    Goldfarb in Reno

    Everyone knows the Dreidel Song: I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay, and when it's dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play. Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay, oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, then dreidel I shall play. Not too many people, though, know that Samuel E.…

  • No Justice, No Peace

    Jason Bean / Reno-Gazette Journal Why is anyone surprised there is violence? Our government is genocidal. Meat-packing plants that do not protect their poor and POC workforce from a deadly virus are required to stay open while billionaires are not required to do anything. Why aren't hotels requisitioned for the homeless? Instead, they're put in…

  • Neo-Nazi leaflets in Reno again

    Daily Stormer, a nationally prominent neo-Nazi organization, has an active subgroup in Reno, Nevada, formed (according to entries on Gab) about a year ago.  Subgroups are called Stormer Book Clubs.  The local Reno group has leafleted Reno as part of two prior national leafleting campaigns organized by the national organization.  Local residents are aware of…
