  • How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics
    GETTY CORUM IMAGES/SAMUEL How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics By Simon Clark July 2020 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics By Simon Clark July 2020 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 4 Tracing the origins of white supremacist ideas 13 How did this start, and how can it end? 16 Conclusion 17 About the author and acknowledgments 18 Endnotes Introduction and summary The United States is living through a moment of profound and positive change in attitudes toward race, with a large majority of citizens1 coming to grips with the deeply embedded historical legacy of racist structures and ideas. The recent protests and public reaction to George Floyd’s murder are a testament to many individu- als’ deep commitment to renewing the founding ideals of the republic. But there is another, more dangerous, side to this debate—one that seeks to rehabilitate toxic political notions of racial superiority, stokes fear of immigrants and minorities to inflame grievances for political ends, and attempts to build a notion of an embat- tled white majority which has to defend its power by any means necessary. These notions, once the preserve of fringe white nationalist groups, have increasingly infiltrated the mainstream of American political and cultural discussion, with poi- sonous results. For a starting point, one must look no further than President Donald Trump’s senior adviser for policy and chief speechwriter, Stephen Miller. In December 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch published a cache of more than 900 emails2 Miller wrote to his contacts at Breitbart News before the 2016 presidential election.

  • Defending the Indispensable: Allegations of Anti- Conservative Bias, Deep Fakes, and Extremist Content Don’T Justify Section 230 Reform
    Defending the Indispensable: Allegations of Anti- Conservative Bias, Deep Fakes, and Extremist Content Don’t Justify Section 230 Reform Matthew Feeney CSAS Working Paper 20-11 Should Internet Platform Companies Be Regulated – And If So, How? Defending the Indispensable: Allegations of Anti-Conservative Bias, Deep Fakes, and Extremist Content Don't Justify Section 230 Reform Matthew Feeney Director of the Cato Institute’s Project on Emerging Technologies Introduction When President Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 it’s unlikely he knew that he was signing a bill that included what has come to be called the “Magna Carta of the Internet.”1 After all, the law was hundreds of pages long, including seven titles dealing with broadcast services, local exchange carriers, and cable. The Internet as we know it didn’t exist in 1996. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was 11 years old, and two Stanford University PhD students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, had only just begun a project that would come to be known at Google. Some didn’t even think that the Internet would last, with Ethernet co-inventor Robert Metcalfe predicting in 1995 that “the internet will soon go supernova and in 1996 will catastrophically collapse.”2 The U.S. Supreme Court would rule much of Title V of the law, otherwise known as the Communications Decency Act, to be unconstitutional in 1997.3 However, a small provision of the law – Section 230 – survived.

  • The Justice in Policing Act of 2020 in the U.S
    June 23, 2020 Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House 1236 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Honorable Kevin McCarthy Republican Leader 2468 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: Since the killing of George Floyd just one month ago, our country has seen protests grow, attitudes shift, and calls for change intensify. We in the music and entertainment communities believe that Black lives matter and have long decried the injustices endured by generations of Black citizens. We are more determined than ever to push for federal, state, and local law enforcement programs that truly serve their communities. Accordingly, we are grateful for movement of the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 in the U.S. House of Representatives and urge its quick passage. The Justice in Policing Act is not about marginal change; it takes bold steps that will make a real, positive difference for law enforcement and the communities they serve. We celebrate the long- overdue rejection of qualified immunity, emphasizing that law enforcement officers themselves are not above the law – that bad cops must be held accountable and victims must have recourse. We applaud the provisions to ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants, to establish a national police misconduct registry, to collect data and improve investigations into police misconduct, to promote de-escalation practices, to establish comprehensive training programs, and to update and enhance standards and practices. This legislation will not only promote justice; it will establish a culture of responsibility, fairness, and respect deserving of the badge. Our communities and nation look to you to take a stand in this extraordinary moment and we respectfully ask that you vote YES on the Justice in Policing Act of 2020.

  • How Wall Street Supports Racist Politicians and Enables White Supremacy
    March 2019 BANKROLLING HATE: How Wall Street Supports Racist Politicians and Enables White Supremacy By Alyxandra Goodwin & Carrie Sloan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY White supremacy and white nationalism are ascendant in the Trump era,1 and many elected officials and candidates running for office have been emboldened to rip the mask of politeness off their racist, xenophobic, sexist, and homophobic ideologies.2 The finance industry is aiding and abetting the rise of violent white supremacy and nationalism by donating to the congressional campaigns of candidates who have expressed viciously racist, xenophobic, sexist, and homophobic views. Lobbying Groups Like the American Bankers Association Carry Water for Big Banks The financial sector—classified by the U.S. Census Bureau as finance, insurance, and real estate, or FIRE—is the largest donor to federal parties and candidates.3 Wall Street banks, like JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America, make their own donations but also rely on trade and lobbying groups, such as the American Bankers Association (ABA) and the American Financial Services Association (AFSA), to carry water for them. THE FOUL FOUR: The Intersection of Wall Street’s Deregulation Agenda and Overt White Supremacy In this report, we identify four particularly repugnant candidates whom Wall Street has financially supported in recent election cycles. We call these candidates the Foul Four. The four GOP candidates we highlight all ran for election or reelection in November 2018, with substantial support from Wall Street. The four have all embraced Trumpism, and their campaigns received significant backing from the finance industry generally and the ABA especially. Lou Barletta (R-PA), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Greg Gianforte (R-MT), and Steve King (R-IA) have voted in line with Trump between 80 and 99 percent of the time.4 All have cast votes that are anti-choice, anti-immigrant, or anti-Black, and each has aligned himself with or associated with known white supremacists or members of the racist so-called “alt-right”.

    Congress of the United States Washington D.C. 20515 April 29, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: As Congress continues to work on economic relief legislation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that you address the challenges faced by the U.S. scientific research workforce during this crisis. While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.

  • Sorry Not Sorry White Nationalism in the White House Katie Mchugh and Hassan Ahmad, Guests
    Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry White Nationalism in the White House Katie McHugh and Hassan Ahmad, guests Original Air Date March 2, 2020 **TRANSCRIPT** [00:00:08] Hi, I'm Alyssa Milano, and this is Sorry Not Sorry. Alyssa Milano [00:00:34] It's no secret that members of the Trump administration, up to and including Trump himself, are parroting the views of white nationalist and white extremist groups. These organizations are tied into alt-right media outlets like Breitbart and others where they spread this propaganda to the masses. [00:00:55] We're going to try something a little different today. I'll be joined by a guest co- host Hassan Ahmad is an immigration attorney and anti white-nationalist activist from Virginia. Hassan has been deeply involved in obtaining the archived writings of John Tanton, one of the men behind the current white nationalist movement in America. Hassan connected me with Katy McHugh. Katie is a former white nationalist who has renounced her views and is working hard to undo the damage she did when she held them. She's a former staffer for Breitbart and other alt-right media, where she was in constant correspondence with Stephen Miller at the Trump White House. She's exposed those emails and the deep ties of Miller into the white nationalist movement in America. Charlottesville alt-right Protestor [00:01:50] You will not replace us Reporter [00:02:07] Highmark sees overlap between Trump's message and white nationalist ideology. “He has shown us that the majority of everyday Americans support our sort of message.” White Nationalist [00:02:18] You know what? Yeah.

  • 2020 Election Recap
    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election.

  • Countering Election-Motivated Violent Extremism in 2020 and Beyond Adl’S Practical Guide for State and Local Governments
    COUNTERING ELECTION-MOTIVATED VIOLENT EXTREMISM IN 2020 AND BEYOND ADL’S PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Note: This document provides an overview of strategies and techniques to address and deter election-related violence, many of which involve a discussion of laws currently in place. However, it is not intended as legal guidance, and any decisions regarding application of the laws it references should be made in consultation with appropriate legal departments and advisors. 1 ADL’S PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2020 Presidential Election threatens to catalyze and exacerbate politically-motivated violent extremism already on the rise in the United States. The potential for violent conflict associated with the election is high, both during voting and in the weeks and months following Election Day. A number of the possible scenarios suggest that a contested election or narrow victory by either presidential candidate could lead to a constitutional and political crisis, which extremist groups could seek to exploit. Further, the direct encouragement of extremists from the President and its coverage and amplification by mainstream media outlets is already emboldening extremist groups like the Proud Boys to see the election as a flashpoint moment for them.1 Because states and localities administer elections and oversee state and local law enforcement, they must be ready with strategies to identify, prevent, and counter violent extremism associated with the 2020 election. They will grapple with this challenge in the run-up to Election Day, on Election Day, and likely for at least several weeks or even months following the election.
