A profile of RAM, a white supremacist street-fighting club that's been attending many of the right-wing rallies around the country lately.

"Kiyoshi Kuromiya, born in a Japanese American internment camp in 1943 in Heart Mountain, Wyoming, was a prominent underground civil rights figure and gay rights activist. Kuromiya worked closely with Martin Luther King Jr. in the mid-sixties and tending to King’s children in the aftermath of his assassination. He was a founder of Gay Liberation Front –Philadelphia, worked with the Black Panther Party to advocate for gay rights, co-authored a book on a utopian future through technology with Buckminster Fuller, and was a leading pioneer in the fight to promote AIDS awareness after his own diagnosis later in life."

An interview with Bill Greenshields.

I enjoyed this interview with Selma James (from 2012).

I've been watching these protests on the http://reb.tv livestream.

"[Drew Burbridge] was separated from his wife, Jennifer, who alleged that she was taunted by officers who asked her if she 'liked' watching her husband being beaten and told her 'Come back tomorrow and we can do this again.'"

BuzzFeed gained access to a bunch of Milo Yiannopoulos's emails which give insight into how the Milo/Breitbart machine worked.

This is the best article I've read so far about the burgeoning alliance between leftist groups and the Juggalo family.

Hans Bohm was a preacher who incited a peasant revolt in May 1476. I hope to read the book Peasant Fires some day (https://muse.jhu.edu/book/38014).

TIL about pedestrianism, a precursor to today's ultramarathon and competitive long-distance hiking.

If you want riots, wear your riot gear
If you want violence, then shoot your tear gas in the air

Good interview with Mark Bray on Democracy Now! in which he does the important work of correcting the liberal media's pronunciation of antifa (seriously, while I'm sure there's a lot of regional variation in pronunciation, every time I hear anTEEfa I can't help but think the speaker is an uninformed pundit (like "Black Block Anarchist" after Seattle '99). Amy Goodman even changed her pronunciation at the end of the clip, because she's a pro).

Part 2 is here: https://www.democracynow.org/2017/8/16/part_2_antifa_a_look_at

He also has an article up on the WaPo website called "Who are the antifa?": https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2017/08/16/who-are-the-antifa/

Good footage of the racist march and rally in Charlottesville, includes interviews with Christopher Cantwell and some of the other Fascists involved.

"Asked by a reporter in New Jersey whether he wanted the support of white nationalists, dozens of whom wore red Make America Great Again hats during the Charlottesville riots, Trump did not respond."

"One of the most common tropes in US media is that the US military always goes to war reluctantly—and, if there are negative consequences, like civilian deaths, it’s simply a matter of bumbling around without much plan or purpose."

"Egalitarian communities are groups of people who have chosen to live together, with egalitarianism as one of their core values."

Some guy's experience with debt and a debt consolidation company.

This episode of Wisecrack's 8-Bit Philosophy tries to distinguish between haters and real cynics.

Redneck Revolt got some coverage in the Guardian:

"Redneck Revolt is a nationwide organization of armed political activists from rural, working-class backgrounds who strive to reclaim the term “redneck” and promote active anti-racism. It is not an exclusively white group, though it does take a special interest in the particular travails of the white poor. The organization’s principles are distinctly left-wing: against white supremacy, against capitalism and the nation-state, in support of the marginalized."

Someone transcribed the episode of Lasagna Cat which is over an hour of analysis of The Pipe Strip, a single 3-panel Garfield comic.
