My latest print feature for @TexasObserver is online. Give it a read to learn how school districts that have been targeted by conservative PACs and Republican consulting firms have since hired a lawyer who serves as general counsel for Tarrant County GOP.

Partisans Are Politicizing Our Schools

Announcing the release of Fash Pack 2024: A collection of over 1,400 nazi unmaskings and other PDFs related to the far-right/groypers/fascists from the past several years. Over 400 more PDFs have been added since our last release.

Looking for info on neo-Nazis or groups affiliated with specific regions? Files have been labeled with names, groups, and locations for searchability.

With the silencing and censorship of researchers and whistleblowers by far-right actors, it has become especially important to archive research on far-right extremism. They may try to silence us, but the Internet never forgets.

This archive project is a collaborative effort between @SunlightAFA and @LateNightAFA Anti-Fascist Collectives.

Patriot Front members, Paul Gancarz & Ian Elliott, have been competing as a barely disguised PF BJJ team "Patria Gloria."

They recently attended the FUJI Allentown Winter Championships together. ✨Fascists get the boot.✨

"Oklahoma’s culture war-obsessed superintendent has appointed professional harasser Chaya Raichik — of the account Libs of TikTok — to the state’s Department of Education Library Media Advisory Committee.

Raichik’s activity has been linked to bomb threats against schools and hospitals, and intimidation campaigns against those featured in her content."

I've been disgusted by the lack of professional solidarity among journalists ever since Musk bought Twitter. As Musk bans journalists one-by-one, their colleagues stay on Twitter, tweeting out their work, hoping that they'll survive the next round.

New from me at Hatewatch: A Shasta County supervisor visited Mike Lindell on the county's dime and then voted to break a contract with Dominion Voting Systems. Now Kevin Crye is facing a recall effort.

Far-Right California Supervisor, MyPillow Fan Faces Recall

Shasta County, California, supervisor Kevin Crye was served recall papers by a community group on Tuesday after he and two other far-right supervisors voted to terminate the county’s contract with Dominion Voting Systems last month, and Crye subsequently traveled at Shasta County’s expense to meet MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell for his view on the conduct of future elections in Shasta County.

I wrote something about how I'm judging people who joined BlueSky, and I've since had a number of Black friends reach out and explain to me why they feel more hopeful about finding safe community on BlueSky than in the Mastodon-centric Fediverse.

So, my judgment was unwarranted. As reluctant as I am about the business model of for-profit social media companies, I also see how little has been done to make Black folx feel welcome here. I've definitely run into the nitpicky / tone-policing aspect of Mastodon, and I barely posted on here.
