In February, a man drove cross-country with a cache of weapons to a major Nevada-area power plant. His apparent attack failed, and he killed himself. He had literature popular with neo-Nazis, and his target had circulated in guides in the movement. Latest at SPLC: www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man? Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

Why do they all talk about bland restaurant chains changing logos like they're Winston Churchill standing before Parliament in May 1940? It's a little unbecoming.

I've worked on the far-right beat for nearly 10 years now, and I've had to handle sorting through a lot of misinformation on politically motivated violence. And this is by far the worst instance of it, including from a lot of people who should really know better.

New York elected a socialist mayor and the Knicks won the championship, but nice try.

This is so beautiful.

The most complex piece I’ve done to date. 19 hours and 40+ layers of work. For an anonymous client on Discord ❤️ 

Dedicated to Charlie.

Thanks for all the support on this! I went to sleep and this went crazy viral! To all the lefties who think this is satire: why would I spend hours and hours on a detailed piece? If it looked like AI slop I’d get it but this is genuine. A big thank you to the client for giving me a challenge to help me with my skills! Also for being so patient for this piece ❤️

God bless you! And to the people trying to edit my artwork, you’re gross.

I, along with two colleagues, wrote about the extremist influencers who have profited off of—and in some cases, seemingly try to guide—Trump's second administration. They were, in some ways, the real winners (pejorative) of 2025. Latest for @splcenter.org: www.splcenter.org/resources/re...

I talked to @byjordangreen.bsky.social why Candace Owens traveling to Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is, in fact, bad.

Andrew Tate and his brother are in Russia. They haven't said why, but it coincides with the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Candace Owens, another Western far-right activist, is a confirmed speaker at the forum. www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/06/02/m...
