“FPÖ recruits have a measuring device they use to detect each other's racial purity. The pseudo-scientist examines the patient's facial features and side profile, always on the lookout for a dead-giveaway "Aryan bone," said to reside somewhere in the back of a superior man or woman's head.”

In Austria, young fascists are breaking out the calipers and trying to find "Aryan bones" in each other's skulls. And then at least some are getting jobs in parliament, employed by the far-right FPÖ, @derstandard.at reports. www.theredoubt.net/aryan-bones-...

In response to questions from @theredoubt.net, the State Department defended its use of U.S. tax dollars to subsidize right-wing content creators. "The Independent Journalism Consortium program closely aligns with the Trump administration's foreign policy objectives in Europe," a spokesperson said.

Final update for now with info on the most alarming part of the original statement of work, which asked the charter airline contractor to also help DHS establish foreign "detention centers" in "host countries." Will update if Eastern answers the f*cking question. gillianbrockell.com/breaking-eas...

I spoke to Heidi Beirich earlier this summer about how the Trump administration — which just arrested her — was inspiring Europe’s far right: www.theredoubt.net/how-america-...

How America emboldened Europe's far right

Heidi Beirich, an expert on right-wing extremism, says Donald Trump has emboldened those pushing for "remigration."

NEW: CNN is reporting as an "exclusive" that the former CFO of SPLC, Heidi Beirich, was arrested in California today. They have a quote from Blanche at a news conference and say this is "part of a superseding indictment," but the docket does not yet reflect the superseding indictment.

NEW: In 2016, ICE said officials would undergo training at the Museum of Tolerance, which helps visitors "understand the Holocaust in both historic and contemporary contexts." ICE now says it has replaced all such "experiential learning" — with LinkedIn. www.theredoubt.net/ice-ditches-...

ICE ditches in-person trainings on history and tolerance, opts for online courses from LinkedIn

The agency has scrapped "experiential learning" contracts with institutions like the Museum of Tolerance, which grounded its lessons in the history of the Holocaust.

A pro-democracy platform must demand records from all detention centers located in other countries. If US tax payers footed the bill, we should know how many people were detained, where, and when. The geography shouldn't matter. www.theredoubt.net/ice-detentio...

Exclusive: ICE eyes 1,000-bed detention facilities in foreign countries

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is looking for private contractors that could help set up "international staging areas" abroad.

ICE — the agency shooting and killing people across America — is now looking for contractors that could help build detention facilities around the world. Documents say these facilities (w/ up to 1,000 beds) would hold immigrants deported from the United States. www.theredoubt.net/ice-detentio...

Donald Trump is now talking about his enemies abroad the way he talks about his enemies (immigrants, people of color, Democrats) at home. My latest for @theredoubt.net on what that says about his lexicon and the way he views the world: www.theredoubt.net/sick-people-...

'Sick people': Trump now thinks the Iranian regime is no better than immigrants

A piece that beautifully captures how I have been feeling for a while now. I am constantly asked “Are you sorry you moved back to the USA” … as I found during Trump 1 you can feel ashamed of your country while living anywhere in the world.

I wrote about the smug hypocrisy of Stephen Miller, the pointless cruelty of Donald Trump, and the shame I feel at seeing America become a whites-only refuge. www.theredoubt.net/america-is-n...
