Sarah Rogers is advancing a Trump-backed plan to fund MAGA-aligned groups in Europe while amplifying Christian nationalist and anti-LGBTQ+ narratives. Her ties include Turning Point, ADF, and Germany’s AfD, mirroring Project 2025 and raising alarms that U.S. diplomacy is boosting Europe’s far right.

White supremacists use a familiar narrative pattern, then seek a trigger to inspire action. It’s in their literature, and unfolds in reality after every tragedy. Right now, the trigger is being pulled, and it’s transparent.

The Social Sentinel app looks at cross platform engagement, to see which platforms are amplifying conspiracy and extremism the most.

Active Clubs claim to be decentralized, yet there are specific by laws and protocols active clubs need to follow. These by laws have to be enforced and monitored. That’s structure and hierarchy.

SFC insinuating fighters get paid here. I’ve spoken directly to fighters who were told they would get a PPV cut, and never got paid.

Great article on Far-Right fighting culture. "Far right groups increasingly frame violence itself as a social identity, celebrating the capacity for violence rather than the development of skill... This article traces hooligan culture, to forest fights, to American neo-Nazi groups."

Solid overview of the current white nationalist mvmt to use organized street fighting as a tool of violence, branding & growth. It traces the thru line from European soccer hooliganism, to organized forest fights, to street fights, all of which have been migrated to the US thru active clubs.

Shark Boxing claims that they do not sponsor SFC events. This is plausible, but interesting given the cross promotion.

🚨 The neo-Nazis came back to Old North Sac and left this on the corner by @amaranthalleypantry. It's a totenkopf, a skull used by the Nazi SS in WWII. They used it to cover a poster that reads "Migrants Welcome." The hate symbol has been removed.

Tanner Riley Couch (18, Roseville) is a leading member of Kali Youth the unofficial California Chapter of United Youth, a feeder group for minors too young to join Patriot Front. Kali Youth is likely responsible for this vandalism. Tanner was initially doxxed by rival nazi group InJekt Division.

The Active Club assessment is an object way to evaluate the long term public communication of a club. Active Club France is one of the oldest Active Clubs in Europe. Their behavior has been largely stable over several years. Spikes in scoring have been due to increased network messaging.

Internal infrastructure creates stability by relying on process over personality. In this article I break down how the Active Club assessment scores infrastructure.

Robert Rundo, founder of Active Clubs, being transparent about his intentions. BJJ is a tool used to normalize violence and coupled with extremist ideology, pushes people toward violent social action.

The active club assessment scores how language is used and normalized in public communication. This further explains how I arrive at each score.

When I write about Active Clubs, they come out of the woodwork and play the victim. “Just let them train”, “why are you attacking guys for training martial arts”. Meanwhile, they advocate for beating people in the streets to intimidate them away from speaking up. We will proceed without fear.

The Active Club assessment measures internal infrastructure. It’s a reflection organizational maturity. Key elements of infrastructure are listed here.

Threads is where most of my energy goes, but I post on insta, X, Bluesky, and Substack. Substack is the only place I get bombarded by Na*i’s. It’s an underrated cesspool of extremism.

Here is Robert Rundo, founder of Active Clubs, boasting about combat sports turning into a bastion of white supremacy. Will you lie down and take this? Or will you stand up and speak out?

In the last month, Shields has gained 30,000 followers on Instagram alone.

A more thorough explanation on how I evaluate ideology in the Active Club assessment

A must listen episode for the BJJ community.

You can hear more about these surveillance programs, of which DHS claims don’t exist, on our pod this week. Ken joined us to break it down for us www.patreon.com/posts/149538...

Perhaps no better day to listen to the episode we just put out with @justinbaragona.bsky.social talking about Bari Weiss' time at the network so far and what a train wreck it has been podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

In today’s media landscape, we’re often not just disagreeing — we’re living in different information worlds. Here, I unpack what research actually says about echo chambers, outrage, and how platform design fuels polarization. The good news: this isn’t inevitable.

The myth of martial arts, where people develop the strength and confidence to stand up to bullies, build community and learn about mutual welfare and benefit. Meanwhile, I can’t find a gym in Minneapolis that is speaking out about the Trump regime murdering innocent people in the street.

Establishing a tier system recognizes the different ways Active Clubs behave, and what roles they play in the network. Over time, it tracks escalation on their involvement in expanding the network and promoting its ideology

A framework for assessing active clubs. This uses online communication to assess 5 categories, and create an escalation score. The intention is to evaluate the ideological infrastructure of the Active Club network, track changes over time at the club level.

6 weeks worth of social media follows era data. Right wing accounts in the mma and BJJ space have significantly more growth. Jake Shields had 12 incidences of extremist content in a single day

When we say "explicitly neo-Nazi" we mean channels that fly swastikas and praise Hitler. That's the zone of internet where DHS is apparently finding inspiration for their X posts. It's ultra unlikely they would have ever encountered that song if they weren't in that space, imo.

What happens when you get the attention of Active Clubs?

I’m slowly piecing together a model for evaluating active clubs.

Pennsylvania homies, contact Sacrifice BJJ and let them know the community will not tolerate their gym training Nazis to conduct violence.

Want to begin training martial arts to start off the new year right? Check out this thread to learn how and use this updated link to my zine "Training Martial Arts for Anti-Fascism". archive.org/details/trai...

We sent Spotify, Youtube, and Apple Podcasts a detailed set of questions & examples of antisemitic and bigoted content Shields produced. Only Youtube responded, with their spox writing “Upon review, the videos shared do not violate our Community Guidelines.” www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Jake Shields has a unique position among people in the BJJ/MMA community. His fire hose of hatred has given him an audience far beyond our sport, appearing on shows like Piers Morgan, and a CNN special.

An active club is using a small town gym as a training ground. Do they know? Are there signs? Some questions remain unanswered, but what’s certain is that multiple businesses are associated with a space that’s home to active club members.

Great work

Jason Lee Van Dyke apparently scrubbed a lot of his social media to run for elected office, so here's a thread of him explaining how much he hates democracy and why he identifies as a fascist. 🧵 "Here's my take on this: fuck democracy. For years now I have identified as a fascist..."
