Tech Companies Decide White Supremacists Should Wear Hoods—Which Could Make Them Harder to Track
Charlottesville, Va., will be etched into American history, but not, perhaps, only as the day a new generation of Ku Klux Klan members went maskless and white America finally called a white terrorist what he is. Textbooks might not only record it as when right-wing hatred roiled up from a maelstrom of racial tension to…

Tech Companies Are Driving White Supremacists Back to the Dark Ages Where They Belong
These Nazis are gonna learn that they’re being shut off from decent society, and they will have a very hard time finding people who support their dumb rhetoric online.

Look at This Neo-Nazi Snowflake Crying Like a Little Baby

Yes, Anti-Fascists Are Violent … and Necessary
When Donald Trump said in a press conference that “many sides” were responsible for the white supremacist melee in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday, he was right. Neo-Nazis have an entirely different belief system uniform than the Ku Klux Klan. The swastika is a totally different symbol from the Confederate flag. Skinheads shave off all of…

Charlottesville, Va., Is About Choosing Who We Want to Be as a Nation
A year ago I went to visit the farm, located east of Charlottesville, Va., where my grandmother’s grandfather Phil was born enslaved to the Parrish family.
