#BREAKING: The neo-nazi group American Identity Movement, formerly known as Identity Evropa, announced today that it has officially disbanded: unicornriot.ninja/2020/neo-nazi-…
In March 2019, we released over a year of leaked records from inside Identity Evropa (IE) as part of our reporting: unicornriot.ninja/2019/neo-nazi-…

Shortly after we published, IE's leader claimed to have disbanded the organization and announced the 'new' American Identity Movement.
Leaked chats from Identity Evropa's Slack channel (since banned by the company) revealed granular details of IE's activities - their yearly conference, meeting locations, and members' claims to be networking with various figures in the Republican Party.

unicornriot.ninja/2019/identity-…
When alt-right junior leader Patrick Casey tried to claim that the American Identity Movement wasn't just Identity Evropa rebranded, we proved how they were still using IE's online infrastructure and accounts for the "new" group:

unicornriot.ninja/2019/identity-…
Identity Evropa's attempt to invisibly transition their assets and members to a new front group...wasn't exactly the Mona Lisa.

The registration for their new nonprofit even used an Identity Evropa email in a filing to the Arizona Corporation Commission: unicornriot.ninja/2019/identity-…
After the rebrand away from the Identity Evropa name, we continued to drop leaks from inside the American Identity Movement- showing that the self-proclaimed 'patriotic' group was only accepting white, non-Jewish members.

unicornriot.ninja/2019/americans…
During the group's short career, the American Identity Movement kept getting banned from various online platforms - Cash App, Google Pay, etc for finances - most of their social media eventually got banned too.

Amazon Web Services hosted their website.

unicornriot.ninja/2019/neo-nazi-…
UR was able to reach an Amazon rep to ask about them hosting the American Identity Movement website, but they declined to go on the record.

The new Mattermost chat they were running via their Amazon hosting trafficked in typical alt-right antisemitism: unicornriot.ninja/2019/leaked-am…
In July 2019 we released another big leak from the American Identity Movement's planning chats: unicornriot.ninja/2019/slouching…

Around this time, the neo-nazi group's activities included propagandizing outside a Philadelphia baseball game & interrupting a DC book talk by @JonathanMetzl
We also obtained and published records from the American Identity Movement's "Dox Support" chat.

Members who had been exposed as white supremacists commiserated together and brainstormed ways to remove documentation of their racism from the internet.

unicornriot.ninja/2019/identity-…
Many readers have met the news of the American Identity Movement's dissolution with justified skepticism, wondering what their committed cadre will get up to next.

We believe many of them will continue their work to infiltrate the GOP at the local level: unicornriot.ninja/2019/missouri-…
The leaked Identity Evropa Discord logs are still indexed online in our #DiscordLeaks database, feel free to use these for your own research.

Other IE-affiliated chats we released along the main set are also available:

Since we obtained neo-nazi planning chats for the Charlottesville rally, we’ve invested in long-term investigative data reporting on fascists and the far-right.

Our most recent project in this area exposes a pro-Nazi boogaloo group: unicornriot.ninja/2020/patriotwa…
With your support, Unicorn Riot can continue our reporting exposing racist and fascist organizing, regardless of what an uncertain future may bring:

NEW: Charges against an Illinois man facing federal felonies from this summer’s uprising in #Minneapolis showcase the tactics, techniques & procedures applied by the US govt against some of the more enthusiastic participants in the George Floyd rebellion. unicornriot.ninja/2020/feds-leve…
The case against 28-year-old Matthew Rupert’s, one of at least 21 federal cases in the Twin Cities this summer, revolves around videos and messages he allegedly posted to his Facebook page, obtained by prosecutors via a search and seizure warrant served to the tech giant.
In St. Paul on Sept 30, Rupert pled not guilty to three federal felonies: civil disorder, riot, and abetting and abetting arson.

Motions were heard, evidence was submitted, and a Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) specialist in the FBI testified in the criminal motion hearing.

Unrest in Philly After Cops Shoot and Kill 27-Year-Old

unicornriot.ninja/2020/unrest-in…

On Monday afternoon, two white Philadelphia Police officers shot and killed #WalterWallaceJr in front of his mother in broad daylight in West Philly. They fired around ten shots.
Neither of the two officers filmed killing #WalterWallaceJr in a hail of bullets seemed to try using their taser first.

His father says he was going through a mental health crisis and that his mother was working to deescalate the situation.
Philly Mayor Jim Kenney expressed sympathy for the family, promising an investigation. However, the investigation is under the auspices of the same police department that shot and killed Walter Wallace, Jr. today.

Philly DA Larry Krasner has also opened a separate investigation.

Police interactions in Indian Country are complicated for many reasons. Jurisdiction in Indian Country varies between reservations and states.

"Indian reservations" were established through treaties throughout the 1700-1800’s between tribal nations & the USA federal government.
