3/ I've noted this on several occasions, but for example, see this thread.https://twitter.com/i/moments/1038998774981578752 …

4/ The second is the role of major outlets, like YouTube, in providing the far-right a platform for fascist organizing. @KELLYWEILL did a fantastic job with that, just today.https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-youtube-pulled-these-men-down-a-vortex-of-far-right-hate …

5/ The third is the rise of the militant alt-light, e.g. Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys, and their connections with the mainstream GOP. @_grendan covered that brilliantly for @thebafflermag.https://thebaffler.com/latest/boys-to-men-oconnor …

6/ The fourth is the degree to which misogyny plays an intrinsic role in far-right recruitment and organizing. @chick_in_kiev pointed this out the other day, but it's a subject that deserves a fuller treatment.https://twitter.com/chick_in_kiev/status/1074020564774412288 …

one side effect of alt-right beat journalists being so heavily male is that the degree and intensity to which opposition to feminism and feminists are absolutely core to the far-right message is often underplayed

7/ I've mentioned this a couple of times, too. The first was when I doxxed a masked Boston Free Speech goon who carries a gun as being Trevor Carey, an anti-feminist vlogger.https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1043135860869410816 …

1.) Okay, the jabroni in these photos - note the identical ear and eyebrow shape in both - is an @Boston_FS member called "Chest." His real name is Trevor Carey, and he lives in the Stoughton, MA area, formerly Shrewsbury. And he's bad news. But there's SO. MUCH. MORE. <thread> pic.twitter.com/F15rgBveWi

8/ The second was when I discussed the Proud Boys as being a hate group that doesn't explicitly ID as white nationalist.https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1056214872210448384 …

AntiFash Gordon added,

THREAD: There's been some confusion about the Proud Boys having POC members. People keep asking, "How can they be white nationalists?" Technically, they're not. They're "reactionary nationalists." But they don't mind organizing with white nationalists. Here's what that means.

9/ Even though their misogyny, transphobia, and Islamophobia qualifies groups like the Proud Boys for hate group status-- even according to the @splcenter-- major media outlets still gave them softball coverage.

10/ The fifth and final one is the degree to which the far-right is getting more open about their violence. It's most visible in the Pacific Northwest, but members of the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer are routinely threatening violence via Facebook livestreams.

11/ And neo-Nazi group like The Base are openly training to enact bombings and mass shootings, hoping to overthrow the US government and create a white separatist ethnostate.https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1070004985142890498 …

THREAD: What is The Base? It's a "balk-right" network of white separatist paramilitaries hoping to balkanize the United States and divide it up into a series of white ethnostates. Anti-fascists have infiltrated the group and are exposing their members. #DeBasedDoxx pic.twitter.com/EyiKEd4IPJ

12/ This is really just off the top of my head, so I've probably missed something, but feel free to let me know. (Also, if you covered these issues and I missed your coverage or just failed to link to you, please accept my apologies in advance!)
