I'm still wondering if many of these people in various U.S. police, #ICE or whatever are #ProudBoys, etc.

Does anyone know ?

also, I'll have to dig and look for it, but I thought I heard at one of these rallies, there were those with Runes and a skull on their uniforms. Anyone want to talk about that?

@MusiqueNow There's a freely downloadable database of identified fascist militia members, mostly based on one solid journalist's months monitoring StormFront and other fascist chat spaces, but I can't seem to find the link right now. On The Media covered it, if that helps any.

In general, yes, it's well-documented that there's a lot of infiltration of US police and ICE by radical right wing terrorist groups. LA in particular, but wherever there are cops, y'know...

Thank you, but if you know of another source than the ADL, you are welcomed to let me know about that one as well.

@MusiqueNow Yup, I get that they're problematic. The GWU study provided that link to their work. I shared the download link of the original data a while back, and it'll be bugging me until I can find it again...

@PaulAnomaly

Frankly, the ADL are okay with nazi salutes from Elon, they spy on progressive activists, spy on Palestinians and spread ugly propaganda about them, etc. whilst not giving a single fuck about Jews!

@MusiqueNow Like I said, I'm not here to dispute any of that, although "They don't give a fuck about Jews" seems like a kinda broad statement to make about a group consisting of mostly Jews, supported by mostly Jews, focused mostly on anti-Semitism (as they define it).

The fact remains that, while a lot of their recent choices have been troubling, historically, they've been much better sources of information about White Supremacist groups than anyone else I can think of. I don't see any reason to think their positions on, say, Musk and Gaza make them less trustworthy about right wing militias, but if you find better sources, I'm all ears.
