While it is good that notorious antisemite and white supremacist Nick Fuentes was removed from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) conference, it was rife with bigotry.
Anti-trans hate animated many CPAC 23 speakers, making baseless claims of “grooming” and attacking gender-affirming care. Our Center on Extremism takes a deeper dive into anti-trans messaging at CPAC and its dangerous implications. adl.org/resources/blog…
Former President Trump also delivered remarks that were in character but still dangerous. His claims about expelling warmongers, driving out globalists, casting out communists, and throwing off those who hate our country echo classic #antisemitic rhetoric.

🧵 NEW: White supremacist propaganda distributions hit an all-time high last year, according to a new ADL Center on Extremism assessment. With more than 6,700 incidents, there was a 38% increase over 2021 and the highest number of incidents we’ve ever recorded.
Even more concerning – antisemitic propaganda more than doubled from 2021 to 2022. The surge was largely because of the GDL’s growth and initiation of propaganda campaigns, but the formation of several new white supremacist groups also contributed.
Propaganda was reported in every state except Hawaii, but some states were hit harder than others. Texas, Massachusetts, Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, Utah, Florida, Connecticut and Georgia had the most activity.

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.

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.

📢 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.
