Video obtained by @buzzfeednews shows former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos singing for a Nazi-saluting crowd.
—showing hypocrisy of Breitbart’s assertions that “Milo is NOT a white nationalist, nor a member of the alt right.”
buzzfeed.com/josephbernstei…
Yiannopoulos’ career has been a tightrope walk staying “if not clean, then clean enough” of open white supremacy.
Trump advisor Steve Bannon, who turned Breitbart into an "alt-right” megaphone, groomed Yiannopoulos’ star persona.
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
That is, before Bannon brought his “alt-right” agenda to the White House.
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016…
Bannon has praised Yiannopoulos’ writing as “very Andrew Breitbart-ian”—comparing him to the site’s late founder…
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
...who had also covertly rubbed elbows with young white nationalists.
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2014…
Under Bannon, Yiannopoulos worked with white nationalists to establish the “alt-right” as more palatable to the mainstream...
… with funding and input from the Mercer Family Foundation…
…& input from journalists, tech workers, Peter Thiel, & “a diverse group of Americans” with “fears about the future of the country.”
As star & manager of an “alt-right” “traveling stage show” Yiannopoulos has functioned as a magnet for the movement.
splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
Yiannopoulos no longer works at Breitbart, but Bannon is back at the helm of his “killing machine.”
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
Bannon may be out of the White House, but his dangerous ideology has taken root.

Last year, we won a temporary stay of deportation for journalist Manuel Duran, who was arrested in Memphis in April, then detained & threatened with deportation.

This year, we'll keep fighting for immigrants in the Deep South. #SPLCWinterReadingList bit.ly/2Bb112a
Like so many others who have been deported or are detained & awaiting deportation, Manuel Duran would be in grave danger if her were deported from the US. splcenter.org/news/2018/12/1…
Law students volunteered with us to help defend our clients. "Immigration prisons exact an enormous emotional toll, & they make it nearly impossible for prisoners to find legal representation for their asylum cases," one wrote. splcenter.org/attention-on-d…

"Let me be clear: walls work and we have them we are stopping illegals from getting into our country.” — DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Let’s be clear: walls don’t work and no human is illegal.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA): How many children 17 years old or younger have died in DHS, ICE or CBP custody since you took office?

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen: I will get back you.

That number should be 0.
"I'm not a liar. We've never had a policy of family separation." — DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen

We represent parents who have been separated from their children. Secretary Nielsen's claims do not reflect the facts that we are seeing on the ground. bit.ly/2Ltf7iV

Peter Brown is a US citizen who was mistakenly detained by ICE after local sheriffs arrested him. We're suing. npr.org/2018/12/18/677…
In January, 17 Florida counties signed Basic Ordering Agreements, which compensate local sheriffs for their collaboration with ICE. Our lawsuit is the first to challenge a Florida sheriff for unlawfully detaining people at ICE’s request as part of a BOA. splcenter.org/news/2018/12/0…
Peter Brown was released from detention but as a result of the ordeal he lost his job and was unemployed. He also lives with the fear that he’ll be sent away from his family and friends. splcenter.org/seeking-justic…

Are there any non-white journalists/columnists that cover the Alberta legislature?

Seven vetted UCP candidates have made racist comments and a key member of Kenney's leadership campaign is a white supremacist.

I feel like this is not getting the coverage it deserves. #ableg
I mean look here:

"former campaign worker with alleged ties to white supremacists"

Why is it 'alleged' when there are posts of him making white supremacist statements and being a member of white supremacist groups.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Whether you like this source or not it clearly shows that Adam Strashok lead a key part of Jason Kenney's war room. It's also clear that he is an open white nationalist.

There really isn't anything else here.

A boycott of #Amazon would be a major disruption to me
But may come to that. 👇

Amazon publishes a library of white nationalist books and magazines. They know it, and won’t stop mic.com/articles/19145…

For celebrity racists and white nationalist intellectuals, one marketplace is still open for business: Amazon, where fresh titles like The White Nationalist Manifesto are available to Kindle users everywhere.

The president of the United State has a white supremacy problem.

What does Russia/Putin have to do with white nationalism and social conservatism?

Almost everything.

You cannot understand trump’s support for certain domestic and foreign policies unless you understand the connection between Putin and the far right in America.

Thread
Trump is an unusual president in that he doesn’t govern to the center, but instead, to his base, a minority of voters in America. Given that he does that, it’s important to understand his base-who are they?
They consist primarily of two factions-racist white nationalists and social conservatives.

White nationalists are the new incarnation of white supremacists. They believe in the creation of a white ethno-state and vehemently opposed to immigration and diversity.
