The government is resuming its prosecution of four members of the violent white supremacist group Rise Above Movement, although two of the defendants, including co-founder Robert Rundo, have apparently disappeared.

Rundo and fellow Rise Above Movement members Robert Boman, Aaron Eason and Tyler Laube were indicted on federal charges of conspiracy to violate the Anti-Riot Act in California in November 2018, but a federal judge dismissed the indictment finding that provisions of the law unconstitutionally violated the First Amendment. A panel of appellate judges reversed the lower court decision in March 2021, and remanded the case back to the district court in the Central District of California.

An adherent of "Boogaloo" — an anti-government movement that fetishize firearms and embraces civil war — was arrested on Thursday evening outside the entrance of the Hagerstown Speedway serving as a base camp for the group of truckers that has been making daily forays into Washington, DC to protest COVID restrictions for the past three weeks.

Brandon Glen Jackson, 28, is charged with two misdemeanor charges for carrying a loaded handgun, according to Maryland court records. He made an initial appearance in Washington County district court on Friday, and is currently being held pending a bond hearing scheduled for Monday afternoon.

Conservative activist and former Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin played a key role in launching conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems into the mainstream, where they became the basis of Donald Trump's "big lie" about his election loss, according to a new lawsuit.

Court documents from a defamation lawsuit filed by former Dominion election security officer Eric Coomer against Malkin, the Trump campaign, conservative media outlets One America News and Newsmax, and nearly a dozen other parties show that Malkin first highlighted false claims about vote-switching on her YouTube channel.

All eyes have been on Senate hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the president’s nominee for the next justice of the Supreme Court. The Republicans can’t stop the ascent of the appeals court judge. The math is against them. But even so, we’re going to have the same problem.

A Supreme Court supermajority gone rogue.

Two members of an accelerationist neo-Nazi terror network accused of plotting to attack the power grid in preparation for an assassination campaign have pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the government’s prosecution.

Paul James Kryscuk, a former porn actor who used the alias “Deacon” while active in the neo-Nazi group BSN from 2017 through 2020, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to damage an energy facility on Feb. 10, with the possibility of receiving a reduction from a 15-year prison sentence in exchange for “substantial assistance” in the government’s prosecution in the case.

Residents of tree-lined residential neighborhoods in Washington, DC were bombarded by tractor-trailer air horns and rants about the coronavirus pandemic as a small trucker convoy drove through the city on Saturday.

Sarah Burris, a Raw Story senior editor, attended the noisy protest that seemed to have a half-dozen semi-trucks and another dozen passenger vehicles.

That’s the view of Howard Schweber, a national expert in American constitutional law and politics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In an exclusive Raw Story interview, Schweber said former President Donald Trump has placed the party in a bind.

“We are in a strange territory because Donald Trump has already divided the Republican Party to a very significant extent, Schweber said. “By going around endorsing candidates against sitting Republicans or others backed by the state Republican parties, he’s essentially promoting a sort of insurgency within the party.”

The government sharpened its case against Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, arguing in a memo in support of pretrial detention on Monday that he “imposed a command-and-control structure” on a newly created “national rally planning” chapter set up to carry out the attack.

Tarrio, who was the national chairman of the Proud Boys at the time of the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol, went before a federal judge in Miami for a detention and removal hearing on Tuesday morning. At the hearing’s conclusion, Magistrate Judge Lauren F. Louis ordered Tarrio to remain jailed while awaiting arraignment on his charges in the District of Columbia.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for decades, you’ve probably noticed that conservatives hate California. It’s an obsession.

Donald Trump’s disdain for the state is well known. But conservative anti-California hatred goes far beyond the ex-occupant of the Oval Office.

This week everyone is talking about the sovereignty of nations. Everyone is standing with Ukraine and horrified by Putin, because Ukraine is a sovereign independent nation and the Russian army invaded for no reason.

There have been a lot of jokes that Putin’s justifications of the invasion are the same as if Mexico invaded the United States because it used to control Texas. These jokes highlight how ridiculous Putin’s claims are. They point out that you cannot invade another country because the land used to be part of your country.

I had a meeting with some colleagues about a month ago. We were in a leadership program discussing a video about dealing with differences.

In my mind, working on autopilot, I assumed the differences were racial and ethnic. I said, somewhat offhandedly, that since our state is now run by a Republican, diversity may be de-emphasized.

After Joe Biden won the election, and after the White House began pushing passage of the nearly $2 trillion American Jobs Plan, there was a lot of talk about the new president being the next Franklin Roosevelt.

I wanted to believe it, but being the skeptic that I am, I figured this was more propaganda than genuine belief by the 46th president. But after watching an interview with historian Heather Cox Richardson, it seems these are not mere words. Biden really sees history pivoting.
