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 …

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 …

AntiFash Gordon @AntiFashGordon1.) 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/F15rgBveWiShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -

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 @AntiFashGordonTHREAD: 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.Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 11 likesShow this thread -
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.1 reply 1 retweet 9 likesShow this thread -
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 …
AntiFash Gordon added,
AntiFash Gordon @AntiFashGordonTHREAD: 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/EyiKEd4IPJShow this thread1 reply 3 retweets 11 likesShow this thread -
12/ This is really just off the top of my head, so I've probably missed something, but feel free to let me know.

13/ And if you want a takeaway, it's this-- legacy media is doing a horrible job covering the far-right. The New York Times gives us a softball profile of Gavin McInnes, calling him a "[p]rovocateur" following Proud Boy attacks on protesters on 10/6 and 10/12.

14/ ABC News gave us an interview with Gavin McInnes that was even more sympathetic than his followup with Alex Jones.https://abcnews.go.com/US/proud-boys-founder-denies-inciting-violence-responds-feels/story?id=59758209 …

15/ The best coverage on the far-right is coming from reporters like
@_grendan,@KELLYWEILL,@willsommer,@LukeBarnes_92,@erinacorbett,@ekingc, and@jaredlholt. Tellingly, none of them work for legacy media outlets.2 replies 2 retweets 17 likesShow this thread
16/ So if you're interested in keeping up with the far-right, follow them.
But also pay attention to the investigation and reporting from traditional antifa groups, like @_eugeneantifa, @RoseCityAntifa, @NYCAntifa, and @afainatl.
They're usually even ahead of the journalists.
