UPDATE: A grand jury has returned a superseding indictment, adding seven new defendants to the Texas "antifa" case, including six charged with providing material support for terrorists, in addition to two who were already indicted. 1/2 www.justice.gov/usao-ndtx/pr...

NEW: The Trump DOJ plans to call Kyle Shideler, an analyst at the right-leaning Center for Security Policy, as an expert witness on "antifa" and cite anarchist zines as evidence when it tries two defendants involved in an attack on the Prairieland ICE facility. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Very on brand for national socialism, aka Nazism. (Also, I'm not going to validate the antisemitic premise of the comment by confirming whether or not I'm actually Jewish — it doesn't matter one way or the other.)

Please stop writing articles about “what is a groyper?” that totally gets what groypers are wrong, thanks.

ICYMI: Col. Thomas Siverts, assigned to the Pentagon, appeared on his younger brother's podcast, a cesspool of antisemitism. The podcast's co-host said Col. Siverts' boss, Pete Hegseth, deserved six bullets to the head. But the IG won't investigate. (gift link) www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

“The right to legal counsel and a fair trial are the bedrock of our justice system. Failure to fund the federal defenders puts cases at risk. So, if Congress wants to fund law and order, it should ensure adequate funding for federal defenders to uphold the Constitution." — @reed.senate.gov

NEW: Accused Terrorgram leader Matthew Robert Allison asks a judge to throw out his case because his court-appointed lawyers aren't getting paid Although the chances of dismissal are remote, this highlights a real problem — Congress' failure to fund indigent defense www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

NEW: The notorious 287(g) task force program has finally reached the Texas Department of Public Safety, raising fears of widespread racial profiling. In other words: Texas is deputizing some of its state officers to act as roving ICE agents. www.texasobserver.org/texas-dps-28...

In Greensboro, voters choose mayor and city council members today. All of the races are contested. Last month, in the primary, only 10% of registered voters turned out. No way to choose leadership.

Gabrielle Oliveira, author of Now We Are Here, tells my colleague Alexandria Jacobson that many migrant parents questioned whether the risk was worth it, only to face inhumane treatment when their children were ripped away during the first Trump administration. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

I’m at Arkansas/16th NW in Washington DC, where a group of federal agents (5-6 cars) are standing around a car with a small child. The parent doesn’t appear to be present. One officer told me “to use the hashtag #rapist when you posted the video.” They seem to be waiting for someone.

People are not talking about this enough: SCOTUS is poised to eliminate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which will eviscerate Black representation in Congress. We're literally looking at going back to an arrangement in the South that resembles the pre-1990 political map.

Coming from someone who previously edited the daily newspaper in Greensboro, NC, you can bet this is a good assignment.

You know.. when I was far-right.. not once did I ever whine about antifa "being violent", Even assuming that was the case, and it was not and is not.. These new generations of white nationalists are weak.. spineless.. whiny... moreso than I have ever seen them in the past.. even when among them.

Alison Steinberg got her start recording herself going to Starbucks drive throughs without a mask on. Now, her pinned tweet is a legally mandated retraction, stating a company she slandered is "not owned, controlled by, or involved with Bill Gates." She's now in the Pentagon press corps.

Last week, I broke the story of how a Russian street fight promotion expanded into the US with help of neo-nazis from the Active Club network & Patriot Front. Streets Fight Club (SFC) has promoted no-rules, bare-knuckle fights on Instagram & YouTube while raising funds for Russia’s war on Ukraine.

In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

This is the way you're supposed to respond to reports about Young Republicans joking about the Holocaust and slavery. Of course, you can reel off a mile-long list of things Markwayne Mullin has said and done that you disagree with, but that misses the point. www.rawstory.com/markwayne-mu...

I feel like it should be a slightly larger story that amid all the administration’s screaming about “antifa” (whatever that is for them), Trump and his cronies are more aggressively and more frequently calling journalists they don’t like terrorists.

The gunman who murdered the state lawmaker is a far-right conspiracy theorist and evangelical Christian.

NEW: The Trump administration has set the precedent that lethal force against terrorists is justified, as it mulls designating "antifa" as a "foreign terrorist organization. The designation would allow the government to prosecute for "material support." (gift link) www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Matthew Althorpe, 29, of Niagara Region, pleaded guilty to facilitating terrorist activity, instructing others to carry out terrorist activity and committing an offence for a terrorist group www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

NEW: Trump's recent declaration that he's looking into designating "antifa" as a foreign terrorist organization hasn't received enough attention. In contrast to Trump's recent EO, the designation would allow the feds to prosecute for "material support." www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

I didn't hear about this during the White House "antifa" round table when administration officials were talking about violence that journalists experience in the field. gothamist.com/news/journal...

At Jack Posobiec's request, Trump is agreeing to designate "antifa" as a foreign terrorist organization. Unlike the "domestic terrorist organization" EO issued last month, the FTO designation has real teeth, allowing the government to prosecute for material support. www.youtube.com/live/G7hQH3o...
