer: https://unicornriot.ninja/2017/violent-white-supremacist-rally-charlottesville-ends-murder/

When hundreds of far-right extremists marched in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, chanting “Jews will not replace us,” they saw the removal of Confederate statues as a material challenge to white power. Affirming a renewed Trumpian era of unconstrained white supremacist organizing, the deadly Unite the Right rally had been called under the banner of protecting the city’s statue of Robert E. Lee, which had been ordered for removal.
Trump infamously used the statue protest to launder white supremacist violence. “Many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee,” the president said. “The press has treated them absolutely unfairly,” he said of the neo-Nazi rally attendees.

State by State Pending and recently passed #AntiProtestLaws: #Missouri
HB 355: New penalties for protests near gas and oil #pipelines
Creates new potential penalties for protests near gas and oil pipelines and other "critical infrastructure." The law--which was substituted by a Missouri Senate committee for a House bill on sentencing guidelines--heightens the penalties for trespass occurring on critical infrastructure property. Trespass with intent "to damage, destroy, vandalize, deface, [or] tamper with" a facility or intent to "impede or inhibit the operations" of a facility is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by one year in jail and a $2,000 fine. Protesters seeking to peacefully demonstrate against construction of a new pipeline, for instance, with the intent to disrupt that construction, could be prosecuted under the law. The law also newly criminalizes "damage" to critical infrastructure, broadly defined to include vandalism, and makes it a Class C felony, punishable by 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The law also newly and broadly defines "critical infrastructure" to include oil and gas pipelines, refineries, cell phone towers, and railroad tracks whether operational or under construction.

HB 1413: Limiting #PublicEmployees' ability to picket
***Note: A Judge of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County found HB 1413 unconstitutional in its entirety and granted a permanent injunction against the enforcement of the law on January 27, 2020. ***
Bars certain public employees from picketing. The law requires that all labor agreements negotiated between a "public body" and a labor organization "shall expressly prohibit all strikes and picketing of any kind." The law further mandates that such agreements provide for the "immediate termination" of "any public employee who...pickets over any personnel matter." "Public body" is broadly defined in the law to include "the state of Missouri, or any officer, agency, department, bureau, division, board or commission of the state, or any other political subdivision or special district of or within the state"; accordingly, the law may apply to many labor agreements. While "picketing" is not defined under the law, Missouri Code elsewhere refers to "picketing or other organized protests" as "constitutionally protected activity," indicating that picketing as used in HB 1413 includes protests and demonstrations unrelated to labor strikes.

HB 601: Heightened penalties for #masked #protesters
Would increase the penalty for any offense if committed by someone wearing a mask or other device that concealed their identity. The bill does not require that someone intended to conceal their identity in order to facilitate a crime. The bill also does not provide exemptions for masks worn for medical or any other purpose, nor does it limit the enhanced penalties to violent crimes. As such, a peaceful protester who committed a nonviolent offense while wearing a mask—whether a medical mask to avoid contagion, a mask to avoid retaliation for their political speech, or a mask worn for any other reason—could face steep penalties. For instance, peaceful demonstrators in Missouri may be charged with “disturbing the peace,” a minor misdemeanor, if they make too much noise or obstruct a sidewalk or road in the course of a protest. Under the bill, a masked protester charged with that offense could face up to one year in jail and $2,000 for the first offense and a felony penalties (up to four years in prison and $10,000) for subsequent offenses.
