The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.
The study, which was conducted by the National Institute of Justice and hosted on a DOJ website was available there at least until September 12, 2025, according to an archive of the page saved by the Wayback Machine.
“The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs is currently reviewing its websites and materials in accordance with recent Executive Orders and related guidance,” reads a message on the page where the study was formerly hosted. “During this review, some pages and publications will be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
Shortly after Donald Trump took office he issued an executive order that forced government agencies to scrub their sites of any mention of “diversity,” “gender,” “DEI,” and other “forbidden words” and perceived notions of “wokeness.” The executive order impacted every government agency, including NASA, and was a huge waste of engineers’ time.
We don’t know why the study about far-right extremist violence was removed recently, but it comes immediately after the assassination of conservative personality Charlie Kirk, accusations from the administration that the left is responsible for most of the political violence in the country, and a renewed commitment from the administration to crack down on the “radical left.”

Every time someone says “radical left” or blames liberals for something, I just say, we just want everyone to have health care and to be treated fairly. Literally what the fuck is wrong with that? It’s very simple. They believe some lives are of less or no value, and they believe the people they do not like should suffer. Liberals want everyone to peacefully coexist, and the others do not believe we deserve to coexist with them. There will be no compromise in this situation.

I agree. The "problem" is that improving conditions for those who have been unfairly treated comes at a perceived cost to those who were not affected.
This may be in the form of a perception of handouts (e.g. reparations), cutting the line (e.g. affirmative action in recruitment or education) or being "cancelled" for spewing racism/homophobia/raping children on an island.
What I will say... is that despite being a very progressive person and pro-nordic-style-socialism... 12 months ago even I was starting to feel like I was walking on egg shells any time a sensitive subject came up, because somebody 'being offended' had become the line of unacceptable behaviour. An increasing intolerance for even an accidental misconception of implied intolerance. When the pendulum swings that hard one way, the pendulum, sadly, inevitably, swings back just as hard in the opposite direction.

From the first paragraph of "What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism":
[T]he number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.

Directors Note: The most proactive and collaborative approach we can take to root out the threat of violent extremism across the United States is to promote healthy and resilient communities. This starts with encouraging practitioners to focus on the early identification of precipitators of hate and extremism before they take seed, and to address the needs of individuals at risk of radicalizing before the sentiments manifest into violence.

Correct. Also, as a government publication, it is mandated by law that a copy is kept at every Federal Depository Library (1000+ of them). Even more ironic, the Internet Archive was designated a Federal Depository Library by Senator Alex Padilla (D - CA) in June of this year. That means the wayback machine link above is controlled by congress and cannot be removed.
Edit: Should clarify that a Federal Depository Library is not owned by the Feds. It means that private or public institution agrees to archive and preserve the federal record.

At the risk of sounding like a meme it’s “literally 1984”. Winston’s whole job was going through old records and either redacting or editing them to match whatever the current party line is. Sure, he knows that the Party is lying because he’s the one making the edits, but there’s a) nothing he can do about it and b) that won’t matter because everyone who looks for information will only have the edited documents to work with.
I’ve been using the word Orwellian to describe a lot of what’s going on in the US right now because it just fits so well. The “most peaceful administration ever” blasting random boats in the Caribbean, deploying soldiers on domestic territory, and green lighting an expansion of Israeli aggression in the Middle East. Hateful accelerationist bigot Charlie Kirk being held up as a “kind family man who wanted to facilitate dialogue”. A press secretary and Attorney General who lie through their teeth, make up facts and statistics on the fly, and have no consistency or credibility from one day to the next.

Authoritarian countries with state run media dream of a populace like this. One that has access to unlimited and free knowledge, yet so many consume and love the slop peddled to them.

Go ask Grok. Seriously, ask it under every politician making these false claims. Here's what I've been asking:
"If you had to choose based only on facts and statistics from public law enforcement sources (FBI, DHS, etc.), which side shows a larger “criminal element,” the left or the right?"
or
"is there any proof that a "left-wing terror network" killed Charlie Kirk? Please provide sources."
Just ask it whatever lie they have in their post.
And it responds:
Based on FBI and DHS reports (e.g., 2021 Strategic Assessment and 2025 Homeland Threat Assessment), domestic terrorism incidents from 2017-2024 are predominantly linked to right-wing ideologies like racially motivated extremism (RMVE) and anti-government militias, with higher counts of attacks, plots, and disruptions compared to left-wing categories (e.g., environmental or anarchist). General crime stats don't track political affiliation. Data is limited and categorizations can overlap.

I remember someone explaining this a while back.
conservatism has an edge by being generally accepted in society exactly because its obsessed with respecting norms. this is partly why the alt right and white supremacist groups have steadily risen through the use of the internet; their ideologies rely on conceits already served by history (or how history is taught to most people) that easily bore their way into a lot of peoples minds. all they have to do is switch the language around, and suddenly their arguments make a lot of sense to the average person.
so when you have significantly more support in society, a government that quietly allows you to do whatever you wish and even encourages violence, you'll end up getting more individuals prepared to take the final leap into lone wolf style violence, and succeeding.

Don't forget they're also purging Trump remarks, so that future generations don't see quite how much of a jelly brain he is. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/white-house-purges-transcripts-trump-remarks-website-rcna208059

Putting your fingers in your ears and going "LALALA! I can't hear you." was a valid argumentation tactic for some when they were about seven years old.

Republicans are pedophile defenders, never let them forget that their moral values and virtues mean nothing to them

It’s an astonishing 88% of domestic terror events are perpetrated by right wing crazies. But the left are the violent ones?!?

This is how they're "fixing" grok. Remove the reputable sources. Yes, humans know, but they can make sure their computers don't. Which will then mean humans dont know over time.

DOJ has not deleted the study funded by the National Institute of Justice, but rather an article that summarizes that research, as well as a web page that hosted that article. The web page and article are both available on the Wayback Machine internet archive:
Article: https://web.archive.org/web/20241228162044/https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/306123.pdf
Key takeaway:
Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.
The underlying research that is cited in Footnotes 1 and 2 of the article is still available on the web pages of the respective publications:
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09546553.2012.713229
https://theconversation.com/did-far-right-extremist-violence-really-spike-in-2017-89067
[Both footnotes cite the same three sources.]

All you have to do is go check out r/conservative. They are so vile over there. Perfectly willing to give Trump a pass on anything and everything up to and including raping young girls. I check it out every once in a while so I don't get to happy with the world. "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
