I love that the bryant park woodcocks are going viral because there are few creatures that combine magic and idiocy so well but it bears mentioning that a lot of the birds don't make it out of the park alive. Each of these dots represents a woodcock killed by a window strike.

A neo-Nazi group called Patriot Front is quietly building a self-contained business ecosystem in North Texas so its members can make money, employ each other, and avoid consequences when they’re exposed as extremists.
The Texas Observer identified four businesses tied to Patriot Front members or close allies:
* a roofing company,
* a construction firm,
* a real-estate development shell,
* and a tree/junk removal business.
These companies look normal on the surface. No swastikas, no slogans. But behind the scenes:
* Owners and employees show up at Patriot Front events.
* They participate in disaster relief photo-ops used for propaganda.
* They leave mutual five-star reviews to boost each other.
* Some helped organize events celebrating David Duke, an actual KKK leader.
* One business holds the permit for a private white-nationalist fight gym tied to Patriot Front’s paramilitary “active clubs”.
Why do this? Simple:
Patriot Front knows members get fired when exposed. So they’re building a financial safe haven where racists can work, train, and fund extremism without public scrutiny.
Experts say this tactic isn’t new. It’s straight out of the white-power playbook from the 1970s onward. What’s new is how clean and suburban it looks, meaning customers may be unknowingly funding neo-Nazis by hiring a roofer or contractor.
Bottom line:
This isn’t just hate ideology. It’s infrastructure. And communities deserve to know when their money is feeding it.
