Humbled and thrilled that The Guardian has named A12 one of its favorite podcasts of 2018. Deep gratitude to the activists, scholars, and leaders whose stories made it possible.https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/dec/21/our-15-favourite-podcasts-of-2018 …

Given that a purported manifesto is circulating, I strongly recommend this smart piece by

You can hear their stories on A12, especially episodes 4 and 6: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a12/id1428832260 … I also wrote about Charlottesville, Pittsburgh, and rising antisemitic terrorism here: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/30/opinions/pittsburgh-shooting-antisemitism-charlottesville-hemmer/index.html … 2/2

Reading about another synagogue shooting, I keep thinking back to my conversations with Jewish Charlottesvillians, and how poignantly they described to me the way their sense of safety was stripped away during the summer of 2017. /1https://twitter.com/pastpunditry/status/1056276786869354496 …

"The detention of immigrants by militias at the border is a strategy that has come up over several decades, one honed by Klansmen in the 1970s and mercenaries in the 1980s" says Bring the War Home author

As they leave, they chant “AIM,” the acronym for American Identity Movement, which is how Identity Evropa rebranded itself last month. I gave a paper last week on why the narrative that the alt-right collapsed post-
#Charlottesville was wrong. This is one more data point.https://twitter.com/cewigginton/status/1122255631757524992 …

Also, just to be very clear, no part of his hypothetical aligns with what actually happened before and during the Unite the Right rally.

Reader Todd K. would like me to know that “very fine people” sometimes *have* to march with neo-Nazis because of sunk-costs.pic.twitter.com/Q4D0U8IkQx

"There is no more need to debate whether support for racism is a feature of the Trump administration; the question is how much longer Americans will tolerate it."https://twitter.com/pastpunditry/status/1121891040565366784 …

White supremacists chose Charlottesville as a place to try to mainstream their views — and Donald Trump continues to help them out. My latest for

By blocking the marketing of thalidomide, Dr. Frances Kelsey saved literally thousands of babies in the United States from being born with birth defects. This is how the New York Times ended a profile of her in 1962:pic.twitter.com/SNngHBewQp

So curious about this mythical "very fine person" who attended the Unite the Right rally with no knowledge of the organizers or speakers, no awareness of the violent torchlight march the night before, and no problem with the Nazi flags or armed groups in the park that day.

Hello, trolls! Some quick fact-checks: The UTR rally was organized by white supremacists and neo-Nazis; the rally featured plenty of Nazi flags, so no one was confused about the context; and the Civil War was about slavery, not tariffs.

(Also Lee was a traitor who led a rebellion against the U.S. government to defend the enslavement of millions.)

Because it can’t be said enough: the organizers and speakers for the Unite the Right rally were neo-Nazis, Klansmen, and avowed white supremacists, and they engaged in an act of planned political violence the night before. “Very fine people” don’t attend neo-Nazi rallies.https://twitter.com/politico/status/1121774863486611457 …

This is what the right-wing "Twitter is biased!" campaign has been working towards. This is what "working the refs" looks like.https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/1121558142842806279 …
