ADL: White supremacists are using banners to get their messages across

CNN)The banners have been hung from highway overpasses and rooftops in several states across the country.
They're not discreet. And their creators -- usually white supremacist groups who proudly put their name and logo on the banners -- are not mincing words or using euphemisms, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
"WHITE FAMILIES MATTER." "FOR RACE AND NATION." "'DIVERSITY' IS A CODE WORD FOR GENOCIDE." "UNjew HUMANITY."

These are just some of the anti-immigration, racist or anti-Semitic statements displayed on the banners, and the underlying message is clear: If you're nonwhite and were not born in America, these groups don't want you here.

It might be a good idea to have anti-fascist, anti-racist banners in my trunk in the case I see this in person.

wonder where this is a thing as the article mentions in cities out west and GA . Seems like two main orgs doing this.

I have seen anti abortion stuff over the highway out here and when it's in a big city like this, that's a big audience at the right time of day for a free ad
Also what is this (((...))) sign mean?

That’s how the fascists use it. They bracket a name or organization or idea they consider “Jewish.”

If they think that would make me scared, they are wrong. That is just a major trigger.
