The MilitiaWatch Monthly update for May 2023 is out and available here:
https://militia.watch/updates/202305/
It covers some of the major events of the last month within the #militia/unlawful #paramilitary space that MW keeps an eye on.
Some of these events, including battles against paramilitary training sites, VOP activity on the border, and Bundy's fun #BBQStandoff are ongoing and will continue to drive the news cycle in June, too.
The MilitiaWatch Monthly update for April 2023 is out and available here:
https://militia.watch/updates/202304/
It covers some of the major events of the last month within the #militia/unlawful #paramilitary space that MW keeps an eye on. Some of these events, like Bundy's fun "BBQ Standoff" are ongoing and will potentially drive the news cycle this next month, too.
Also noting that these monthlies don't cover ALL of the RW movement. While Proud Boys and Nazis have occasionally been covered among these updates, our primary focus is the so-called 'Patriot Movement' and all it's paramilitary or insurrectionist splinters/offshoots.
There are many other roundups that cover those groups we aren't as expert in. Happy to direct folks!
