Tonight at 9pm ET, tune into your local PBS station to watch the @frontlinepbs and @ProPublica film, “Documenting Hate: New American Nazis.” We’ll be posting extra info and resources live in a thread here as it premiers. pbs.org/wgbh/frontline…
In the meantime, check out @ACInvestigates' deep dive into Atomwaffen Division, a neo-Nazi group organized as a series of terror cells across the US. propublica.org/article/an-ato…
"Documenting Hate: New American Nazis" is starting now. You can also stream it online here: pbs.org/wgbh/frontline…
Atomwaffen Division, the subject of tonight’s @frontlinepbs and @ProPublica documentary, is designated by the SPLC as a hate group. It’s one of dozens of neo-Nazi groups active in the US. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
“SIEGE,” described in the documentary as the "bible" of Atomwaffen Division, is an obscure neo-Nazi text that proudly promotes terrorism. The author was a longtime admirer of Charles Manson. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…
Last year, the US saw a 22% increase in active neo-Nazi groups, such as Atomwaffen Division. See the @splcenter’s full map of hate groups here. splcenter.org/hate-map
The @splcenter has also tracked flyering by white nationalist groups on American college campuses. Recruitment fliers by Atomwaffen Division have included swastikas and the phrase “Black Lives Don’t Matter.” splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
"The Alt-Right is Killing People."

Earlier this year, we counted 110 people killed or injured by perpetrators influenced by the so-called "alt-right." Some of those alleged killers have ties to Atomwaffen. splcenter.org/20180205/alt-r…
“People looked up to the military guys,” one Atomwaffen Division member tells @ACInvestigates in the documentary. The @ProPublica and @frontlinepbs investigation uncovered multiple military vets who appear to be involved in the neo-Nazi group.
@ProPublica @frontlinepbs The US military has struggled for decades with white supremacists in its ranks. In 1986, the @splcenter wrote a letter to Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger warning that some Marines were “participating in Ku Klux Klan paramilitary activities.” splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
In 2006, the @splcenter’s “Intelligence Report” examined how lax recruiting standards allowed neo-Nazis, racist skinheads and other extremists to infiltrate the US military. "We've got Aryan Nations graffiti in Baghdad." splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
@splcenter In a 2009 report, the Department of Homeland Security warned that “rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat.” splcenter.org/news/2009/04/1…
Also in 2009, the @splcenter urged Congress to investigate extremism in the military. splcenter.org/news/2009/07/1…
The documentary explains that the recent Pittsburgh synagogue attack was an act of "lone wolf" or "leaderless resistance" terrorism, similar to the kind subscribed to by Atomwaffen Division. We recently analyzed the suspect's social media posts. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…
In 2015, the @splcenter issued a report showing acts of “lone wolf” or “leaderless resistance” domestic terrorism, by both the radical right and homegrown jihadists, were on the rise. The report was titled "Age of the Wolf." splcenter.org/news/2015/02/1…
We also produced this 12-minute training video to help law enforcement combat "lone wolf" domestic terrorists in the wake of the Charleston church massacre.
Finally, if you are interested in fighting hate in your community, here are 10 things you can do right now. splcenter.org/20170814/ten-w…
