    "Throughout 2022, at least 50 different white supremacist groups and networks distributed propaganda, but three of them – Patriot Front, Goyim Defense League (GDL) and White Lives Matter (WLM) - were responsible for 93 percent of the activity.

    As has been the case since 2019, Texas-based Patriot Front was responsible for the vast majority – 80 percent – of propaganda distributions in 2022."

  • Fox News suddenly goes quiet on 'great replacement' theory after Buffalo shooting Suspect was allegedly motivated by the theory, but network has barely mentioned gunman’s reasoning, even after Tucker Carlson pushed the concept in more than 400 of his shows
    By Adam Gabbatt, The Guardian.com | Tuesday May 17, 2022 2 PM EDT |
    QUOTE FROM ABOVE ARTICLE:
    "The absence of coverage of the motive was revealing, given Fox News's most popular host, Tucker Carlson, has pushed the concept of replacement theory in more than 400 of his shows – and has arguably done more than anyone in the US to popularize the racist conspiracy."

  • Attack in Buffalo: 5.14.22 A white supremacist gunman opened fire at a supermarket, killing ten people and injuring three others. Eleven of the victims were Black. Before the shooting, the gunman allegedly posted a virulently racist and antisemitic manifesto calling for a war between Jews and non-Jews.

    ["House Bill 3979 vaguely states that teachers cannot "require or make part of a course" certain race-related concepts including the idea that one race or sex is "inherently superior to another race or sex" or that an individual is is "inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive" based on their race or sex.

    The bill also states that teachers can't be compelled "to discuss current events or widely debated and currently controversial issues of public policy or social affairs." However, if they must, they are required to "explore such issues from diverse and contending perspectives without giving deference to any one perspective."
