Dion Cini, a NYC-based far right grifter who compensates for his shortcomings with x-large MAGA flags, screamed "white power" at "Trumparilla" in Florida last week.
motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
Almost as if we live in a terrible farce penned by a not very good and obvious writer, Dion Cini responded to the journalist questioning him about screaming "White Power" by claiming he was trolling, that his wife is Jewish, & sending a pic of himself with a Black person.
In reality, Dion Cini, who runs "Operation Flag Drop," took credit for the defacement of the "Black Lives Matter" street mural in front of Trump Tower in Oct 2020.
On Dion Cini's "Operation Flag Drop" Telegram channel, one of his buds is the Nazi, Jackson Bradley, a Philly member of the Nazi group, the NJ European Heritage Association. Jackson recently tried organizing a "White Lives Matter" rally in Philly.
Dion Cini is also buds with Jovi Val, a NYC-based Nazi who also used to be in the Proud Boys. He claims Jovi is also "just trolling" despite years of Nazi activity, including sieg heiling w/ Philly Nazi Jackson Bradley in front Jewish museums recently.

Dion Cini works with the NYPD to fly his large MAGA flags in NYC & has worked extensively with the Proud Boys (sometimes claiming he is one). He stormed the Capitol on Jan 6th & openly admits it.
Dion Cini uses the Operation Flag Drop Telegram channel to organize his events & push Far Right politics. However, because everyday anti-fascists are afoot, his plans in NYC often don't go as planned. :-)

In early January, Nazis skulked around NYC taking pics of themselves sieg heiling with a fascist flag.

The Nazi in the grey & black coat is Jackson Bradley, a Philly member of the New Jersey European Heritage Association who goes by "Jesse Herring" on Telegram.
Jackson Browning Bradley was identified by antifascists in 2020 as a Philly member of the Nazi group, the New Jersey European Heritage Association. The NJEHA is connected to fascist groups like Patriot Front & has heavily targeted areas in Staten Island.
Jackson Bradley, in the same grey & black coat, was also seen flyering for the NJEHA with local NYC Nazi, Jovi Val, and a third man in Philadelphia in early January-- across from Independence Hall and the National Museum of American Jewish History.

Today's "MAGA Drag" car caravan that was planned to overrun NYC and head to Trump Tower was cancelled and the organizers were forced to reroute to the Palisades mall.
Another MAGA event was also dumped this Wednesday--Dion Cini was forced to cancel his event where some MAGA fans stand around holding a big Trump flag while guarded by the NYPD.
Dion Cini, as you might recall, runs "Operation Flag Drop," and took credit for defacing the "Black Lives Matter" street mural in front of Trump Tower last weekend.

This weekend, pro-Trump MAGA supporters will be driving around the US in large convoys, including here in New York. While some of these convoys are planning to drive to a larger meetup in Rockland County (route TBD), some have planned on coming to Manhattan.
Car attacks against BLM protesters have occurred with horrifying frequency since May. In September, the local MAGA creeps rammed their car through a crowd of protesters in Times Square--injuring many.
But in recent days we've also seen these MAGA convoys used against Democrats. Here is a MAGA convoy ambushing a Biden/Harris campaign bus on its way to Austin, Texas on Friday--attempting to stop the bus or run it off the road.

During unprecedented mass protests in response to draconian abortion restrictions in Poland, fascists are attacking protesters. Here you see them rushing the crowd and shooting flares in people's faces.

Ignoring a fascist today means having them on the streets tomorrow.
We used the word 'unprecedented' because of the scale of the response, with 1000s of people on the streets for days, with church services disrupted. But there have been many protests by women, LGBTQ people, radicals, & allies in Poland. It's not new.

You may have seen tweets showing the enormous crowds protesting in Poland rn. Here is one showing the crowd in Warsaw running away because ultra-nationalists were beating people at the back of the march.

On Wednesday, ~50 MAGA-bedecked Trump supporters got together in lower Manhattan to hold a big flag, guarded by the NYPD who arrested counter-protesters.

On the fringes of the rally, Proud Boys & associates once again tried to gang beat any counter-protesters they encountered.
One of the main perpetrators of the attack at Wednesday's pro-Trump rally was this "boy" wearing a MAGA Proud Boy cap. He drew a baton & went after someone who was literally just standing there.

Drop us a line if you have any info on who he is! nycantifa [at] riseup [dot] net ImageImageImage
The other attacker at the pro-Trump rally on Wednesday is this guy. If you have any info about who this miscreant is, please feel free to drop us a line at nycantifa [at] riseup [dot] net ImageImage

The Oregon Far Right is flying in to NYC today. They will be at the 9/11 memorial in the hope of inciting & provoking NYers on what is a very somber & fraught day in this city's history.

In addition to Andrew "Black Rebel" Duncomb (first tweet), Haley Adams, a noxious Far Right troll who cozies up to holocaust deniers and white nationalists (& said 'Damn straight I support white pride’) will be in NYC with her grift.
