#AmyConeyBarrett has ties to the anti-LGBTQ hate group Alliance Defending Freedom.

Here’s why we list ADF is a hate group splcenter.org/news/2020/04/1…
Barrett has lectured at the Blackstone Legal Fellowship — a training program for lawyers that has included anti-LGBTQ tracts on its reading lists — five times, beginning in 2011.
washingtonpost.com/politics/coney…
The reading list includes former ADF president Alan Sears' book "The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today," which falsely claims that LGBTQ+ rights comes at the expense of the rights of people of faith. Read more ⬇️ splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
During her 2017 Seventh Circuit Court confirmation hearings, #AmyConeyBarrett claimed ignorance of ADF's anti-LGBTQ views, even though Alan Sears book was on the Blackstone reading list in 2011, when she first taught. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
We've reported on what "religious liberty" means and how it's used by hate groups like Alliance Defending Freedom and Family Research Council, which have both been mentioned during the #SCOTUS hearings, in an attempt to limit LGBTQ+ rights.

Not only will #AmyConeyBarrett's confirmation endanger civil rights for women, people of color and LGBTQ+ Americans, this hearing distracts the Senate from doing the necessary work of hammering out a relief package amidst the #COVID19 pandemic.

We have determined that Matthew Q. Gebert, a U.S. State Department official since 2013, oversaw a Washington D.C.-area chapter of a white nationalist organization, hosted white nationalists in his home & published white nationalist propaganda online. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
Gebert operated under the alias “Coach Finstock,” based on a character from the 1985 movie Teen Wolf. His wife, Anna Vukovic, is also active in online white nationalist forums. She uses the pseudonym “Wolfie James,” possibly a reference to the same movie.
To report this story, @MichaelEHayden studied “Coach Finstock’s” online presence & spoke with Gebert’s neighbors, wife & sources who have attended gatherings of white nationalists at Gebert’s home.

A federal court just sentenced James Alex Fields Jr. to serve 2 consecutive life sentences and 27 concurrent life sentences on 29 counts of federal hate crimes. He will be sentenced in state court on July 15. splcenter.org/news/2019/06/2…
Fields drove his Dodge Challenger into a crowd of anti-racist counterprotestors during the white nationalist Unite the Right rally in #Charlottesville in August 2017. He killed 32-year-old #HeatherHeyer and injured 28 others during the attack.
#HeatherHeyer worried that “someone might do something stupid and someone might die,” according to the sentencing memo. She attended the anti-racist counter-protest anyway. A few hours later she was dead, murdered by Fields. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…

Alexander Slavros, the founder of the online neo-fascist forum Iron March, disappeared from the internet in late November 2017. He spread an ideology rooted in thoughts of violence, racial conquest & fascist purity that still causes harm. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
Our reporter, @MichaelEHayden analyzed roughly 6,000 posts by Slavros scraped from Iron March. He analyzed a total of 150,000 posts. These messages were posted between its launch in 2011 & September 2017, 2 months before Slavros & the forum disappeared. bit.ly/2YOeZjy
The website slavros [dot] org was registered to a Moscow-based man named Alisher Mukhitdinov, according to publicly available records.

Russian journalist Alexey Kovalev confirmed that a propaganda video posted to Iron March was filmed in the Moscow neighborhood Tverskaya.

The Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes banned members from attending the Charlottesville rally. Now the group has named Enrique Tarrio as chairman. Here’s Tarrio, in Charlottesville.
Enrique Tarrio was the leader of the Proud Boys Miami chapter. In an interview following the rally in Charlottesville, Tarrio said: “After I saw the tiki torch thing, I was completely against it.” It didn’t stop him from attending Unite the Right the very next day.
In the photo below from the deadly Charlottesville rally, Tarrio is wearing the patch of the Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights (FOAK), the now defunct paramilitary wing of the Proud Boys.

“I just remember seeing Heather Heyer’s eyes. I thought ‘that’s what someone’s eyes look like when you’re dead'” said Jean Peterson, who was run over by James Fields during the "Unite the Right" rally. Today, prosecutors focused on the moment Fields drove his car into the crowd.
Charlottesville Police Detective Jeremy Carper said Fields' car had blood stains on it, and sunglasses + a water bottle were stuck to it. The grill + passenger side mirror fell off. Ryan Kelly, a former photographer for the @DailyProgress, said Fields didn’t hit the brakes.
@DailyProgress “It was faster than any car I’d seen go down that street,” Kelly told jurors.
