Portland is bracing for another round of clashes between Proud Boys and antifascists next week. The Proud Boy rally organizer has been showing off a MAGA-themed club that he says he'll put to "good use." https://t.co/AExzHAgoMw

There is a long history of white supremacist massacres in U.S. history. Below are 40+, there are many more. This year marks 100th anniversary of Red Summer with massacres (often referred to as race riots) in D.C., Chicago, Elaine, Bogalusa, & more. https://t.co/FoACv0gaik

4. Okay, let's step back a bit: the contemporary American right, contrary to its own self-mythology, was born in the 1930s as an initially inchoate reaction of different factions opposed to the New Deal: the wealthy, "classical liberal" intellectuals & revanchist racists

@ClaudrenaHarold Must think about our positionality as scholars, how we approach problems collectively #FRAF2019

[Far Right and Antifascism Group @FRAFGroup]

Finishing off the day with a fantastic keynote lecture from @ClaudrenaHarold #FRAF2019

[Far Right and Antifascism Group @FRAFGroup]

@ClaudrenaHarold Anger of Richard Spencer is reaction and backlash to black achievement and advances of Jews and other marginalized groups. Must think hard about our framing of fascism, racism, and "political terrorism" #FRAF2019

[Far Right and Antifascism Group @FRAFGroup]

Grace Alvino: Transgression can be used by the left if it punches up rather than further marginalizing people. Can exploit click-based model in theory but very difficult #FRAF2019

[Far Right and Antifascism Group @FRAFGroup]

Discussant @crystaljluo is responding now to the three fantastic papers (@Augusta_Caesar @anaauslouisiana & Grave Alvino) on our International Nationalism, White Supremacy around the World panel #FRAF2019

[Far Right and Antifascism Group @FRAFGroup]

Grace Alvino: 'weev' also successful because of the whiteness and lack of diversity in the press, especially internet media - they see himself as one of them #FRAF2019
