1/ Today we saw white supremacists, proud boys and antigovernment extremists invade a high school campus in Vancouver, WA, flashing white power signs and one wearing a skull mask.
It was coordinated, led, and will happen more and more often unless it’s shut down.
They put 🧵
2/ kids at risk. For some of you; your kids. For others reading this, it could have just as easily been your kids’ school.
This is significant escalation. It’s been seen in Ft Lauderdale, where one of these cretins - Dan Baum’s - assaulted a student.
3/ The police were at the school today. From all accounts, they didn’t do ANYTHING.
Who did? PARENTS.
Antifascists have put their asses on the line for years to protect BIPOC & other marginalized community members from the fascist creep you’re witness to.
4/ The Portland Police have a history of working with fascist Patriot Prayer; protecting Joey Gibson, Tiny Toese and others who entered a school to violate anti-mask rules and use your kids as propaganda. They’d put kids at risk of infection from COVID. wweek.com/news/courts/20…
5/ Gibson from the depths of Telegram, encouraged and pushed today’s specific event in advance, and posted a picture of it while it was happening.
Tiny was there.
Here’s the thing though - this isn’t just about one school in Vancouver, Washington.
6/ This is a strategy that has been largely overlooked, ignored, or brushed off. The @IREHR has not overlooked this, however. Neither have antifascists.
This is an in depth analysis of Ammon Bundy’s “Peoples’ Rights” network.
7/ Bundy’s history of antigovernment extremism is documented and well know. The @IREHR walks through the players, history and people (at least a lot of it.
This is going to happen across the country. The question is - what will you do to make sure kids and teachers are safe?
8/ We can monitor, we can document, but we cannot stop these individual events at schools or school board meetings.
Step up and stop them, there are a hell of a lot more of you than there are of them.
Make your kids proud, make them feel safe. Tell these bastards (most of whom
9/ don’t have kids in these schools) they’re not welcome. Show them the door. Tell your school boards to ban them. Tell your cops to do their goddamn jobs.
You call us alarmists. Antifascists have a track record of being correct about these threats.
Be alarmed. Step up.
10/ Don’t let your kids have to watch white supremacists throw up white power signs on their campus while not being held accountable for it.
There is a reason the saying cops and klan exists. In 2021, they just don’t wear hoods.
1/3 - Olympia WA - 9/4/21 - Proud Boys Assault & Rampage #BrownBaklava
We ran across something mysterious. It's an invisible, invincible Proud Boy, "hunting antifa" (looking around to violently assault anyone they decided was an antifascist). Clearly he's invisible.
2/3 - Olympia WA - 9/4/21 - Proud Boys Assault & Rampage #BrownBaklava
Oh, maybe he's not. Looks a little steamy underneath. Had to adjust his hat.
Needs ID'd.
3/3 - Olympia WA - 9/4/21 - Proud Boys Assault & Rampage #BrownBaklava
3/ PS - Robert, fortunately there's (not your) livestreams to be had of the actual shooting. Maybe one of them will reflect whatever reality took place.
1/ Proud Boys (or those wearing proud boys' colors & shirts), white supremacists, Bundy's Peoples Rights' folks, and various other anti-mask / anti-vaxxers are accosting Skyview High School in north Vancouver, WA - NOW.
Only call to action: DOCUMENT THEM
2/ The still above is from video posted 40 minutes ago.
They are likely carrying chemical weapons, and prepared to commit acts of violence. It's their MO. Parents need to step in & take action immediately IMHO.
