Before a law enforcement crackdown hobbled it in 2021, the Base established itself as one of the most active neo-Nazi accelerationist groups — a term for groups that seek to hasten societal collapse by violent means.

Now the Base has rebuilt, to the extent that last year it earned a spot on the European Union list of sanctioned terrorist groups.

A sudden burst of activity in Ukraine has renewed suspicions that the Base and its leader, Rinaldo Nazzaro, are linked to Russian intelligence and security services. ...

When Natalie Rupnow and Solomon Henderson, two teenagers separated by more than 500 miles, carried out school shootings in late 2024 and early 2025, they were linked by a global online network that encouraged obsession with mass murder.

In a violent subculture in which the vast majority of mass shooters are white males, the two were unlikely candidates for infamy. Rupnow was a teenage girl. Henderson was Black.

But the communities that nurtured them on their paths to violence offered ironic memes and terrorist manuals promoting white supremacy, violent misogyny and homophobia. ...

A far-right Pennsylvania activist and podcaster has suggested Donald Trump should be executed and FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino tortured, in both cases for failing to provide evidence in support of antisemitic conspiracy theories.

“Donald Trump, along with every other president since John F. Kennedy, is a traitor to their country,” Matthew Wakulik wrote on X last month. “This is just another example of why 95% of all federal government employees should be tried for treason and given the maximum penalty.”

Wakulik was angered by Trump’s failure to declassify government files on the Israeli military’s 1967 attack on a U.S. Navy ship, the USS Liberty, which was determined to have been a mistake....

U.S. officials who specialize in terrorism prevention are bracing for their office to be eliminated or broken up as the State Department readies to root out what Secretary Marco Rubio calls a “radical political ideology” embedded in a “sprawling bureaucracy.”

The plan to eliminate the Office of Countering Violent Extremism (CVE), along with offices that further human rights and prevent war crimes, was first reported by the Free Press. Rubio appeared to confirm the reporting, sharing a link and describing “the real exclusive on how we’re making the State Department Great Again.”

“I don’t know what the plans are, and I’m not sure that the department or Secretary Rubio knows,” Ian Moss, a former counterterrorism official, told Raw Story. “But to dilute the concerted efforts by the office and push it out to other parts of the department will have real fundamental impact on our ability to engage in thoughtful preventive action. And it will ultimately make us less safe.”...

Reporter Elle Reeve, known for her deep dive into issues of white supremacy for Vice and CNN, wrote in a new article Monday that her childhood experience with a stalker armed her to handle fascists in today's political climate.

Reeve's article for Slate detailed how she learned to handle "evil" after years of dealing with her next-door neighbor, an angry man who stalked and harassed her family for years.

"I spent my entire teenage years at war," she wrote. "Not a real war, but a psychological war, followed by a legal one. It did not have a happy ending. At the time, when explaining it to my high school friends, I referred to the situation as “my evil neighbor.” Decades later, I understand what happened: My family had a stalker."...

In an interview Thursday with Raw Story, a Missouri gubernatorial candidate with alleged ties to the Ku Klux Klan blasted the Missouri GOP for attempting to remove him from the ballot.

“The GOP knew exactly who I am,” Darrell Leon McClanahan III told Raw Story via text message after a brief phone interview. “They’re just mad my daughter drew number 22 making me number one on the ballot they’re a bunch of hypocrites.”

McClanahan’s lucky ballot position draw placed him at the top of the Republican candidate list for Missouri governor, prompting a state senator to urge the Missouri Republican Party to remove him from the ballot. ...
