Beating back the far right globally
It’s time to resurrect a global anti-fascist consensus to name, shame, and throw these guys out of the game.
After four years of shock, confusion, and paralysis, the United States is finally taking action against the far right.
Perhaps most dramatic has been the deplatforming of Donald Trump: the suspension of his Twitter and Facebook accounts and the targeting of his prominent followers across social media platforms. Even a few months ago, such a radically sensible action would have been inconceivable. Kick a
president off of social media?
But such are the indignities visited upon sore losers. Not surprisingly, these moves have significantly decreased the amount of misinformation in the public sphere and made it that much more difficult for white nationalists to organize actions.

A former Sacramento Republican leader charged in the storming of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month is heading back to Washington D.C.
Jorge Riley made his first appearance in Sacramento federal court yesterday, and Judge Carolyn K. Delaney ordered him to be transported to Washington D.C. on three charges related to the siege. Riley resigned from his position as a local Republican leader within the California Republican Assembly after a video of him admitting his actions was shared on social media. A California Republican Assembly spokesperson said he believes anyone who participates in violence like that should be prosecuted.
