ICE is snatching up American citizens with ID and throwing them in jail for days at a time without any form of due process. But someone with pink hair did a land acknowledgment at my last HOA meeting. I have never felt more politically homeless.

It remains very striking to me that some of the most sober, clear-eyed reporting on the neo Nazi movement in America comes from local reporters like Phil Williams. I can't think of anything as frank and grounded as this from national outlets. Give this guy a follow.

Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.
