Despite over a hundred deadly acts by far-right militants since the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, and the far right’s attempts to obstruct transfer of power to a duly elected president on January 6, the FBI continues to deprioritize investigations into white supremacist violence, instead targeting marginalized groups such as environmentalists and Black Lives Matter. In 2005, for example, the FBI labeled eco-terrorists as the top domestic threat, despite not a single fatal attack in the United States. We spend this hour in conversation with author and former FBI agent Mike German about his research and insights into organized far-right extremism.
Our Resistance in Residence artist this week is Candace Johnson, a multi-hyphenated artist and creator of the solo show Scat-ter Brain, The Music of ADHD, playing July 19 – September 13 at San Francisco’s Marsh Theater as part of their POC Mental Health Awareness series.
