🧵 According to leaked audio obtained by anonymous anti-fascist activists who infiltrated Patriot Front, the violent extremist gang may show up at today's #MarchforLife2022 event.

If you're in DC, you can help show they're unwelcome. Tips in this thread:

2/ At the recent Chicago M4L event, Patriot Front and their leader Tommy Rousseau showed up and were rejected and heckled by right-wing participants in the march for being racists.

Trump-friendly media has also convinced a lot of them Patriot Front are a "Fed Op."
3/ So while Rousseau may think this crowd is made up of natural allies -- he might have a surprise coming.

The far-right may just eat their own today.

Actions you can take: document, document, document.

Video and still photos. Send to antifascist accounts for analysis.
4/ If you see U-Haul, Penske, or similar trucks loitering in the area, take photos of license plate, location, and VIN if safe to do so.

Open Google maps and screenshot your location to send along to antifascist researchers in real-time if possible.
5/ If you see a convoy of cars with taped-over license plates, immediately call 911.

This is a serious public safety issue: might be Patriot Front, might be cars full of weapons or explosives, might be all of the above.

Either way, police will very likely respond immediately.
6/ Worth noting: Patriot Front may get cold feet and no-show after the very-recent identification of their regional director.

The "THIS IS SAMUEL VA, EVERYONE LOG OFF NOW!!" guy.

This identification might have messed up Sammy VA's weekend a bit.
7/ If Tommy stays in Texas shakin’ in his cowboy boots, there are some cold-weather fascists in town for the march who are worth tracking.

“New Columbia Movement” is here, including co-founder Nicholas Chimera Jr, recently of the Mussolini-fan club “American Black Shirts Party.”
8/ Christofascist NCM has an iron cross in the blue field of an American flag. Chimera is easy to spot with red hair and dirty mustache.

Group of 11 seen marching south from Chinatown to National Monument last night.

Shoutout to the DC women who gave them an appropriate welcome
9/ Groypers and NCM have coalesced into one small-ish group of white nationalists at 9th and Constitution.

I don’t know why he would do this, but the guy with them sounds like he’s shouting “Christ is gay” into a megaphone.
10/ Patriot Front on the ground. Currently around 9th and Consitution:
11/ Speaking of Patriot Front...

@UR_Ninja just dropped 500 GIGS of data on them, including evidence of coordination of hate crimes.

They're marching around right now with masks on and none of them know that their faces are already famous!

unicornriot.ninja/2022/patriot-f…
12/ Patriot Front has been static, isolated from the rest of the march.

They’re even getting heckled by other neo-nazis, seen here in telltale skull masks/gaiters, yelling at them “try harder.”

What a pack of losers.
13/ BREAK BREAK BREAK

DC is giving the absolute BEST welcome to Patriot Front right now.

They’re reading full REAL names and Code Names that were leaked by Unicorn Riot.
14/ Can confirm that Patriot Front had a terrible, no good day.

This boy was so, so mad.

🔊 Sound on for Molly’s video where she’s the lucky one to inform them that the entire organization was getting doxxed in real-time.
15/ Lots of Patriot Front boys are losing their jobs this weekend.

Others may be getting rounded up for federal hate crime charges.
16/ Today Patriot Front got off the red line at Shady Grove and drove from there.

Personal vehicles had tape over the license plates… until they didn’t.

Several anti-fascists got off at the station, ripped off tape, took pics.

Others had cars already staged there. 😉
17/ ENHANCE.
18/ Flounder here definitely heard someone call his real name from the crowd.
19/ Same guy, or nah?

Dude in the mask seemed super mad that we were waiting in the Shady Grove metro parking lot for Patriot Front.

Wasn’t psyched about being followed for an hour either.

Big mad.

A school board meeting in Florida was evacuated last night after a Proud Boy attacked someone.

This particular PB has a rap sheet which includes carrying a concealed unlicensed firearm and trying to fight cops.

But don’t worry, Gov @RonDeSantisFL is helping… sue teachers?
Clarification: Wednesday night - Dec 15. I didn't take "Miami time" + my insomnia into account.
This event has received precisely ZERO coverage because no reporters were there.

Video: Proud Boy affiliate begins speaking at around 5hrs, 20 mins, accusing Board of conspiracy to cover up pedophilia. Board abruptly evacuates at just after 5hrs, 36 mins

As someone…

> whose first name means “bearer of Christ,”
> who owns a small business,
> served in the military,
+ who is an expert in extremism and disinformation,

I’d really like to have a sit-down discussion with @JohnAvlon about this.

cc: @brikeilarcnn + @JohnBerman
False equivalency between extremism left and right here is incredibly inaccurate (see FBI crime data) and irresponsible (disinformation feeds extremism).

Equating “the left wants taxes on people in my tax bracket to rise” with rightwing *deadly* racism, trans/homophobia, sexism?
Anyone who watches @JohnAvlon in the morning knows that he knows better than this. I’ve heard him do segments on the false equivalency problem. Frankly, I’m not just angry about this, I’m confused. How could he look at this graphic and approve, let alone say the words?

If you’re in the DC area and see Penske, UHaul, or similar trucks that aren’t filled with freight, take out your camera and start filming. That’s how the Patriot Front typically gets in and out of the city. They’re likely staying at a private residence in nearby rural/suburbs.
Moving trucks will be noticeable because they’ll be staged together or traveling in a convoy. The trucks, if moving, are likely to have dozens of men inside at the moment. If @DCPoliceDept pulls them over — unmask to identify members of the nation’s most active hate group.
If you live in #DC, #Maryland or #Virginia, you should be calling on your governor to put state troopers on alert, and immediately begin investigations to find out where the Patriot Front is traveling to and from. This hate group’s objective is genocide. Members live near you.

NEW: Last night nazis of Charlottesville-riot-infamy instructed thousands of followers to mass-report accounts of 48 journalists, anti-racist activists, + anti-fascist researchers for retroactive "violations" of @TwitterSafety's new "Private Information Policy." Some down already
Check @chadloder's thread here for a list of accounts impacted by the nazi-led harassment campaign. It's pretty telling that even tweets in that very thread have been taking down for violating Twitter's new rules:

Seems the nazis upset. Naturally they move from whining about me to launching attacks at @ADL

Now that you’re reading, let’s #MakeANaziCry!

Please follow, support, donate to @IntegrityforUSA, the group that #SuedANazi (9 of them) over racist violence in Charlottesville.

My childhood dream of Army service became a living nightmare. At 19, my job was to document torture, death. Mutilated human faces stuck in my mind's eye. It left me incredibly vulnerable in so many ways.

I've been lucky to find other ways to serve, heal.

washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
2/ For years after I got out of the Army I had frequent, incredibly vivid nightmares of my friends getting hurt or killed. It quickly reached a point where I couldn't remember which of my friends were casualties in real life.
3/ As a way to help with my constant confusion, I kept every issue of the @MilitaryTimes, which was the only print publication I knew of at the time to print the names and photos of every KIA in Iraq and Afghanistan. I kept them stuffed in a bag, with photos I had taken in Iraq.

🧵 Today at 10am EST the House Committee on Veterans Affairs will hold a hearing "Domestic Violent Extremist Groups and the Recruitment of Veterans." Video feed and written statements for record will be in this link.

veterans.house.gov/events/hearing…
2/ I've opted to not submit a statement for the record.

The committee's Majority staff have a draft of the statement for the record that I had prepared, and are free to use the information within as they deem appropriate to inform their investigation and their Members.
3/ After weeks of struggling with it, I ultimately decided not to submit a statement for the record because I felt that I could not self-censor and withhold certain content for the sole purpose of "not triggering Republican Members of the Committee."
