      I'm about halfway through this @NYTmag story, and hoo boy do I have thoughts.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/03/magazine/FBI-charlottesville-white-nationalism-far-right.html …

      The vast majority of the article is classic New York Times-ish policy wonk stuff--an inside look in federal law enforcement agencies and the political pressures they face to underplay or ignore white supremacy. This is, incidentally, why I do not take "both sides!" seriously.pic.twitter.com/BOmsyrN2Sj

      But what jumped out at me are the threads that were briefly mentioned but not explored. Like, small-town cops in Wisconsin defending a suspect's white supremacist literature. And Portland cops *allying* with the Proud Boys against Antifa.pic.twitter.com/fWbeGQiRcY

      And it struck me that maybe -- just *maybe* -- the article might have been enriched by also grappling with stories like this. https://www.propublica.org/article/elkhart-indiana-police-officers-charged-after-video-shows-beating-handcuffed-man …

      I'm shocked -- shocked! -- that law enforcement institutions that routinely inflict violence on vulnerable people -- particularly people of color -- could see far-right extremists not as threats, but potential allies.

      It's not like there's a history of this that literally dates to the establishment of modern police forces or anything. http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674062115 …

      This is a thread that is found throughout that @NYTmag article. But there's no way to make sense of this affinity without talking about the intense institutional racism embedded in America's police departments and their tolerance for violence, which the article does not.pic.twitter.com/DH1W9oGJX8

      I mean, the cops are literally saying this themselves! The article just feels like a missed opportunity to make this case explicitly. Law enforcement does not take far-right extremism seriously because they basically agree with the far right's politics.pic.twitter.com/PRwuIjxdX6

          What can be done? A positive first step would be for journalists and policymakers to stop framing acts like this as "inexplicable." "Inexplicable" is a useless analytic, especially when there's a very compelling and deeply evidence-based explanation.pic.twitter.com/Km79aaiwB8

          I can't tell if NYT missed this because they think (at some institutional level, and despite strong evidence to the contrary) that all institutions essentially "play fair," or if there's something else going on here.

          I think that people who regularly work with law enforcement -- and I'm including reporters in that group -- are far less likely to make such a direct institutional critique.

          I mean thank fck this exact same thing didn't happen in Weimar Germany, amirite? Ooooh it would be so scary if this exact same thing had happened in Weimar Germany, but whew we definitely dodged that bullet.

          One domestic terrorism expert who conducts hate-crimes training for journalists, was baffled by the pushback she received from NYT who didn’t seem to view white-supremacist groups as a democracy-sabotage problem. They'd continue interviewing trumpers & say:pic.twitter.com/3SPMq0uW4M
