On May 7, France will vote in a runoff election between far-right Islamophobic Holocaust revisionist Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron, a 39-year-old business-friendly centrist who served as economy minister in President Hollande’s astoundingly unpopular administration.
Texas A&M University is making changes to its policy governing who can speak on campus after a December 2016 visit by the imminently punchable white supremacist Richard Spencer caused a mild uproar.
As you may or may not know, I have a thing for early Volkswagens. I’m also aware of how problematic that is, what with all the Nazi history. That may not have been as much of a problem for Jesse James, who may find the Nazi associations a bit more of a plus than most people. Regardless, the car he’s selling on eBay…
In the wake of the widespread reports of bomb threats and incidents of vandalism enacted upon Jewish community centers and cemeteries, the Department of Homeland Security has offered their assistance and support.
On Monday, bomb threats were called into Jewish schools and JCCs in 11 states, including Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia. On Sunday, 100 headstones were damaged in a Philadelphia Jewish cemetery, just a week after the same thing…
Yesterday, besuited Nazi Richard Spencer got kicked out of CPAC for his “repugnant” views, which a CPAC spokesman claimed have “nothing to do with conservatism or what we do here.” Shortly prior to this, Spencer called a heckler “a moron who can’t dress.” Can Richard Spencer dress, though? Seems like maybe not?
On Sunday afternoon, the telephone of Nazi Germany leader Adolf Hitler was purchased at auction for $243,000. It’s unclear why someone would covet an item once in intimate proximity to undiluted evil. Rich tapestries, I guess.
Bad timing for a love story about Nazi Germany.
He Will Not Divide Us, an anti-Trump performance art project created by Shia Labeouf with the Museum of the Moving Image, was shut down by the museum on Friday due to “a serious and ongoing public safety hazard.” The project became overrun by trolls and white supremacists (Labeouf was recently charged with assault…
Solidarity, let alone eye contact, isn’t easy to come by on the New York City subway, but on Saturday night, according to a Facebook post by 27-year-old lawyer Gregory Locke that’s gone viral, New Yorkers worked together to scrub swastikas and slurs from the walls of a train car.
Reuters reports that the Trump administration is planning to reframe CVE, or the “Countering Violent Extremism” program, to solely focus on Islamist extremism. According to sources briefed on the matter, this means that the program would no longer target, say, white supremacists, another victory in a long series of…
Days after a Texas mosque was destroyed in a fire and a right-wing Internet troll murdered six worshipers at a Quebec mosque, at least 17 Jewish Community Centers across the U.S. have been targeted with bomb threats and evacuated, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports. This is the third wave of such threats to Jewish…
You may have seen the footage of white supremacist helmsman Richard Spencer getting punched in the head. Perhaps you have even watched the video multiple times, taking solace in that fleeting, blissful moment of justice—Jezebel does not endorse violence of any kind—in the midst of so much panic and sorrow. If so, you…
Holocaust researchers excavating Sobibor, a Nazi death camp in eastern Poland, have unearthed a pendant that may be linked to diarist Anne Frank.
A while back, I wrote about the very conflicting story of Violette Morris, a cyclecar racer in the 1920s who was so insanely hardcore she had her breasts removed so she could fit into her cramped race cars better. She’s a fascinating person, but also something of a monster who ended up murdering people for the…
Earlier this week, Sherry Spencer, the mother of white supremacist headline-getter Richard Spencer, said her businesses in the town of Whitefish, Montana, are being targeted because of her son’s beliefs. As one of our readers discovered, Sherry says something slightly different when you try to rent out a vacation…
In the ten days following the election of Donald Trump, the Southern Poverty Law Center has found, there were at least 867 separate incidents of reported harassment and intimidation, most of which (505 incidents) took place in the three days subsequent to November 8th. The number of reported incidents has declined…
This weekend, members of the so-called “alt-right” movement gathered in Washington, D.C., to celebrate Donald Trump’s electoral victory and their ascendance as the “intellectual vanguard” of the Trumpist movement. Media coverage of the event has largely focused on their appearance and struggled to find the vocabulary…
Kanye West has been hard to love lately, what with his troll-like embrace of precisely the people his fans are bound to hate (Bill Cosby….Donald Trump??!). Now he is branching out by denigrating the one person you do not dare slander, I don’t care who you are: Beyoncé.
