Prominent far-right influencers have been attempting to rehabilitate Hitler's reputation. That's not an exaggeration; it's easily documented. I wrote about why they are doing this, what they hope to gain, and what it means for America.

Trump's massive raid on the Hyundai plant in Georgia is huge news all around the world. But in the US it's barely even reported, much less discussed and explained. Something fundamentally wrong with US media.

A group called Return to the Land has established two "whites-only communities" in Arkansas, with plans for four more sites in the Ozarks and Appalachia. The creation of white ‘ethnostates’ is the ultimate goal of some white nationalists, a scholar of right-wing extremism explains:
An Arkansas group’s effort to build a white ethnostate forms part of a wider US movement inspired by white supremacy
Several white nationalist groups such as Return to the Land have attempted to establish all-white communities across the country.
