This is a compelling and timely longread from @patrickobrienstrickland.com and @inkstickmedia.com. Worth every minute, and then some: inkstickmedia.com/the-sedition...
Insanely good writing by @patrickobrienstrickland.com that I’m proud to have helped contribute to.
Famulous #longread by @patrickobrienstrickland.com over at @inkstickmedia.com about Louis Beam, the Klansman and neo-Nazi, and the growth of violent white nationalism we are still dealing with the ramifications of over four decades later.
With many recommendations for additional reading and resources here:
At @inkstickmedia.com, I wrote about Louis Beam, American fascism, and the ways he helped pioneer and shape the far-right violence we're all living through today:
"The more stunts Beam pulled, the more alarmingly broad the Klan’s reach became. Toward the end of the decade, Beam and Duke hatched another plan: They would recruit active US military members into the Knights of the KKK."
For @inkstickmedia.com, I wrote about Israeli settler violence, its very long history, and some of what I saw and learned of it during the four years I spent reporting in the occupied West Bank.
"Israeli settler violence is not new. In fact, from a campaign of bombings targeting Palestinian mayors in the 1980s to the arsons and deadly shootings of recent years, hardline settlers have carried out this violence against the backdrop of decades of impunity." By: @patrickobrienstrickland.com

An important one by @abujamajem.com: "If the US is going to rejoin the international community after Trump — not remain some rogue aggressor — it needs to re-commit to respect for basic sovereignty."
