Let’s be clear about what’s going on here. This is former Congressional candidate Paul Nehlen, wearing a shirt celebrating the man who murdered worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. On his hand is “110,” apparently a reference to removing Jews from the US.
And somehow there are a bunch of people who would STILL like you to believe that the hand gesture he’s making ISN’T about white nationalism. Those people want you to believe them when they say its relationship to white nationalism is nothing more than a 4chan hoax you fell for.

Today’s the day when a university IT professional searches my hard drives to capture any documents that respond to five search terms demanded by a local lawyer under Nebraska’s Public Records Act.

I’m going to live tweet it now. Enjoy.
The first three search terms—a student’s name—turned up nothing on one of my computers. This is not surprising. The remaining two search terms, for Turning Point USA, also turned up nothing on that first computer.
She is now using a forensic tool called MacQuisition to capture my web browser history.

I want to give you some sense of what it’s like to spend a lot of time under threat. Hopefully it’s not something you’ve experienced. I have, for almost this entire academic year, and I’d like to let you in on it. So here’s a thread:
Basically, since October, I’ve faced a series of threats from prominent members of the Nebraska Republican apparatus. It began with a threatening phone call from @JeffFortenberry’s Chief of Staff, which led to national media exposure, but has continued to the present.
At the moment, IT professionals from @u_nebraska are searching my email, going back to August 2017, looking for any mention of a person’s name or @TPUSA. This is in response to a public records request made by a lawyer representing that person, not that organization.

In an hour or two, I’m going to be attacked by a right-wing mob. It’s source will be Turning Point USA and Breitbart. If you’re interested in seeing how these folks weaponize the internet against college professors, here’s some information:
Last week, while on Spring Break, I was alerted to the fact that several Turning Point USA staff & volunteers posed making the “a-ok” gesture that’s favored by white nationalists because it’s a way to troll liberals and because it’s double nature gives them plausible deniability.
The same gesture has been used by well-known alt-right figures like Milo Yiannopoulos, Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Richard Spencer, and most recently the terrorist in New Zealand.

Christopher Hasson, the white supremacist Coast Guard lieutenant who planned a series of terrorist attacks against Supreme Court justices and prominent Democrats is about to be released on bail to his family because domestic terrorism isn’t a federal crime if you’re a white guy.
And Robert Bowers, the white supremacist domestic terrorist who murdered 11 worshippers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh wasn’t charged as a domestic terrorist. Neither was James Alex Fields Jr. after he mowed down a crowd in Charlottesville and murdered Heather Heyer.
Neither was Dylan Roof who murdered 9 African Americans in a Charleston church. And the Poway synagogue shooter won’t be charged as a domestic terrorist either. White supremacy from the barrel of an AR-15 is domestic terrorism. Congress needs to update our federal laws right now.

Tomorrow, Virginians decide whether to vote Corey Stewart into the US Senate.

Tomorrow marks 451 days since 8/12/17, the weekend when violent neo-Nazis came to beat & murder people on the streets outside my home.

How is Corey Stewart responsible?

Let me count the ways.

(1/55)
Most of the world is familiar with the scenes of tiki torches, swastikas, and mob beatings from the weekend when white supremacists, neo-Nazis, Klansmen & genocidal bigots of every stripe all teamed up.

But this story starts months before Charlottesville became #Charlottesville.
Six months earlier, an unlikely friendship began between an irrelevant blogger looking for exposure and an underdog candidate trying to make a name for himself. Over months of joint events, Corey Stewart and Jason Kessler cultivated a mutually beneficial alliance. (3/55)
