1/ Curious about the neo-Nazis in DC yesterday?
This thread, from @IGD_News, is a fantastic roundup of Patriot Front-- its history, its leaders, how it organizes, and a good assessment of the threat it presents.https://twitter.com/IGD_News/status/1226390884146651137 …

11/ I'm doing this thread because I've seen some journalists (and I'm not naming names) fear-mongering over what, exactly, Patriot Front's DC march means, and handing an easy propaganda win to the far-right.

12/ Yes, Patriot Front is a threat to our communities, just as any white nationalist organization is. Yes, they should be countered, and bless the activists who came out yesterday to oppose and surveil Patriot Front as they marched, protected by rows of DC cops.

13/ But let's not spread any unnecessary fear in our communities. Patriot Front spent a ton of money on plane tickets and van rentals to sleep outside at the coldest time of the year in the Pocahontas National Park. All to cower behind the police for a few hours in DC.

14/ Far-right organizing should be opposed. But don't spread fear. There's a fine line between warning a community and scaring them. Be sure your info is accurate and contextual before you tweet it. Solidarity to everyone opposing fascists on both coasts yesterday.
