Identity Evropa
AGAINST IDENTITY EVROPA AGAINST THE ALT RIGHT Big Nazi On Campus May 15, 2016 ON FRIDAY, May 6th, white nationalist Richard Spencer, President and director of National Policy Institute (NPI), (a think tank aimed at mil- lennials and educated adults that puts on conferences), and head of its publishing arm Washington Summit Publishers, arrived just before 3pm at UC Berkeley. Encircled by three other white nationalists, Spen- cer walked from the street through several corridors and hallways until finally making his way to Sproul Plaza where a group of other supporters had already gathered and started to live-stream and hold signs. In doing so, Spencer was stepping out of the world of paid con- ferences and weekly podcasts and into the terrain of street activism. Having announced the event on his twitter 48 hours before hand and working with Red Ice Radio, a live-streaming and in home studio run by a white nationalist married couple, the National Policy Institute along with Identity Europa, the youth wing of the American Freedom Party, (a key organizer for ANP is David Duke’s former right-hand man, Jamie Kelso), a Neo-Nazi formation, was working to create a “virtual rally.” The event itself was billed as a “Safe Space” to talk about race in America, using language common among left-wing, ac- tivist, and anarchist spaces. Before the rally even began, Spencer’s fellow white nationalists at Red Ice were already playing up what they imagined was going to happen that day. “Here is is, the birth of the free speech movement, and all of these liberals aren’t going to be able to stand white people talking about race,” they stated, (as if somehow Further resources Berkeley was devoid of white people doing just that). -

National Context of White Supremacy: Campus Incidents 2016-2017 U.S
National Context of White Supremacy: Campus Incidents 2016-2017 U.S. News & World Report, August 18, 2017, Charlottesville Exposes New Threat for College Campuses1 • “Last school year, racist flyers popped up on college campuses at a rate that experts call unprecedented. The Anti-Defamation League counted 161 white supremacist ‘flyering incidents’ on 110 college campuses between September and June.” • “On college campuses, white supremacists and other far-right extremist groups see fertile ground to spread their messages and recruit followers….The rally in Charlottesville left universities across the U.S. bracing for more clashes between extremists and protesters who oppose them. It also left schools in an increasingly tight bind as they try to ensure campus safety in the face of recruiting efforts by white nationalists and neo-Nazi groups that have escalated beyond campus flyers and online messages, and to balance that with freedom of speech.” Newsweek, April 28, 2017, The Plot to Paper College Campuses with Racist Posters2 • In late January 2017, Jared Taylor of the nonprofit New Century Foundation (a pro-white group) and American Renaissance, a white supremacist organization, launched a “white consciousness campaign” to “inundate college and university campuses with white propaganda.” His website offered 13 tips on how to hang racist propaganda without getting caught and linked to “15 downloadable posters (https://www.amren.com/printable-posters) that co-opt some of the most powerful images of the 20th century.” • Since fall 2016, white supremacist groups have put up flyers and posters on 90+ college campuses in 32 states, according to the Anti-Defamation League. -
Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center Before the Armed Services Committee United States House of Representatives
Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center before the Armed Services Committee United States House of Representatives Extremism in the Armed Forces March 24, 2021 My name is Lecia Brooks. I am chief of staff of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Thank you for the opportunity to present testimony on extremism in the U.S. Armed Forces and what we can do to address this challenge. Now in our 50th year, the SPLC is a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people. SPLC lawyers have worked to shut down some of the nation’s most violent white supremacist groups by winning crushing, multimillion-dollar jury verdicts on behalf of their victims. We have helped dismantle vestiges of Jim Crow, reformed juvenile justice practices, shattered barriers to equality for women, children, the LGBTQ+ community, and the disabled, and worked to protect low-wage immigrant workers from exploitation. The SPLC began tracking white supremacist activity in the 1980s, during a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and other organized extremist hate groups. Today, the SPLC is the premier U.S. nonprofit organization monitoring the activities of domestic hate groups and other extremists. Each year since 1990, we have conducted a census of hate groups operating across America, a list that is used extensively by journalists, law enforcement agencies, and scholars, among others. The SPLC Action Fund is dedicated to fighting for racial justice alongside impacted communities in pursuit of equity and opportunity for all. -

Escaping Eden
Escaping Eden Chapter 1 I wake up screaming. Where am I? What’s going on? Why do I feel so cold? It’s dark. I look around, blinking sleep from my eyes. I notice a window somewhere in the back of the room. It’s open and moonlight shines through, casting a square beam of light across the floor. A breeze drifts in, and white curtains float like pale ghosts in the darkness. In the narrow light of the moon, I see that the carpet is burgundy. I also see the outlines of furniture. My head vaguely aching, I look at the shadows scattered messily across the room. I feel like sweeping them up to make room for light. I shake off the urge. Stop being delusional. There’s a funny smell in the air, like a mixture of old home mustiness and laboratory sterilization. I realize that I’m lying on the floor. Why am I not on the bed? The last thing I remember is pain. Maybe that’s why I woke up screaming. The pain was intense. The pain was… cold. I decide to swallow my fear. It tastes terrible. I stand up and my neck aches. As I rub my hand across it, my bones crack like I haven’t moved in a long time. I whisper to myself. “As Grandpa always said…” My train of thought rolls off into the distance. Where was I going with this? Who is “Grandpa”? I put my hand on my sweaty forehead. I must be tired. I look for a light switch by approaching the walls and groping around. -
Pression and Shock, He Burned His Ballet Slippers and Fled to the Sewers, Only to Surface These Forty Years Later
Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo “The funniest night you will ever have at the ballet.” - Sunday Times “This is a company that brings its audiences pure joy.” -The Seattle Times History th Celebrating its 40 Anniversary season, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo was founded in 1974 by a group of ballet enthusiasts for the purpose of presenting a playful, entertaining view of traditional, classical ballet in parody form and en travesti, Les Ballets Trockadero first performed in the late-late shows in Off-Off Broadway lofts. The TROCKS, as they are affectionately known, quickly garnered a major critical essay by Arlene Croce in The New Yorker, and combined with reviews in The New York Times and The Village Voice, established the Company as an artistic and popular success. By mid 1975, the TROCKS' inspired blend of their loving knowledge of dance, their comic approach, and the astounding fact that men can, indeed, dance en pointe without falling flat on their faces, was being noted beyond New York. Articles and notices in publications such as Variety, Oui, The London Daily Telegraph, as well as a Richard Avedon photo essay in Vogue, made the Company nationally and internationally known. The 1975-76 season was a year of growth and full professionalization. The Company found management, qualified for the National Endowment for the Arts Touring Program, and hired a full-time teacher and ballet mistress to oversee daily classes and rehearsals. Also in this season, they made their first extended tours of the United States and Canada. Packing, unpacking, and repacking tutus and drops, stocking giant sized toe shoes by the case; running for planes and chartered buses all became routine parts of life. -

Whereas, It is represented to the General Assembly that the flag designed and used as the Flag of Maryland, under the Proprietary Government, and which is still known as the Maryland Flag, has never been formally adopted by Maryland as a State, its use having been continued by common consent only; and, Whereas, It is not only desirable that the official Flag of Maryland should be formally adopted and legalized, but it is eminently fitting that, by reason of its historic interest and meaning, as well as for its beauty and harmony of colors, the flag adopted should be the one which, from the earliest settlement of the Province to the present time, has been known and distinguished as the Flag of Maryland; therefore, ,y • ■ SECTION i.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY Written by Jeff Lowell
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY Written by Jeff Lowell Technical note: This series is the story of a couple, Peter and Dana, and it'll be partially told from their POV. We'll have the freedom to see through their eyes and hear their thoughts at various points. I'll specify the POV shots when it's necessary for the story or joke, but aside from that, it'll be an editing choice. TEASER FADE IN. INT. NEW YORK STREET - DAY We’re in the Village, streets still crowded with people heading home from work, shopping, going to dinner... PETER is walking towards the camera. He’s 30ish, a good looking guy. His eyes move back and forth, looking at the people heading towards him. PETER’S POV: We see that his gaze is flitting from woman to woman, landing on each one briefly. The men don’t even exist to him - they’re blurs on the way to the next woman. He’s deciding whether or not he’d sleep with every woman that he sees. PETER (V.O.) Yes. (NEXT) No. (NEXT) Yes, but don’t have a shot. Maybe when I was in college. If she was drunk and trying to get back at her boyfriend who cheated on her. (NEXT, SHE’S IN HER 50s) Yes. But for how long? Five more years? I wonder what the oldest woman I’d have sex with is. When I’m sixty, will sixty year old women look good to me, or are they just my only option? Peter spots a gorgeous woman with huge breasts, cleavage showing. -
