This assessment is spot on based on recent years where I’ve encountered researchers being told to find Antifa and met law enforcement making warnings/fears about Antifa without being able to name a single member or incident of Antifa in their jurisdiction https://t.co/dUTGqheUpp

Right-wing extremists – the boogaloo movement
This is a real problem. This is not a made up problem like antifa.
The far-right boogaloo movement is growing online at breakneck speed. But Trump isn’t interested in terrorists of the far-right variety — no matter how many Americans they kill or maim, writes @mehdirhasan. https://t.co/UZiFyarMFg

THREAD: TTP identified multiple boogaloo Facebook groups that organize the exact same way described here, yet they remain active.
— Tech Transparency Project (@TTP_updates) June 7, 2020
Facebook has failed to remove these groups or even moderate content like bomb-making instructions (still active today)
Why is that, @brianfishman? https://t.co/tCnom3rUxO
A Las Vegas man accused of conspiring in a plot to incite violence at a Black Lives Matter rally as part of a “Boogaloo” plot is being investigated for alleged child sex abuse https://t.co/qRh7EJsQlE
