White nationalists and supremacists, on accounts often run by young men, are building thriving, macho communities across social media platforms like Instagram, Telegram and TikTok, evading detection with coded hashtags and innuendo. They revel in the prospect of a “white boy summer.” They traffic in racist, sexist and homophobic tropes. They hint darkly that the CIA or the FBI are behind mass shootings. Singer Adam Lambert, who is receiving the key to the city from Bower, will perform at the festival's main stage Sunday night at 8 p.m.WASHINGTON (AP) - The social media posts are of a distinct type.
