NEW: The data is clear year after year. Right-wing extremists present an urgent and persistent violent threat in the US. Our just-released annual report on extremist-related murders provides the key data and analyzes the important trends. 🧵
📈 Increased mass killings are one of the most alarming recent developments in extremist violence. Domestic extremists killed at least 25 people in 12 separate incidents in the US in 2022 – but 60% of those killed were victims of mass shooting attacks.
The two deadliest 2022 attacks were shooting sprees: the attack on Club Q, an LGBTQ+ bar in Colorado Springs, in November and the white supremacist attack on the Tops supermarket in Buffalo in May.
Our Center on Extremism reveals there have been 46 ideological extremist mass killings since 1970, more than half of which have occurred only since 2010. Take a deeper dive and review this alarming development. adl.org/resources/repo…
We need to push Congress to act and support the #DomesticTerrorismPreventionAct to ensure the federal government has every tool to protect our communities from the threat of domestic extremist violence. Urge your Rep to support these efforts. adl.salsalabs.org/dtpa-adl Image

Despite concerns over increased antisemitic activity, 2/25 has so far been a pretty typical Saturday in America, w/ white supremacist protests in Florida & Georgia, antisemitic propaganda in TX, CA, FL & AZ — & white supremacists monetizing their hate-filled online livestreams.🧵
Increased law enforcement presence as well as heightened community awareness helped to ensure this was a #ShabbatOfPeaceNotHate.
In the face of threats and rising #antisemitism, the American Jewish community was not cowed. We were defiant. We lit Shabbat candles, attended services, and proudly celebrated our faith. Meanwhile, extremists panicked and shared paranoid conspiracy theories.

📢 A new report from the ADL Center on Tech & Society finds deplatforming extremist websites reduces online hate and harassment. A 🧵 for #SaferInternetDay.
Our research shows that it’s harder for extremists to spread their ideologies, recruit adherents, and profit from hateful content without their websites. And it shows how unexpected deplatforming makes it difficult for extremist websites to build and retain followers.
Infrastructure providers, or companies that offer services such as website hosting, domain registration, or payment processing, are poorly understood aspects of the internet. Our new report looks closer at these companies flying under the radar for serving extremist platforms.

Antisemitism is on a terrifying rise these days. When you give to ADL, you help us fight back. 🧵

When celebrities like Kanye West and sports stars like Kyrie Irving spread dangerous lies, we set the record straight.

Sounds like a great idea, but our research this week shows that not only do you not have the resources, but you’re also not prioritizing what’s needed to make good on this… We suggest you read on. 🧵
ADL Center for Tech & Society reported two batches of antisemitic tweets to @Twitter as a trusted flagger on November 2 and November 17.

In two weeks, Twitter went from taking action on 60% of antisemitic tweets to taking action on only 30%.
Our Center on Extremism also analyzed a statistically representative sample from over 529K tweets mentioning "Jews" or "Judaism" both before and after Elon Musk’s takeover. They found a notable increase in the percentage of tweets that espoused or defended antisemitic sentiments.

🧵 The #MidtermElections2022 last week made one thing clear: we’ve held off an existential threat to our democracy – for now. Overall, more than 19 million people voted for extremist candidates nationwide.
Out of the 49 major extremist candidates tracked by our Center on Extremism, 17 won their race, collecting more than 6.7 million votes.
While Americans largely repudiated extremism and hate, the threat to democracy is far from over. The victories of extremist candidates and their millions of supporters show we need to do more before 2024.
