The flash-mob-esque military-style performance might appear comedic—if not for the fact that the group is one of the fastest growing neo-Nazi organizations in the U.S., responsible for organizing violent street actions, celebrating mass murder, and spreading white supremacist propaganda.

Leading the march in Kansas City was white supremacist Patriot Front founder Thomas Rousseau.

Rousseau, a figure who goes to great lengths (to little avail) to exude paramilitary bravado, does little to strike fear in anyone.

On Saturday more than a hundred masked white fascists snapped open the rear doors of a convoy of U-Haul trucks and spilled onto the steps of KC’s World War I Memorial.

Faces hidden by white masks, they unfurled inverted U.S. flags and Confederate banners.

Now, a jury has confirmed what many have long suspected. In a bombshell verdict, former Communications Director Chris Hernandez has won his whistleblower lawsuit, with the court ruling that Platt not only engaged in corruption but retaliated against those who refused to comply.

🏫 WHAT WE TEACH: THE CURRICULUM OF LIBERATION

The revolutionary program struck like lightning for nineteen-year-old Langston Milsap, who joined B-REAL because he knows that change demands action. In the sanctuary of B-REAL, he told us, he found power, he found community, and a place where freedom could be imagined out loud.

Rooted in the legacy of the Black Radical Tradition, B-REAL draws from a lineage of liberation programs—like the Harlem Writer’s Guild, the Black Panther’s Liberation Schools, the Black Freedom Schools by SNCC, the Greensboro’s Malcolm X Liberation University, the Harlem Carver School & more.

B-REAL (Black Radical Education for Abolition & Liberation) Academy is as much a program for survival as it is a transformative vision. From the moment of emancipation, education/literacy were the first acts of liberation for Black communities—tools to resist oppression and imagine new realities.

In the immediate aftermath, Independence Police Chief Adam Dustman convened a hasty press conference that can only be described as a state-sanctioned disinformation campaign.

Their target? A 100-pound petite woman (Maria Pike) holding her infant daughter while in the throes of a domestic altercation.

Exclusive footage obtained by The Kansas City Defender shows officers storming the building with pistols drawn and at least one cop sprinting up the stairs wielding a military-grade assault rifle.

Moments later, officers darted upstairs, the scene immediately escalating in unfathomable fashion, and Talisa would soon learn that her warnings were completely ignored by the police.
