Twitter said it suspended dozens of accounts associated with the Identitarian movement, a white nationalist ideology whose adherents oppose multiculturalism in Europe. More than 50 accounts connected to the movement were suspended from the social media service Friday after the publication of a report about its proliferation on the platform, NBC News first reported Friday.(Snip) Identitarian groups including Generation Identity, which started in France and has spread across the Atlantic, are “rampant” on platforms such as Twitter, the report said, adding that adherents to the so-called “Great Replacement”—a conspiracy theory at the center of the ideology which essentially purports White are being replaced

St. Louis County, Mo.—While one mother is thanking an off-duty St. Louis sheriff’s deputy for saving her son’s life, another mother is wondering if he had to kill hers to do so. It happened Monday morning in north St. Louis County while a man and his grandson were waiting for their food in a McDonald’s drive-thru just before 7 a.m. Suddenly a man, later identified by police as William Burgess, 27, attacked them with a screwdriver as they sat in their truck, said Sara Buck, whose 10-year-old son and 67-year-old father were the victims.

The federal government has denied Gov. Tim Walz’s request for aid to help rebuild and repair Twin Cities structures that were damaged in the unrest following George Floyd’s death. Walz asked President Donald Trump to declare a “major disaster” for the state of Minnesota in his request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on July 2. More than 1,500 buildings were damaged by fires, looting and vandalism in the days of unrest that followed Floyd’s May 25 death in Minneapolis police custody, racking up more than $500 million in damages, according to Walz.(Snip) Many small businesses and grocery stores, pharmacies and

One day after announcing he had tested positive for coronavirus Jair Bolsonaro has come under fire for allegedly using homophobic language to mock the use of face masks. The Folha de São Paulo, a leading broadsheet, claimed Brazil’s far-right leader had baited presidential staff who were using protective masks, claiming such equipment was “coisa de viado” (a homophobic slur that roughly translates as “for fairies”).(Snip) In a 2013 interview with Stephen Fry–which the British actor later called “one of the most chilling confrontations I’ve ever had with a human being”–Bolsonaro alleged “homosexual fundamentalists” were brainwashing heterosexual children so they could “satisfy them

North Korean soldiers are feeling hare-ied by a recent request by military authorities to start breeding more rabbits—15 of them to be exact, according to a new report. The directive from the Ministry of People’s Armed Forces came down June 7 ordering soldiers and their families to raise more bunnies to eat, including some that are at least 7.7 pounds, Daily NK reported. The military’s politiburo, the General Political Bureau, is billing the new order as a way to boost the country’s meat supply in an inexpensive way—as part of Kim Jong Un’s order to raise more grass-eating animals.

Police investigating racist messages left on a Texas A&M student’s car in June say all available evidence points to it being a hoax.
School officials offered a $1,200 reward on June 25 for any evidence that identified the person who wrote “All lives matter, “You don’t belong here,” and “n—r” messages before leaving them on senior Isaih Martin’s windshield.
A College Station cop who watched surveillance footage from a nearby pool camera say that what they witnessed implicated Mr. Martin himself as the culprit. “Martin immediately walks to the passenger side of his vehicle, but does not open any doors,”

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the prominent conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, recently denounced a DC-area Black Lives Matter banner. Black Lives Matter is a “Trojan Horse” for “mob rule” and “cultural revolution,” Ginni Thomas wrote in a June 24 email to Clifton, Virginia, officials, the Washington Post reports.(Snip) “BLM is a bit of a dangerous Trojan Horse and they are catching well-meaning people into dangerous posturing that can invite mob rule and property looting,” Ginni Thomas wrote in her email. “Let’s not be tricked into joining cause with radical extremists seeking to foment a cultural revolution because they hate America.”

Colin Powell criticized President Trump on Thursday for opposing efforts to rename monuments to Confederate leaders who fought against the U.S. in the Civil War. The retired four-star Army general and former statesman called Mr. Trump “intolerant” for rejecting calls to rename American military bases that currently honor Confederate leaders.(Snip) “They were not great Americans. They were great members perhaps, tactically, of the Confederate States of America, but they were no longer Americans at that point,” he added. Calls to remove monuments to the former Confederacy and its slave-holding leaders rekindled following the racially charged killing of George Floyd

Dukes of Hazzard co-stars John Schneider and Tom Wopat addressed the long-time controversy over the show's iconic General Lee car, saying political correctness has gone too far as protests mount over the Confederate flag that the famed vehicle features prominently on its roof. Both stars defended the customized 1969 Dodge Charger used in the hit action and comedy show about cousins Bo and Luke Duke, former moonshiners who live in rural Georgia.(Snip) 'I have never had an African American come up to me and have any problem with it whatsoever,' Schneider, 60, who played Bo on the program told the Hollywood Reporter.

Martinez, Calif.—More racial tension is coming out of the East Bay City of Martinez where the words, "White Lives Matter" were painted on a roadway.
It happened either late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. The City of Martinez actually took action by covering the words, which could be seen in the 900 block of Howe Road.(Snip) When word got around town about what had been painted groups of people showed up and at least one started to cover over the words, "That's right we're not gonna tolerate this in our neighborhood, we're not gonna take this kinda hate," said Christensen.

Homicides in Memphis are up more than 30% percent compared to this time last year. While the number is alarming, a different statistic is even more brutal—18 children and teens have been killed in 2020. So far this year, 120 Memphians have been killed in unjustifiable homicides, up from 92 at the same point last year, per city data. Officials in Memphis begged the public Wednesday for both information and further community involvement in measures like neighborhood watches and community programming.(Snip) Of the 18 children and teens killed this year, 14 were murdered and three were killed in accidental shootings.

More than 100 lawmakers are urging the U.S. Department of Defense to immediately end the military ban on transgender troops put in place by the Trump administration in 2019. On Wednesday, Rep. Suzan DelBene, a Democrat from Washington, joined by 116 members of Congress, signed a letter addressed to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Attorney General William Barr calling to the end of the policy, which they called “an attack on transgender service members who are risking their lives to serve our country.” The move comes just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

The article just below says the company is handing over $400 million to non-WHITE businesses. This should be a great comfort to those soon to be unemployed.
