					THE WEEK'S BIG 3

					Newer strains of far-right movements fueled by conspiracy theories, misogyny and anti-vaccine proponents contributed to a rise in killings by domestic extremists in the United States last year, according to a report released by ADL. The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating after a Jewish man was reportedly punched in the face Friday, marking the second weekend in a row the task force was investigating incidents against members of the Jewish community. Antisemitic fliers were once again found in neighborhoods from Austin, TX to Vancouver, WA over the weekend – the latest in a series of fliering events by white supremacist groups.
