What Happened After My 13-Year-Old Son Joined the Alt-Right
When my son Sam,* who was then 14, asked me to take him to the Mother of All Rallies on the Mall in September 2017, I said no. The pro-Trump event was billed as a demonstration to preserve “traditional American culture,” and white supremacists were expected to show up in force. Not only was this not how I wanted to spend a Saturday—like almost everyone I knew, I’d been devastated by the 2016 election results—but I had serious concerns about safety. At Charlottesville’s Unite the Right rally only a month earlier, a neo-Nazi had killed counterprotester Heather Heyer.

Before the group imploded amid a domestic violence case last month, the neo-Nazi Traditionalist Worker Party was bickering with former allies, and besieged by anti-fascist protesters, leaked chat logs reveal. The logs, obtained by the nonprofit media collective Unicorn Riot and published in full online, reveal more than a year of the hate group’s communications on the chat platform Discord.

Papa John's has now been forced to tell racists not to eat its pizza
It’s never a good day in the life of an online brand when its PR spokesperson is forced to craft a statement ordering racists to stop eating or enjoying its pizza. And yet, thanks to a confluence of NFL protests, “alt-right” manipulation, and a bunch of boneheaded comments from its founder, low-rent pizza chain Papa John’s has now been forced to do exactly that.

Papa John's is now the official alt-right pizza, according to neo-Nazis
Neo-Nazis and white supremacists have always been distasteful, but now it turns out their taste in pizza is terrible, too.

Matt Furie's lawyers have made good on their promise to pursue legal action against alt-righters profiting from his now-infamous creation, Pepe the Frog. On Tuesday, his lawyers sued Kansas City artist Jessica Logsdon in US District Court for the Western District of Missouri.

Furie's law firm, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, hit Logsdon and others with cease and desist orders and DMCA takedowns last month in a series...

The social media thrust of the “alt-right” is characterised by two approaches. One is the mobilisation of humour – sometimes laconic, sometimes sociopathic. The other is the resurrection and re-engineering of original imagery from the Third Reich.
