Here's more context on the bill that passed the House

https://www.aclu.org/news/aclu-comment-house-passage-bill-weakens-americans-disabilities-act

The bill creates a new notice and cure requirement in the Americans with Disabilities Act, which would force people with disabilities to provide businesses with written notice of access barriers that need to be fixed, then wait for months to see if substantial progress has been made in removing them. This effectively exempts businesses from complying with their obligations under the ADA and proactively ensuring that people with disabilities have access to places of public accommodation.

There is no group taking credit or claiming responsibility for the shooting.

Right; they've acknowledged that the shooter had trained with them, but they've denounced his actions, and there's nothing to suggest (yet) that he targeted nonwhites or did anything along those lines.

The leader of the group telling it to several outlets including the AP seems like decent enough confirmation to me.
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/florida/articles/2018-02-15/the-latest-florida-school-shooting-suspect-booked-in-jail
The leader of a white nationalist militia says Florida school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz was a member of his group and participated in paramilitary drills in Tallahassee.

Jordan Jereb told The Associated Press on Thursday that his group, the Republic of Florida, wants Florida to become its own white ethno-state. He said his group holds "spontaneous random demonstrations" and tries not to participate in the modern world.

Jereb said he didn't know Cruz personally and that "he acted on his own behalf of what he just did and he's solely responsible for what he just did."

He also said he had "trouble with a girl" and he believed the timing of the attack, carried out on Valentine's Day, wasn't a coincidence.


Particularly when combined with

He always wore like really patriotic shirts that seemed really extreme, like hating on the Islamic religion. For example, he would say things such as like, he would degrade islamic people as terrorists and bombers," Parodie said.

https://www.adl.org/blog/florida-white-supremacist-group-admits-ties-to-alleged-parkland-school-shooter-nikolas-cruz

A spokesperson for the white supremacist group Republic of Florida (ROF) told the Anti-Defamation League on Thursday, February 15, that Nikolas Cruz, the man charged with the previous days deadly shooting spree at a Parkland, Florida, high school, was associated with his group.

On Wednesday, February 14, , Cruz, 19, a former student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, allegedly entered the school with an AR-15 and opened fire, killing at least 17 people and injuring 14 more. Cruz left the scene but was later captured by police and has been charged with premeditated murder.

After self-described ROF members claimed on the discussion forum 4chan that Cruz had also been a member, the Anti-Defamation League called the ROF hotline and spoke with an ROF member who identified himself as Jordan Jereb.

Jereb, based in Tallahassee, is believed to be the leader of ROF. In 2016, he was arrested on charges of threatening a staffer in the office of Florida Governor Rick Scott because he was allegedly angry at the staffers son.

Jereb said that Cruz was associated with ROF, having been brought up by another membe. Jereb added that Cruz had participated in one or more ROF training exercises in the Tallahassee area, carpooling with other ROF members from south Florida.

ROF has members in north and south Florida. The alt right white supremacist group borrows paramilitary concepts from the anti-government extremist militia movement (not itself a white supremacist movement). ROF describes itself as a white civil rights organization fighting for white identitarian politics and seeks to create a white ethnostate in Florida. Most ROF members are young and the group itself is only a few years old.

Jereb added that ROF had not ordered or wanted Cruz to do anything like the school shooting.

If Cruzs role is confirmed, the Parkland school shooting would be the second school shooting by a white supremacist in the past two months. In December 2017, another young white supremacist, William Atchison, engaged in a shooting spree at a high school in northwest New Mexico, killing two students before shooting himself.

https://splinternews.com/the-pro-hillary-site-nobody-asked-for-or-used-is-reboot-1822936452
In September, Hillary Clinton endorsed new website Verrit as the media platform for the 65.8 million who supported her 2016 campaign. Co-launched by Clintonworld hanger-on and Loud Twitter Man Peter Daou, Verrit marketed itself as a sanctuary in a chaotic media environment, showcasing its supposed dedication to facts with numerically coded cards sharing random statistics and inspirational quotes. It was soft-edged Democratic propaganda dressed up as nonpartisan truth-telling, and it was incredibly dumb.

Just five months later, those 65.8 million people now find themselves without their chosen sanctuary. If you look at Verrit.com today, you will find a static page with sad news for us all: Reboots Summer 2018. Links to article pages similarly bring up this away message.

There was no going-away tweet or Facebook post announcing this tragic hiatus. Daou, a manic tweeter, curiously didnt post anything about the break. Nor did he immediately respond to a request for comment sent through his personal site. A note to Verrits contact page this afternoon has also gone unanswered. Ill update this post if any of that changes.
...
Update: Representatives for Verrit still havent responded to my request for comment. They did, however, block me on Twitter.


https://www.fastcompany.com/40530333/advice-for-your-new-media-startup-dont-block-people-en-masse-on-twitter

Lets set the scene: Youre starting a new companya venture, as some people call it. And you want people to use your new product or service. One thing you shouldnt do is block everyone who disagrees with you on social media.

It seems Verrit, the Hillary Clinton-endorsed sort of media website, is not taking my advice. For the uninitiated, Verrit was launched last year by digital strategist and longtime Clinton defender Peter Daou. What Verrit exactly is remains unclear. It would post usually fact-based statements on both Twitter and its website alongside a seven-digit fact-checking numerical code that users could cross-check, to let them know that the statement is verified by Verrit. The idea was muddy from the outsetsomething about fake news, relying on facts, and being anti-Trump. And it seems even Verrit itself knew it needed retooling: As Splinter reports, the website now claims it will reboot this summer.

Daou has a penchant for pressing the block button on anyone he deems a troll, which is many many people. And it seems Verrit has adopted this trait from its birth father. For instance, I was blocked on Twitter by both Daou and Verrit, despite the fact that Im pretty sure Ive never tweeted directly at either of them, and despite me being a pretty chill journalist type who honestly does not tweet that much about politics. Other Twitter users have also noticed that they are blocked by Verrit, despite scant interactions with the company.

If youre tweeting from a personal account, pressing block is absolutely your prerogative. If people are annoying you, block to your hearts content. I would say the only way to make Twitter more bearable is to block with abandon. But if youre launching a new company aimed at accruing users, and you have the keys to its social media presence, this tactic doesnt seem like the best idea. Aggressively blocking people who have never even heard of your brand doesnt seem like the smartest way to evangelize your new product, whatever it is.

- I have no idea what's going on with the game's performance index. A 300 pp bike can have worse stats in all categories and (more importantly) perform worse than 250 pp one. The naked bikes generally seem to be worse than an "equivalent" sports bike.

- Having upped the physics and AI, there's a decent challenge here. I'm not yet on the hardest settings, but still find that I have to take care not to botch my corner exits (some bikes are worse about this than others). It's not at a frustrating level, though.

- Generally, I'm pleased with my purchase here. It lacks the polish of Forza or any Codemasters game, but it's not bad.

...About an hour [after the sign went up], a message from a woman named Rebecca, whose Facebook profile was an image that read TEAM USA, popped up in Cox Farms Facebook Messenger inbox: Whatever your own personal agendas are none us want to see them on display at a place we once enjoyed going to for tradition. Its TRULY disappointing.

The vitriol only intensified in the hours that followed, which baffled Aaron. Who, other than a white supremacist, would be offended by a message condemning white supremacy? She also understood, though, that this is America in 2018, a time of such fierce division that even voicing opposition to the ugliest beliefs could be twisted or taken out of context.
...
Their first experience with real controversy came in 2000 when conservative activists accused the farm of promoting gay rights because of two rainbow flags that flew over tunnels made of hay. The flags hadnt been bought for that reason, but Aarons parents, Gina and Eric, learned what they symbolized and embraced the idea. Aaron, a lesbian, had come out to them five years before the upheaval.

At some point it looked like we could be facing a significant impact on our business, Aaron recalled, but the family didnt flinch, and instead rallied supporters to their cause.

It was a record-breaking season, she said. By far the best wed ever had.

Aaron, whose partner is of mixed race, also didnt back down after the threat of a boycott three years ago over the Black Lives Matter poster she put in a window of their home, which stands in the middle of the sprawling property.
...
For Aaron, though, the blowback presented an opportunity. To change peoples minds, even by just a degree or two, required communication that was respectful but honest. And here was a chance to talk to people who disagreed with her lots of them.

Resist white supremacy is not an inclusive message, complained Patty Weston Meizlish. When you single out a group of people you exclude them. This is a sad message.

Yes, generally speaking, we are comfortable excluding white supremacists, responded Aaron, who studied psychology at Smith College in Massachusetts. If you know some who would be interested in dialoguing with us, please have them contact us!

Shannon Lee Sibley contended that she also supported fighting hate groups but wouldnt spend her money at the farm because it would never post a Blue Lives matter sign in support of police.

Youre right, Shannon we do not support Blue Lives Matter. . . . police lives are already and by default valued in our society, she wrote. Black lives are not, so we believe that a declaration that Black Lives Matter is necessary and important.

So black supremacy is okay then? asked Lisa Lewis. This is not a message of love, this is a message out to divide people even more. I would never ever visit your farm because you try to force your views on your customers. That is WRONG no matter what you say.

Lisa, when we talk about white supremacy, were referring to a systemic racism that is much deeper and more pervasive than any individual or group could be, Aaron replied. Black people do not have the institutional power in our society to benefit from so-called black supremacy. It just doesnt work like that.
