Trump’s pick for top diplomatic role faces scrutiny over ‘white supremacist’ views Jeremy Carl, assistant secretary of state nominee, has espoused ‘racist, antisemitic’ views, says non-profit leader

“He has written books about a white genocide and how anti-white racism is going to ruin American democracy. He has called the Civil Rights Act of 1964 an ‘anti-white weapon’” plus “an apparent call for the ‘Jewish question’ to be addressed.”

Very curious to hear Patrick Healy explain the difference between this scandal, where Jordan Lasker and other racists stole personal information from minors and publicized it, and the time the Times collaborated with Jordan Lasker and other racists to publicize a minor's stolen personal information

With deep sadness, I have to share the news that IREHR’s founder, Leonard Zeskind, passed away Tues morning at his home in Kansas City.

He was a righteous intellectual/organizer, a role model and mentor, and an anti-fascist way before it was cool. He will be greatly missed.
