Brooke Binkowski Report

Dan Feidt Facebook Post dated August 22, 2022

Brooke Binkowski wrote a report upon Dan Feidt's request, for Unicorn Riot titled "Eugenics, Border Wars & Population Control: The Tanton Network"., From a Unicorn Riot tweet promoting the article:

"Many of the USA's immigration laws, and the ideology of government officials enforcing them, are the product of a decades-long influence campaign working quietly to maintain a white majority ruling elite in the country"

Covers Alt-Right

The Columbia Journalism Review named Unicorn Riot members Wendy Parker, Pat Boyle, Niko Georgiades and Chris Schiano as members in November 2017 in a article by Baynard Woods, an adjunct writing professor at Johns Hopkins University. In the article Unicorn Riot was on their way to the infamous Charlottesville rally, where communists and white supremacist activists led by David Duke clashed.

Excerpt:

"Since its founding, Unicorn Riot has gained traction among people looking for alternative news sources, primarily by covering protests with the sort of on-the-ground perspectives many mainstream outlets miss.

[...]

"Unicorn Riot’s structure has enabled members to publish dozens of stories on the alt-right without turning their subjects into stars or even normalizing them. While other organizations wrote celebrity profiles that marveled at the sartorial sense of fashion-conscious fascists, Unicorn Riot revealed what the alt-right was talking about when they thought no one was listening.

Charlottesville wasn’t Unicorn Riot’s first experience with the racist right. In November 2015, when the collective covered the Minneapolis protests that followed the killing of Jamar Clark by police, two white supremacists went to the protest at a police precinct looking for “Unicorn.” On video that the two men filmed on the way to the protest, they showed a handgun (“We are locked and loaded”) and used racist language.

“Hey man, are you Unicorn?” one of the men asked Niko Georgiades, a member of the collective. When Georgiades said he was, the man exclaimed, “Dude, we found him!” Georgiades interviewed the men on camera about why they came to the protest.
