when MAGA white supremacists like Carl whinge abt passing of 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act they are complaining that it overturned 1924 Johnson-Reed Act, a law limiting immigration to people from Northern Europe, which was drafted by eugenicist Rep. Albert Johnson, with BIG support from the Klan

the great @parkermolloy.com did this round up of awful shit Hanania had said around the time of my story, again, *under his real name,* totally undercutting his claim (after my story published) that he had abandoned his racism/white nationalism www.readtpa.com/p/huffposts-...

moving on... hoo boy. The Times interviewed Richard fucking Hanania, calling him a political scientist, while acknowledging that he used to write for white supremacist sites under a pseudonym but has since "moderated" his views...

first expert voice in the piece? the ADL, an org that's run cover for an ongoing genocide; that called Musk's Nazi salute "awkward gesture"; that's led by man who compared keffiyehs to swastikas; that praised Trump’s brutal repression of campus Palestine activism / attempted deportation of students

first thing is relatively minor but: The posts do not "echo" white supremacist messaging. They ARE that messaging. The admin's staffed from the very fascist spaces/groups/outlets where the messaging was crafted and shared. "Echo" feels chickenshit & allows WH plausible deniability it doesn't deserve

Last week a border patrol agent was filmed pepper-spraying a detained protester at point-blank range. @pacantifa.is identified agent as Tyler Gramlin.
For @us.theguardian.com I asked Gramlin for comment. His response? He sent me a weird far-right "Amelia" meme. "DEFEND YOUR HOMELAND," it said.

The Klan in Buffalo is massive, and increasingly begins to harass black, Jewish and Catholic Buffalonians. A militant resistance begins to form, including a secret club called Knights of the Invisible Jungle of the Tiger’s Eye, a masked group determined to “drag the Klan from its hidden realm.”
