Every year, the Southern Poverty Law Center releases a report on the year in hate and extremism.

Here are @willcarless' four takeaways. revealnews.org/blog/the-hate-…
1: @splcenter counted more hate groups than ever before.
2: White supremacists are really angry (even more so than usual).
3: Black nationalist groups are also on the rise.
4: Hate groups and extremist groups aren’t always the same thing.

1/ The Trump administration said it wanted to target human smugglers.

ICE took info from children, then used it to deport their families.

We investigated one operation that ended in more than 400 arrests. revealnews.org/article/they-u…
2/ The program was called the Human Smuggling Disruption Initiative. Its stated goal was to lessen the “constant humanitarian threat” of child smuggling.

Our review of the operation casts doubt on that official narrative.
3/ Over the course of three months, the agency made more than 400 arrests.

Yet our search of more than 1,400 smuggling-related cases filed in federal court in the seven months during and after the operation turned up only one case that was clearly connected to the program.

Arkansas just voted to relax restrictions on dicamba, a drift-prone weedkiller that has devastated crops across the U.S. @MotherJones: motherjones.com/environment/20…
@MotherJones It's reminiscent of a larger pattern. In the past two years, use of dicamba has grown exponentially, destroying millions of acres of crops – and costing millions of dollars.

EPA could have averted the damage. It didn't. revealnews.org/article/scient…
@MotherJones Also: Beekeepers say dicamba is destroying critical food sources for their colonies, putting their livelihoods in peril. revealnews.org/article/bees-f…

Why do extremist conservative voices oppose pro-democracy reforms? And does a little-noticed memo attacking Democrat's pro-democracy bill, HR 1, rip off the mask of the modern conservative movement's mixture of plutocracy and divisive rhetoric? THREAD 👇
thinkprogress.org/conservative-g…
HR 1 is a massive pro-democracy bill that passed the House w/ support from every Democrat. It would expand voting, limit the influence of wealthy donors and corporations in our political system, strengthen ethics requirements, and confront gerrymandering. /2
The bill has met opposition from exactly the types of groups you might expect: corporate interests, DC lobbyists, and wealthy donors. /3

Something I've been meaning to say about The Tragedy of the Commons. Bear with me for a small thread on why our embrace of Hardin is a stain on environmentalism. tldr: we’ve let a flawed metaphor by a racist ecologist define environmental thinking for a half century. 1/
Hardin’s article, published in Science, turned 50 this past December. Since then, tens of millions of students have been taught its core message. Every individual seeks to exploit the commons. In doing so they unsustainably overuse our shared resources to the ruin of all. 2/
Google Scholar gives me a current citation count of 38730 (!). Most articles on environmental politics use the phrase at some point or another. It has permeated our lexicon like few other concepts. Here is the original Science essay, btw: science.sciencemag.org/content/162/38… 3/

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
