All of the Extremist Killings in the US in 2018 Had Links to Right-Wing Extremism, According to New Report

These are the facts that we need to know. The ideology that gives rise to pervasive, chilling, and devastating dehumanization and violence is something we all need to stand up to through our fierce commitment to nonviolence, through refusing to return hatred with more hatred, and through our activism, truth-telling, and dedication to alleviating suffering and being the peace our world hungers for. 🙏 Molly

Far Right Creates Antifa “Violence Myths” to Justify its Own Attacks > “The “violent left” myth has esp been concocted by the Proud Boys and compatriots that converted THEIR aggression as acts of self-defense.
