A mom, Suparna Dutta, arrived from India with dollars. She was never political. She begged @VASecofEdu@GovernorVA@Ricardy4Mason to hear her in her belief in merit + the American Dream. Now she is on the stage waiting for @GlennYoungkin to begin his rally against @TerryMcAuliffe
A mama bear @StacyLangton stood before @fcpsnews school board + begged them to hear her witness against porn and pedophilia in library books. @stella_pekarsky cut her microphone. Stacy is now in the crowd waiting for @GlennYoungkin to speak in his race against @TerryMcAuliffe.
Mine is simple reporting. Vote of course as we wish but we are best served trying to deeply understand voters including parents—rather than demonizing them. This is Stacy taking a photo of Suparna. Both different narratives but connected. Whatever your politics. That’s America.
It’s standing room only with a crowd outside waiting to get inside the Burke VFW with the requisite baby absorbing history in the subconscious. @GlennYoungkin rally vs @TerryMcAuliffe. Mama bears knew education was the election’s No. 1 issue.
The eyes of the nation are now on the Virginia race, so I share with you the Facebook link to the livestream of tonight’s event. Vote as you wish, but we all have a duty to be informed. Parents knew they would decide this race. Here is livestream link: facebook.com/GlennYoungkin

🚨 Who is behind the anti-ICE protests we’re seeing explode across the US?
For years, I’ve been working independently but today I had the honor of working with a remarkable team at @FoxNews Digital, where I just joined as senior editor of investigations, and bring you back a story like none other I’ve been able to publish.
I worked all day with video editor @LanumNikolas and reporter @M_Dorgan -- please follow them! -- and we established, step-by-step that a network of groups – self-described as socialist, Marxist-Leninist or communist – are coordinating the multi-city mobilization that we’re seeing from NYC to Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Burlington, Vt., Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, vilifying @DHSgov @Sec_Noem and ICE officers and sowing discord on the streets.
It’s reporting that you won’t see just about anywhere else, as most media outlets don't name the names of the groups behind the protests and don't identify the ideologies they embrace.
Watch Nik’s video ⬇️ because, and you’ll see the receipts and you’ll hear the honest remarks of a young protestor we interviewed.
"I personally identify as a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, following the teachings of [former communist China leader] Mao Zedong," said demonstrator Tye Burrus, 18, who held a handmade sign depicting a hammer and sickle smashing a giant ice cube.
Burrus, a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation who self-identifies as a transgender woman, said losing faith in the Democrats and never having faith in the Republicans led to embracing communism.
"So now I am a communist," Burrus said.
Going into the streets of the New York City protest and studying protests nationwide this is who we found from the far-left network:
1⃣ Freedom Road Socialist Organization @FreedomRoadOrg – A self-described communist group immediately dispatched its members to the site of the killing in Minneapolis, and they are the ones behind clashes with ICE officers. The FBI has investigated the group – whose members wear distinct red swag marked with FRSO – as a "revolutionary socialist and Marxist-Leninist organization," citing alleged ties to foreign Marxist-Leninist extremist groups, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Communist Party of the Philippines, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC. Link to the internal FBI documents made public vault.fbi.gov/freedom-road-s…
2⃣ @PeoplesForumNYC -- Protest leaders arrived at AM, just before the 9 AM start for the protest in New York City, hauling two shopping carts full of bullhorns and pre-made black-and-white signs, printed with the message, "JUSTICE FOR RENEE NICOLE GOOD," and a photo of Good, with "PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION" across the bottom. It's a nonprofit activist hub for groups include @AnswerCoalition, and it's received funding from a tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. It stage-managed most of the day's protest in NYC.
3⃣ Party for Socialism and Liberation @PSLNational -- Their organizers handed out the signs asking folks standing around: “Want a sign?” They organized protests across their national network, and they work closely with The People's Forum.
4⃣ Democratic Socialists of America @DemSocialists-- Its members joined the NYC march, wearing their distinct red beanies with DSA across the front, while its member NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani repeated the talking points of the socialist groups, saying the ICE officer “murdered” the woman. They are also organizing protests across their national network.
5⃣ Revolutionary Internationalist Youth from City University of New York -- The carried handmade signs and copies of their newspaper, "The Revolution," which said they promoted "the program of Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky."
6⃣ Spartacist League members from the U.S. chapter of the International Communist League – They distributed copies of "Workers Vanguard," which calls itself a "Marxist Newspaper"
The socialist-adjacent groups joining them in using this moment to organize protests are:
7⃣ @IndivisibleTeam – Closely aligned with the Democratic Party, it organized #HandsOff #NoKings marches all year and is now organizing protests nationwise.
8⃣ 50501 – It also organized #TeslaTakedown protests against Elon Musk and is throwing its muscle behind anti-ICE protests.
9⃣ @RefuseFascism – They moved through the crowd in NYC, handing out slick, freshly printed pamphlets titled "The People’s Indictment of Donald Trump,"
Why does it matter to know these names?
Stu Smith @thestustustudio, a @ManhattanInst researcher who studies domestic extremism, explained, "I just wish the average American realized that there is a network of far-left agitators in America who are Marxist-Leninists, socialists, Maoists and even North Korean apologists.”
"As these ideologues say, the issue is never the issue,” he told us. “It’s all about the revolution. After this terrible situation in Minneapolis, they used social media and their networks to mobilize and get on the streets to hurt America.”
You’ve heard me say it before. Look at the evidence yourself. Read the signs shared by journalists like @MrAndyNgo. Follow the money with data scienctists like @DataRepublican. Study the breadcrumbs. I’m honored to work with this team to bring our reporting from the streets back to you.
The NYC protest was stage-managed by The People’s Forum, a socialist hub funded by a tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, tied to the Chinese Communist Party. They arrived, hauling shopping carts with signs they handed folks: "JUSTICE FOR RENEE NICOLE GOOD." foxnews.com/us/socialist-g…
Follow the signs. Organizers are proud of their socialist or communist ideology and say America's capitalism must be destroyed. You can see the Party for Socialism and Liberation brand in trademark yellow-and-black or black-and-white signs.

EXCLUSIVE 🧵Inside the Mamdani Machine
How did a 34-year-old political novice climb to the edge of running America’s biggest city?
For days, I've buried myself in 990s, social media posts and insider reports to investigate for @FoxNews how Mamdani's rise was engineered, funded by a ethno-religious network funded in part by @GeorgeSoros @FordFoundation @macfound and propelled by socialists, radical imams and political operatives, including Palestinian American Linda Sarsour, accused for years of deeply-held anti-semitism.
I've been following these organizations and activists for 23 years, and their orchestrated coordination is not an accident. It's politically engineered.
🔗And here is our public @DPearlProject database of the 110 organizations in the Mamdani Machine, following the money: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
@DataRepublican @SamAntar: some of the groups get city funding. That will likely increase as a flow of money to these groups if Mamdani wins.
In my book #WokeArmy, I wrote about the alliance of socialists (red) with Muslims (green) and now we can see in the Mamdani Machine how they are entrenched with the Democratic Party (blue).
110 Organizations in the Mamdani Machine
This graphic of the 110 organizations in the Mamdani Machine is messy and busy and breaks every rule of design but I hope it will get the point across to you about the Mamdani Machine:
🔴 4 Socialist and socialist-aligned groups including @DemSocialists
🟢 30 Muslim and South Asian groups including the @CAIRNational @ICNA @EmgageUSA @EmgageAction @MAS_National Linda Sarsour's @MPower_Change, the imam, Siraj Wahhaj, who served as a character witness for the "Blind Sheikh" convicted in the first World Trade Center attack in 1993.
🔵 76 Democratic and Dem-aligned groups including 21 affialiates of the @DNC, 22 unions including @AFLCIO unions and 33 Dem-aligned groups, including @MoveOn @thenation and @sunrisemvmt
🧵I'll walk you through the timeline for the development of the Mamdani Machine.
@FoxNews 1⃣ In 2012, as a student at Bowdoin College in Maine, @ZohranKMamdani cofounded a chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine @NationalSJP, the campus organization founded by @HatemBazian and known for its rabid anti-Israel activism. foxnews.com/politics/insid…
@FoxNews @ZohranKMamdani @NationalSJP @HatemBazian 2⃣ In 2017, Zohran Mamdani canvassed with Linda Sarsour for @DemSocialists city council candidate Khader El-Yateem, aligned with him in their rabid anti-Israel work. Sarsour (2nd from left) and Mamdani (5th from left) bonded as Sarsour's star was falling for antisemitism.
🚨 At @FairfaxTimes, I’ve learned @FCPSNews @FCPSSupt Michelle Reid quietly closed an investigation into a boy “who has facial hair” who watched girls undress in the West Springfield High School locker room — concluding it’s OK because he identifies as female. 🧵what went down…
2/ Full @DFIPolicy complaint in 🧵
Sept. 2, freshman girl, 14, walked into the girls’ locker room at West Springfield High and saw “a male student” with “facial hair” and pants “so tight they clearly outlined his genitalia.” He was watching girls in “various stages of undress.”
@DFIPolicy @data_republican 3/ Upset, the girl told a teacher who said “there was nothing” she could do.
The girl called her mom.
School officials told the mom the boy “has a right to use the girls’ locker room because he identifies as female.”
(Not numbers data here @DataRepublican but human data.)
@CrackerBarrel CEO Julie Felss Masino and her board ignored warnings last year from investor Sardar Biglari that her "strategic transformation plan" and rebrand was "obvious folly."
🧵has the receipts from our new @FoxNews @FoxBusiness investigation.
Autopsy: How @CrackerBarrel blew it over 15 months.
1⃣ May 16, 2024, 4:30 PM ET
CEO Julie Felss Masino unveils a “strategic transformation plan" in a📞call with investors.
Pillar #1: "REFINE THE BRAND."
📉 Wall Street heard jargon. The stock tanked.
@CrackerBarrel @FoxNews @FoxBusiness @robbystarbuck @JGunlock @carriesheffield @rikoruss31 @mkhammer @Riley_Gaines_ @data_republican @w_terrence @MattWalshBlog @ChristinaPushaw @SJohnston60 @Hebro_Steele @RepDonaldsPress @carolinedowney_ @jlawrencenc @BlueBoxDave @CGasparino @JenniferSey @LisaMarieBoothe @dagenmcdowell 2⃣ Oct. 8, 2024: "Chickens have come home to roost"
Cracker Barrel investor Sardar Biglari and board critic fires off a letter to shareholders, saying:
🧨"Strategic transformation plan" is "obvious folly"
🧨 "Cracker Barrel is not a broken brand but it has a broken board"
🧵 You won’t believe the Democratic org behind the racist sign a woman held up to challenge Lt. Gov @WinsomeSears, who is black. The sign: “HEY WINSOME, IF TRANS CAN'T SHARE YOUR BATHROOM THEN BLACKS CAN'T SHARE MY WATER FOUNTAIN.”
2) Read Poster Lady’s affiliation on her shirt in video posted by @Jaaavis.
@NoVA_Campaigns recognized
@arlingtondems Chair Steve Baker, as he whispered to Poster Lady: “That’s getting a lot of play on TV right now…Negative.”
What’s her shirt say?
@Jaaavis @NoVA_Campaigns @arlingtondems 3) See her tee?
It says: WOFA in red and yellow.
What is WOFA?
It self-describes:
“We of Action Virginia | An Indivisible group.”
Who is Indivisible? @DataRepublican knows.
It’s the multimillion-dollar Dem machine behind ALL the anti-Trump, anti-Elon, anti-Tesla protests.
🚨 How did a Socialist Muslim, Zohran Mamdani, who wants to globalize the intifada become the Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor? This is the story of a 20-year political campaign — funded by the House of Soros — where Socialism🔴Political Islam🟢and the Democratic Party🫏🔵merged.
🔗 @DataRepublican — you’ll want to study the new data, Tab 1 House of Soros in our @DPearlProject database: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

💡Friends, support the independent journalism of the @DPearlProject: asranomani.com/donate, as we work to make the database a user-friendly app.
2️⃣ It started at 9:28 p.m. on Dec. 12, 2008. Soros exec Ann Beeson emailed former Clinton advisor John Podesta. She attached a memo from Muslim Advocates and the Brennan Center — Soros grantees — urging the Obama team to shift U.S. security policy in favor of Muslim activists.📩
@ConceptualJames @BillAckman @data_republican @FoxNews @foxandfriends @FoxNewsOpinion 3️⃣ This was no accident. It was a decades-long plan.
While Soros' Open Society claimed to promote “human rights,” it quietly built a pipeline for red-green operatives to wear blue. At @DPearlProject, we followed the receipts: millions in grants. foxnews.com/opinion/asra-n…
