OK, #Levittown-ers in #BucksCounty #PA01:

this is the thread you’ve been waiting for— your #OriginStory
Further down, Steven Dennis weaves in Levitt's "racial segregation for a buck" ethos
#PA01's @RepBrianFitz grew up in Levittown, PA. This was how he saw it, looking back, in his 2016 run for this (predominantly) #BucksCounty seat.
"Levittown values are blue-collar values"

Steven Dennis had his own thoughts about growing up in Levittown, MD.
True story: leading up to the 2020 #PA01 Dem primary, @CourierTimes' conservative JD Mullane had an interview w progressive candidate @skylar4congress --it started off tense, but positively went off the rails when Hurwitz mentioned the racist history of the building of #Levittown
Candidate Skylar Hurwitz was speaking in the context of supporting more affordable, equal access for all for basic human rights like housing -- but Mullane saw it as an attack on... "blue collar values", I guess. Mullane got so combative & agitated that Hurwitz left the interview
Some #BucksCounty locals don't want to think about the history & legacy of Bill Levitt, maybe including some GOP here today who are working so hard to expunge DEI (Diversity/Equity/Inclusion) from school curriculums
"blue collar values" said @RepBrianFitz (R-#PA01)

Anyway, read the thread by @StevenTDennis, and the article links he provided. #History of #Levittown

Reminds me of th time a @RepBrianFitz-stan #BucksCounty GOP committee person posted @ring video footage instantly accessed from (ex-FBI!) Fitzpatrick's #PA01 official district office to mock a local visiting Indivisible crew- it was never explained how he gained security access🧐
Again, this was *not* the @BrianFitzUSA campaign office in #BucksCounty. It was at the official federal #PA01 district office of Rep Fitzpatrick
One of the 3 GOP people involved in this @ring security incident at @RepBrianFitz's office is now working for the @marcorubio campaign
"For starters, the Ring system has been repeatedly criticized for its cyber security flaws"

This is the full roster of candidates for #Pennridge school board — you can see some have “cross-filed” which means they are on both Dem & GOP ballots for the May 18 election. Many of them *have* submitted their profiles to nonpartisan ⁦@LWV⁩ 👍 (but not all😕)
Noting here that the first 4 candidates (listed alphabetically) are also all endorsed by extremist right #KKISpac, and all only filed on the Republican slate for #Pennridge school board.
Chaikin running for #Pennridge has nothing to say to nonpartisan League of Women Voters as Pennridge district residents prepare to vote. But she has plenty to say in fringe forums.

🚨This new SEPA-wide #KKISpac has endorsed these extremist right candidates for the #Pennridge #SchoolBoard election on May 18. How extreme are they? .... 1/
At least one #KKISpac's #Pennridge school board nominees is a QAnon supporter.
"a previously unpublished FBI bulletin from May 30 says that for the first time the agency is labelling “conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists” as a growing threat."

2/
Chaikin, Batycki and Blomgren are all #KKISpac "endorsed" candidates for the #Pennridge School Board election May 18; here⬇️they are crazily flouting masking rules *inside a grocery store*-- because: why?😳
Dangerous, rude, unhinged, selfish behavior

Walk down 2019 memory lane in #PA01. This was back when @RepBrianFitz was supporting #ProudBoys leader EnriqueTarrio's plea to crackdown on antifa as a "domestic terrorist organization": Tarrio had failed online petition; Fitzpatrick SENT A LETTER ADDRESSED TO ROGUE AG BILL BARR
This👇🏾 letter that #FakeModerate #PA01 @RepBrianFitz sent to BillBarr on July 17, 2019 (just weeks before #ProudBoys leader Enrique Tarrio's antifa petition failed), keeping hope alive for ProudBoys everywhere to live &fight another day!
At the time #PA01's @RepBrianFitz *proudly* released his antifa attack letter to AG Barr, far right hack @SenTedCruz was also making his attack via the Senate through hopeless legislative bill. Here, Cruz doing promo w #ProudBoys Tarrio
