The ADL's page on Kirk's organization states: "TPUSA's leadership and activists have made multiple racist or bigoted comments and have been linked to a variety of extremists", citing numerous incidents such as a TPUSA chapter head posting a joke about the murder of three Black students at their university; another chapter president caught on video yelling "white power"; and the organization inviting a prominent white nationalist to speak at Iowa State University…
In all the cases, at the centre of the ADF's publicity is the idea that silent prayer is being criminalised – and people's right to freedom of religion is being eroded.
But Clarke says this is a distraction. "The thing they try to push is that it's just 'silently praying': you might be walking down the road minding your business and a police officer leaps out.
But that's not how it works. These campaigners seek out abortion clinics and they stand directly outside," she says…
She said the attempt to focus on "silent prayer" and freedom of speech and religion appeared to be a "deliberate strategy by the anti-abortion movement". "They are still free to pray and say what they want about abortion. They are just asking them to move 100m down the street."…
"They are really focused on a couple of things," said Piggott. "One is centering, organizing and trying to recruit people through combat sports ... but also, preparing for political and racially motivated violence."
A rightwing Christian "hate group" which is behind a host of legal efforts to roll back abortion rights, remove anti-LGBTQ+ protections and demonize trans people has seen a huge increase in its funding and has funneled some of that money to a slew of smaller anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-abortion groups across the US, the Guardian can reveal...
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Patriot Front was responsible for the vast majority of "hateful propaganda" in the US in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In the past couple of years, the group has begun to venture more into the daylight, and held more rallies and demonstrations...
…Rousseau requires Patriot Front members to distribute the group's stickers weekly, and upload photos to an internal channel as proof they've done an assignment. It also requires members to buy the stickers from him directly at a markup.
"If any of the prices seem above market rate it's because it also goes toward paying for our servers, our digital accounts and subscriptions, and the food I can afford to eat," wrote Rousseau. One member complained that their region was "single-handedly paying Thomas' rent" with the amount of stickers they were buying…

At 14-years-old, Christian Picciolini went from naive teenager to white supremacist, and soon, the leader of America’s first neo-Nazi skinhead gang. How was he radicalized, and how did he ultimately get out? In this courageous talk, Christian shares a surprising and counterintuitive solution to hate in all forms. After leaving the white-supremacist skinhead movement that he helped build in the 1980s and 90s, Christian Picciolini co-founded Life After Hate, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people disengage from violent extremism. His memoir, White American Youth: My Descent into America's Most Violent Hate Movement—and How I Got Out (Hachette), which details his involvement, and eventual disengagement, from the early American white nationalist movement, will be published on December 26, 2017. Christian lives in Chicago. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Rick Wiles declares that Right Wing Watch is an "anti-Christian hate group" funded by "Jewish money" to do the bidding of the "synagogue of Satan."....
Neo-Nazis are on the rise in America. Nearly a month after a gunman killed eleven Jewish worshipers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, we look at the violent hate groups that helped fuel the massacre. On the same day that shooter Robert Bowers opened fire in the synagogue, a neo-Nazi named Edward Clark that Bowers had been communicating with online took his own life in Washington, D.C. The man’s brother, Jeffrey Clark, has since been arrested on weapons charges. The brothers were both linked to the violent white supremacist group Atomwaffen. We speak with A.C. Thompson, correspondent for FRONTLINE PBS and reporter for ProPublica. His investigation “Documenting Hate: New American Nazis” premieres tonight on PBS stations and online..... https://youtu.be/_Mv2gn__l1Y .
