This is going to be a long week. Let’s review what’s known about the two defendants in the UTR lawsuit with connections to #Indiana: Matthew Heimbach and Matthew Parrott. That suit begins tomorrow morning.

Pull up a chair, it’s a 🧵. We first encountered Heimbach in 2012-2013, when he was highly active around Indiana University alongside Martinsville Neo-Nazi and IU student, Thomas Buhls and David Matthew Parrott.

This morning: a 🧵on the Indiana Active Club, an emergent neo-Nazi group and an offshoot of Robert Rundo’s Rise Above Movement and Revolt Through Tradition.

CW: conspiracy theories, antisemitism, racism. Let’s begin in April of 2021. Our research team kept an eye on the Indiana White Lives Matter channel on Telegram. Though not stated, the IN WLM channel had multiple users whose profile photos suggested they were Proud Boys and members of a group calling themselves the Indy Crew.

Let’s talk about the current conflict between Sarah Dye (Volkmom) and the City of Bloomington: A thread. Troublingly, Sarah Dye, known as “Volkmom” in Discord chat rooms has been actively involved with hate groups that encourage members to conceal their finances and make them difficult to trace — a network that can advise her and learn from her experience in the courts.

NSFH Research has sent @gofundme and @musa a letter asking them to uphold their commitment to racial equality by deplatforming white supremacists like Sarah Dye of Schooner Creek Farm who use GFM to fund their activities. A thread/ nospace4hate.btown-in.org/open-letter-to… @gofundme @musa let’s begin with the problem that links to Sarah Dye’s Go Fund Me are found across white nationalists platforms online- including StormFront and on the BitChute page for British Neo-Nazi Mark Collett.
