In season 1 of Inform Your Resistance, we talked to Alex Amend on the ecofascist movement and its anti-immigrant stance. “The ecofascist vision, it's inextricable between the health of the White race and the health of the environment,” says Amend: politicalresearch.org/2023/11/16/d...

“The ecofascist vision, it's inextricable between the health of the White race and the health of the environment. And the threats to those are people of color coming from other parts of the country here in the United States, context, the American context
.And so, at the very Far Right, that is the vision. There's an overlap there. There's no distinction between the health of the race and the health of the environment.”

”Sheriffs and their offices play a key role in maintaining and advancing mass incarceration, mass deportation, and White supremacy.” In this 101, PRA’s Ethan FaurĂ© gives an overview of the organizations and people pushing the far-right sheriff movement. politicalresearch.org/2022/07/29/1....

Far-Right Sheriffs and The Anti-immigrant movement FROM 101:Far-Right Sheriffs BY Ethan Fauré
Anti-immigrant organizations like the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the Immigration Reform Law Institute, Center for Immigration Studies, and NumbersUSA were created or nurtured by White nationalist John Tanton.
These organizations are: influencing federal immigration policy through legislation and media; coordinating with sheriffs sympathetic to their draconian policy ideals by leveraging the sheriffs’ position as local elected officials to erroneously suggest popular support for their agenda; actively lobbying other sheriffs; and coordinating with sheriffs’ associations to organize national conferences, border tours, and other events with the goal of expanding the system of mass deportation’s reach in local communities.

Credit: United States Senate In a dizzying inversion in today’s United States and elsewhere, neo-McCarthyism is pursued in the name of protecting Jews from antisemitism—and in truth it does nothing to keep Jews safe. Quite the opposite in fact. In many cases, neo-McCarthyism singles out progressive Jews for state repression.
On a basic level, this Neo-McCarthyist assault endangers Jews because it endangers multiracial, pluralist democracy. Today’s campaigns to stifle free speech and debilitate progressive infrastructure play directly into the Far Right’s strategy to roll back democracy and cement authoritarian rule.

When the antisemitic Right holds close its figural Jews as fetishized objects of protection, it helps isolate actual Jewish communities from the powerful relationships we could build to collectively challenge the White Christian nationalist, authoritarian, and anti-democratic forces that threaten all marginalized communities.

Bunny McKensie Mack examines how the Far Right leverages AI to spread disinformation and consolidate power, and the possible impact of a AI-Enabled Far Right on global elections. Read their full article at politicalresearch.org/2024/09/04/o....

Platform algorithms on popular sites like YouTube and Facebook drive users toward, for example, more White supremacist, antisemitic, and/or fascist content over time, leading them to develop far-right political views. When algorithmic radicalization is combined with access to AI tools ... we see an increase in an existing issue: the largely unregulated monetization of voter disinformation across social media platforms. algorithmic radicalization
