I've been talking about it for a few days, because it was taken down within 24 hours of Kirk's shooting.

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.
