1/ What is Moms For Liberty? 🧵

This new REPUBLICAN group started in #Brevard County, FL. They spread across the country(like COVID), calling themselves "non-partisan" and "grassroots", they are neither. Last week, they formed 4 large PACs. Let's dive in!

#OperationAvalanche
2/ FACT: The Republican agenda IS to privatize public education, and put that tax money into their own private piggy banks. They have already taken several steps down that road, and that's not an exaggeration.

3/ Matt Gaetz sponsored a bill in 2017 that would have completely elimated the U.S. Department of Education @usedgov

4/ "A trio of current and former Florida school board members founded Moms for Liberty. They are: former Brevard School Board member Tina Descovich, former Indian River School Board member Tiffany Justice and Sarasota School Board member Bridget Ziegler."

tcpalm.com/story/news/202…
8/ In Florida, our Public Education Commissioner is Richard Corcoran, and there are/were some "connections between Hillsdale and Florida’s charter school movement — and Commissioner Corcoran’s wife, Anne Corcoran."

floridaphoenix.com/2019/08/23/fl-…
9/ Shortly after January 6th, Steve "Nazi" #Bannon, called the Mom's "shock troops". "Much like Bannon has today, groups like Paul Weyrich’s newly-formed #HeritageFoundation, the #JohnBirchSociety, and even the KKK saw a cause they could get behind."

thedailybeast.com/steve-bannon-h…
10/ / The most important thing to know about the Mom's is that they are advancing the effort to privatize public education, even if that means spreading COVID in public schools or partnering with domestic terrorists/insurrectionists.

11/ If you read the thread on Bridget Ziegler, you've heard of the MAGA Patriot Party, but have you heard of The #PatriotChurch?

#ChurchOfAlBundy
12/ Proselytizing is a good way to get a tax exemption, but if your "church" is literally sending out crazy people to help an organized political agenda, it's not just tax evasion...

#HoldThemAccountable
#Wokened
13/ Organized crime is creating religious extremists using military grade #Psyops, which is exactly what Q-Anon is. It's not an exaggeration or a conspiracy theory. It happening in real life. It's well documented.

14/ In Sarasota, at some crazy Mike Flynn event the #DemonSpermDoctor lady from last year was recently seen singing about Jesus in front of a gambling logo that says "Patriot Double Down" ...seriously.

#OperationOrangeJuice
#StupidCoup
#ArrestMikeFlynn
15/Lawsuits, #fraud, RICO investigations, #Insurrection? State Rep Randy Fine don't give af about that. He's a Las Vegas carpetbagging casino big-shot #charlatan and this is #Florida!

He's not gonna double down, he's all in!
16/ The Mom's pretended to distance themselves from that and the violence that had accompanied their mindless political spectacles, but their org is being led and coordinated and by the same people who got busses to the Capitol on #January6th.

17/ So why hasn't all of THIS been covered in the national media ad nauseam in a way that leaves the public no doubt about what is happening?? Right wing media is popular, but there's something more insidious...

18/ The Moms are well financed, and just like any operation that's funded by #Koch money, they have taken to filing lawsuits for any reason they can think of. They don't really care if the lawsuits get tossed or not, it's free media coverage.

masspoliticsprofs.org/2021/04/12/koc…
19/ / The #KochBrothers are a pair of racist oil billionaires. They and Donald Trump’s controversial education secretary, Betsy #DeVos, have launched a war against teachers’ unions, teachers and parents dating back a few years.

20/ With frivolous and illegal lawsuits already piling up faster than they can be dismissed, Ron DeSantis announced his "Stop W.O.K.E. Act". It's a law makes it so white supremacists can file frivolous lawsuits against schools and employers.

21/ Just the other day, a Mom(actually a mother?) from Wisconsin was on twitter claiming to have discovered the secret "#CRT" agenda in her school district. She failed to mention that "CRT" in the document she found was "Culturally Responsive Teaching".
22/ In Tennessee, a lawsuit under their new anti-CRT law cites a book by Martin Luther King Jr. as being racist and anti-American.

#woke
#DeathSantis

23/ In Pennsylvania, a judge ruled that parents can be disorderly vulgar jerks in school board/government meetings. The Mom's celebrated this.

ifs.org/news/court-ord…
24/ The big money GOP people are lining up to give, give, give to the Mom's ahead of the 2022 midterms. So the head Mom, Tina Descovich, is proud to announce 4 new PAC's. It's pretty sophisticated stuff for a bunch of "Concerned Moms" working out of a humble storage closet.
25/ #MomsForLiberty Foundation, a 501(c)3, billionaires can send their unlimited checks anonymously and tax free to fund lawsuits, fundraisers, travel, political trainings disguised as "educational" initiatives, and of course, Political Action Committes.

opensecrets.org/dark-money/bas…
26/ The second one: #MomsForLiberty Action, a 501(c)4 #SuperPAC can receive/spend an unlimited amount of money, reports donors, and donations are not tax deductible. Technically, they are limited to 49.9% on election spending, but...

opensecrets.org/political-acti…
27/The third, #MomsForLiberty PAC is how they will fund candidates and campaigns. Keep an eye out for LLC's though. #Haridopolis got like 175k for one copy of a dumb book he wrote once. Seriously.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political…
28/ The fourth is #MomsForLiberty Victory Fund. This allows donors to write big checks at very high-end political fundraisers, and then the money is divvied up among the groups participating in the joint fund.

opensecrets.org/resources/10th…
29/ Make no mistake about it. The plan to spread COVID was deliberate. A Congressional report released today detailed Trump admin lies, but the same thing happened here in #Florida with #DeathSantis. They wanted that $$$$$.

30/ Randy Fine is chair of both the gaming committee and the k-12 appropriations committee. Casino money funds education(when Republicans aren't misappropriating it) and gambling interests are pouring hundreds of millions into Florida PAC's right now. 🤔

tampabay.com/news/florida-p…
31/ From the top down: GOP billionaire grifters recruited wing-nut mom grifters who breathlessly lie to gin up violent racists/insurrectionists that the Flynn/Bannon people have radicalized. The tactics are as old as the confederacy itself. And it's ALL coming from #Florida.
32/ Just the other day some one punched someone at a school board in Connecticut over a mascot...

Seriously, America 🇺🇲, thank #Florida for it...or maybe come down here and save us. There's still time.
miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…
32/ But I want to finish on a positive note, something that gives me some hope...aside from the blatant stupidity and pending Avalanche of indictments.

Here is a woman who braved the proud boys and covid to say something that everyone should hear:
Correction, *about MLK Jr.

1/🧵Tiffany Justice may not be as well connected with these political circles, but she is right down the road, and had her share of scandals. She is the current spokesperson for the Moms, probably bc she doesn't have the same kind of hiding financial connections as the other 2.
2/ Her tenure as a school board member was marked by several scandals, accusations of an affair with the superintendent, and abuse of her office. She even tried to have someone criminally prosecuted for gossip.

veronews.com/2020/06/04/jus…
3/ Of course her political views were generally racist, papered over with pretend Christianity like the KKK does, and she again overstepped her bounds in trying to control a committee that was set up for parents to help close racial achievement gaps.

1🧵/ Bridget Ziegler is a current school board member in Sarasota County, FL. She has stepped aside in her role with the Moms probably b/c of the conflict of interest with her job as a school board member, running for re-election.

vice.com/en/article/k78…
2/ Also in Sarasota is traitor Mike Flynn, racist State Sen. Joe Gruters, Chair of The RPOF, the #CyberNinjas who did the #Fraudit in AZ, and the founder of the MAGA Patriot Party.

3/ Some excellent research on Joe Gruters Chair of #RPOF, Christian Ziegler(Bridget's husband, and Vice Chair of RPOF), and the scummy world of political financing they all dwell in, by @gal_suburban 🍻

1/🧵 Tina Descovich is the ringleader of the "#MomsForLiberty" circus. She is a former school board member in #Brevard, and she was defeated by #JenniferJenkins for her seat in 2020. The same Jennifer Jenkins who State Rep Randy Fine is being investigated for threatening.
2/ The "small office" she claims to work out of is also home to many other interesting things, including an org she had with the other founding "mom", Bridget Ziegler, over 2 years ago.
3/ Before she was a school board member, her website says she was a marketing/PR/HR professional who has close ties to the defense industry. With Randy Fine, we can add casinos to that list.

Playing russian roulette with kids' lives during #Covid makes a little more sense now.

Derelict?

He incited the mob with lies, he invited the mob to D.C., he encouraged the mob and they became angry, he directed the mob and they marched to the capitol. And he had lots of help. That's not dereliction, thats insurrection.

1/ It wasn't a conspiracy theory, it was a #CrimeAgainstHumanity...and it came from Florida. 🧵

The GOP started lying about COVID when Trump called it a "hoax". THAT lie has cost hundreds of thousands of American🇺🇲 lives. It also made them and their friends billions $$.

#Facts
2/ Trump said it was a hoax on Feb 27, 2020. Community transmission was being confirmed in multiple cities in the US. Around the world, case numbers were increasing exponentially everywhere one was found, and economic disruptions began roiling global financial markets.

#Covid19
3/ Four Republican Senators on the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee who knew how bad the virus was, sold their stocks ahead of a market collapse which saw equity valuations plunge up to 40% worldwide in a matter of weeks.
