1. NEW: White nationalist Augustus Sol Invictus, a lawyer who has described himself at different times as an emperor, a prophet and a god, was arrested Monday in Florida on suspicion of kidnapping, domestic violence and weapons violations.pic.twitter.com/wLKrhCCkHl
2. Court records show Invictus was picked up on a warrant out of South Carolina and is being held without bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for January 15. I’m working to get more information about the details of his case.
3. I’ll be tracking the Invictus case as part of my new publication, The Informant, which is launching January 6 and will be dedicated to covering hate and extremism in America. Sign up to stay informed. It’s free.http://informant.news
4. For now, here are a few things you should know about Invictus. 
5. Invictus, who legally changed his name from Austin Gillespie, announced in August he is running for president. His campaign propaganda is full of fascist imagery. His platform, unsurprisingly, is deeply misogynistic and racist.pic.twitter.com/iI6SuPJzrA
6. The platform states, for example, that only white males should be allowed to vote and own property. It also proposes creating a “newly established territory” for “all living descendants of [U.S.] slavery” The territory would no longer be part of the United States.pic.twitter.com/nTwo2vvpp3
7. Invictus is also a Holocaust denier, telling the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2017 that he was “still waiting to see those facts” when it came to the deaths of 6 million Jews.https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/augustus-sol-invictus …
8. Prior to his presidential run, he was perhaps best known for filming himself slaughtering a goat and drinking its blood in a pagan ritual. The incident came to light in 2015 while he was running unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate.https://www.tampabay.com/ritual-sacrifice-eugenics-and-the-resignation-of-a-party-chairman/2247999/ …
9. At one time, Invictus was a board member at the Foundation for the Marketplace of Ideas along with major figures in the white nationalist movement, including Richard Spencer and James Edwards. https://pdf.guidestar.org/PDF_Images/2017/811/969/2017-811969574-0e92bc1f-Z.pdf …pic.twitter.com/0iPUeNxqHO
10. He was also a scheduled speaker in 2017 at the deadly “Unite The Right” white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.pic.twitter.com/Bk0V3LM3tN
11. More recently, Invictus has formed a new organization called the American Legal Defense Fund, which is dedicated to helping white supremacists defend themselves in legal matters.https://angrywhitemen.org/2019/02/15/augustus-invictus-founds-legal-group-to-defend-white-supremacists/ …
12. I'll post more updates as I get them. On Monday, I’m launching a new publication called The Informant, which will cover hate and extremism in America. I’ll be tracking the Invictus case there, too. Please sign up.http://informant.news
