Re "stand back and standby," people who work in monitoring and de-radicalization and otherwise studying white power groups are sounding red alerts and sending emergency signals about increasing violence from now through the election, and after, regardless of winner.

(2) this is a movement that has sought not only poll intimidation--although it has done that--but also major mass casualties. There is no reason to think that strategy will change.

(3) we are talking about the movement responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing, the largest deliberate mass casualty on American soil between Pearl Harbor and 9/11 (yet we don't remember it was the work of a movement)

(4) And even though we don't remember, this is a movement that has been using online social network activism since 1983/84, that has repeatedly targeted people and infrastructure, that has continued largely un-confronted

(5) we are decades, if not generations, into this problem. A green light like "stand back and standby" is catastrophic.

(6) Please listen to the whistleblowers like @NeuSummits who are leaving DHS after sounding the alarm about white power violence. Please. And please be safe out there, because the next step is mass casualty targets.

(7) as always, if you would like to read about the history of all this, check out Bring the War Home...other books coming out soon about what happens after 1996

(8) Spoiler: it's bad!
