I promise I’m not slacking, guys. I’ll crank out the other threads you requested as soon as I can.

Thread list is updated below and, as always, is free.

Infiltration piece is with my editor, and it honestly took a lot out of me, so I’m going to give myself a day to rest up.
lol @ my brand of ‘relaxation’

- keep one eye on the security situation
- wait on standby for editor comments and revisions
- resume reading that Arabic treatise on medieval grammar

I should probably learn to knit.
Back off I go, to the surreal task of writing a giant pile of recommendation letters for former students

In between

Doing a tiny pile of the (what, maybe 4 available?) job applications of my own. 😬
HONESTLY BRUH LET PEOPLE LIVE
Hey you trying to do laundry
Hey what’s in the fridge
Hey lemme have your chair
Hey you trying to do dishes

LET. PEOPLE. LIVE.
He’s even more distracting than Twitter when I need to work.

Somehow.

We could all use some hope at the moment, so I wanted to share a (very unexpected) message I just received.

People can change.

And we can’t afford to forget that, especially right now. ImageImage
That particular kill list cost me nearly everything, quite literally.

I’m a lot angrier at the non-Nazis who punished me for risking my life than I am at the Nazis that made it.

And I’m thankful to the person who wrote this apology, and immensely thankful they got out.
I’m actually a bit emotional now, given what that kill list did to my life, so I’m going to log off.

But:

I’m so grateful for the desperately needed reminder that what we do is worth the personal toll and high cost. Someone broke free - and that’s the best gift I could get.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

And the RESIST Twitter types’ taunts, gloating, and total lack of self-awareness is only going to make things worse. ImageImageImageImage
And it’s not just a few niche white supremacist accounts, btw.

It’s everywhere.
Some of you seem like you’re jealous no one uses the phrase “sectarian” for American politics — yet.

Don’t worry, though.

Your efforts to get us there have been noted.

“WE MADE IT!”
#InaugurationDay Goal:

Get blocked by the entirety of #R#E#S#I#S#T# Twitter for displays of realism instead of prematurely triumphant delusions.

Remember all those warnings many of us sent out about Matthew Heimbach’s supposed “former” status?

Looks like the Charlottesville Nazi went mask off. Unsurprisingly.

Claims of redemption don’t mean anything without time and action. Heimbach was a fraud from the start.
Believe it or not, it IS sometime possible for neo-Nazis to reform and serve the common good.

But not for self-interested grifters who ‘reform’ overnight when they facing charges.

The real ones don’t ask for or expect acceptance, and prove themselves in actions. Case in point:
Never trust a neo-Nazi claiming overnight ‘reformed’ while facing legal charges, especially those who use that claim for sweet, sweet ‘deradicalization’ money.

Another tell:

True ‘formers’ don’t expect you to believe or accept them, and don’t seek rewards for doing the work.

Before I jump offline to finish this, brief thread incoming:

Let’s talk MLK day and forgotten American history: how some states had to be forced to observe it.

Might surprise you that the story doesn’t take place in the old south, and the NFL played a key role.
Why did MLK Day become a thing?

Well, one reason - of course - has to do with white supremacy, political violence, and the Aryan Nations.

The year: 1984.
In 1984, Aryan Nations bombed an Idaho synagogue - one several attacks over the 1980s.

It was bad enough that national media paid attention.

Aryan Nations’ home base is Idaho - the governor wanted to mitigate negative press coverage.

BIG YIKES.

Lawsuits over the Mulugeta Seraw case bankrupted Tom Metzger - former KKK Grand Dragon of California and founder of White Aryan Resistance.

The WARskins were among the worst of the skinhead neo-Nazis on the west coast in the 80s/90s (lot of Hammerskin overlaps).
Thankfully, Tom Metzger died in 2020. Great day at our house. He was one of the worst human beings imaginable.

Lest you think skinheads aren’t still a thing, to cite just one example: the perpetrator of the Oak Creek massacre at a Sikh temple was a Hammerskin (and a veteran).
Tom Metzger also - see the infiltration thread lower down on the timeline - was one of the white supremacist leaders who advocated infiltration as strategy.

He ordered boys to avoid tattoos, join law enforcement, the military, law, etc.

Many did. This is an old thing, y’all.
