@AlissaAzar In a 9/6/21 leaked audio chat, Patriot Front Pacific Northwest (Network 8) leader Colton Brown said “Idaho guys… aren’t the most reliable”
@AlissaAzar Patriot Front members have repeatedly targeted the LGBTQ community - leaked calls show that their PNW chapter (which includes Idaho) planned the destruction of a gay pride mural in Olympia, WA last October: unicornriot.ninja/2022/patriot-f…
One Idaho-based member of Patriot Front using the moniker 'Johnny ID' crossed state lines to help his fellow neo-nazis wreck the @cityofolympia gay pride mural. His leaked messages from PF's RocketChat server can be browsed here: discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/rocket-chat/us…
'Johnny Idaho' and other Patriot Front members from Washington & Oregon defaced the @cityofolympia gay pride mural in the early a.m. of Oct. 16, 2021. The next day they held a meeting where the debriefed on details of their bias-motivated vandalism:
One Patriot Front leader arrested in #CoeurDAlene today is Kieran Morris - he lives w PF founder & wannabe cowboy dictator Thomas Rousseau at PF HQ in Haslet, TX.
In Patriot Front files we leaked, Kieran Patrick Morris is seen climbing onto a restricted railway bridge in Dallas, TX in Sept. 2021 to spray paint Nazi graffiti.
Other leaked video shows Kieran Morris training Patriot Front members for organized street violence during demonstrations they attend under the leadership of himself or Thomas Rousseau (Rousseau seen here on right w tank top, clipboard).
In this video, Kieran Morris aka ‘Patrick TX‘ tells the Patriot Front "shield wall" team training under him that their shields are meant to “be intimidating” against liberal and anti-racist counter-protesters.
Patriot Front members arrived in a rented box truck in #CoeurDAlene, Idaho today before being arrested. They often use this method of transport despite members telling leader Thomas Rousseau that being crammed in an unventilated windowless U-Haul often makes them panic and vomit:

Breaking: #CoeurDAlene and Idaho police just announced in a press conference that 31 people from the Patriot Front seeking to confront the #Pride event group were arrested and charged with Conspiracy to Riot.
Patriot Front's founder & leader Thomas Rousseau seems to have been among the 31 PF members arrested and charged with Conspiracy to Riot in connection with actions against #Pride activities in #CoeurDAlene, Idaho today. (Image source:

A deposition of Rousseau was played in federal court last year - he was grilled about his extensive role in planning violence at the August 2017 #UniteTheRight rally in Charlottesville.
Vanguard America was found liable for $1 million in a civil suit brought by survivors of brutal racist violence at the Charlottesville rally Rousseau helped organize: unicornriot.ninja/2021/jury-26m-…
(Rousseau rebranded Vanguard America as Patriot Front after the Charlottesville rally.)
Another Patriot Front leader among those arrested at today's #CoeurDAlene, Idaho #Pride event: Graham Jones Whitson works for neo-nazi propaganda outlet Media2Rise. He's roommates w Thomas Rousseau & Kieran Morris at PF HQ in TX.
Graham Whitson aka 'Mason TX', like Thomas Rousseau and Kieran Morris, leads drilling activities where Patriot Front members are trained to participate in violent fascist street marches.
'Joshua UT' can be seen on the far left in this picture from a leaked photo/video album from a Patriot Front camping/training trip to Mt. Zion National Park in Utah on Nov. 19, 2021. You can browse that album here: vault.unicornriot.ninja/patriotfrontle…
This unnamed Patriot Front arrestee is 'ND - Christopher AL', one of the neo-nazi group's Network Directors based in Alabama.
In this portion of a leaked Sept. 2, 2021 Patriot Front meeting, ‘ND - Christopher AL’ encourages members to “redpill” their friends and family on “the JQ” aka “the Jewish question”, a classic Nazi conspiracy trope that was used to justify the Holocaust.
The Patriot Front member being arrested in this livestream screenshot is more than likely Patriot Front Network 8 member 'David WA'.
(L image: North Country Off Grid. R: Unicorn Riot/PF leaks)
According to 'David WA', the point of Patriot Front's vandalism is to "show people that you can do something like this, and you can get away with it." He also refers to Jews as "Lucifer."
('David WA' planned and took part in the Oct. 2021 @cityofolympia pride mural vandalism.)
Another Patriot Front arrest in #CoeurDAlene, #Idaho: James Julius Johnson aka 'Tyler WA.'
Johnson/'Tyler' is an active member of PF's Pacific Northwest 'Network 8' chapter and was involved in destroying the @cityofolympia gay pride mural.
Also charged w Criminal Conspiracy after being arrested straight out of a U-Haul today is Justin O'Leary aka 'Ethan WA'. He was also involved in wrecking the Olympia, WA pride mural last year.
Here's a recording of Justin O'Leary's IRL interview to join Patriot Front: He said he was led to the group online after following far-right/fascist content creators like Nick Fuentes.
Patriot Front member Steven Derrick Tucker aka 'Don TX' on Rocketchat also arrested today in relation to #CoeurDAlene, #Idaho anti-#Pride mobilization and charged with Criminal Conspiracy/Riot.
Patriot Front's Pacific Northwest Network 8 Director Colton Michael Brown ('ND - John WA') also arrested and charged w Conspiracy/Riot in #CouerDAlene today.
We recently published over a dozen hours of meetings of where Colton Brown aka 'ND - John WA' repeatedly directs/pressures his chapter's members, including minors, to commit racist vandalism on behalf of Patriot Front: unicornriot.ninja/2022/patriot-f…
Back in September 2020 Brown's activities with Patriot Front got the attention of local WA detectives working with an FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force:
We can confirm that the Wesley Evan Van Horn booked in #CoeurDAlene today is Patriot Front's Alabama Network Director 'ND - Christopher AL'. He prev. traveled to DC for Patriot Front's December 4, 2021 march.
Wesley Evan Van Horn aka 'ND - Christopher AL' is a committed antisemite and works to grow Patriot Front's ability to intimidate people of color and LGBTQ communities in the American southeast.
Patriot Front member Spencer Thomas Simpson arrested yesterday is tied to the Rocketchat alias ‘David WA’, he’s been involved in numerous acts of racist and homophobic vandalism in the Pacific Northwest & thinks Jews all go to hell.
NEW▶️“Who Watches the Watchmen?” Community Resistance in Long Beach, California [Commentary]
Rapid response & patrol teams have become an effective strategy in deterring ICE activity and creating relationships with vulnerable populations affected by ICE.unicornriot.ninja/2026/commentar…
“Rapid response groups are geography based, and the more concentrated and focused and at scale that geography is, the more effective the rapid response group is,” states James Suazo, the Executive Director of Long Beach Forward.
“It usually entails people who are trained or familiar with what to do, how to document, [and] how to potentially intervene if that’s what the group has agreed upon. And really trying to quickly respond in an emergency.” - James Suazo
On January 7, an ICE agent shot and killed an observer near 33rd and Portland Aves., only the most recent in a series of abuses of power that have steadily mounted in recent weeks. The Minneapolis Police Department once again appeared on the scene for “crowd control."
Local police arrived after federal agents sprayed chemicals on residents who responded to the shooting – part of a larger pattern in Minnesota of integrated police actions between federal, county and local law enforcement.
New: Cop City RICO Cases Dismissed Years After 61 Activists Charged as Criminal Conspiracy
Racketeering charges against dozens indicted as co-conspirators in the Stop Cop City movement were dismissed yesterday marking a legal victory for the movement
The dismissal comes after more than two years of attempted prosecution that sought to convict protesters who opposed Atlanta’s sprawling police training facility, known as Cop City, as an organized criminal enterprise.
In September, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kevin Farmer said from the bench that he planned to dismiss the charges, but the decision was only made official yesterday.
8 years ago today: A coalition of neo-nazi groups held the so-called "#UniteTheRight" rally in Charlottesville, VA - after planning online for months to carry out racially motivated violence.
The even ended early after being outnumbered by militant antifascists.
Police stood down most of the day as fascist groups openly carried out attacks while using slurs. After the rally was shut down, one neo-nazi ran into protesters with his car, killing Heather Heyer.
(The cop keeping the road closed had been allowed to leave her post earlier.)
Virginia State Troopers monitoring protesters discussed wanting to mass arrest anti-racists - who they called "motherfuckers" - shortly before the car attack.
(See our 2019 story: "Neo-Nazi Gets Multiple Life Sentences In Federal Prison for Charlottesville Car Attack")
During the first Trump administration we obtained hundreds of pages of special agent manuals from ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in full - we released w/o redactions. It includes everything from denaturalization, to 'special response teams' to undercover operations:
Icebreaker Pt 1 – Secret Homeland Security ICE/HSI Manual for Stripping US Citizenship unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
"...denaturalization efforts are in line with the Trump Administration’s policies stripping DACA and Temporary Protected Status from hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have been contributing to this country for years." — Jennifer Chang Newell, managing attorney with the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project
Icebreaker Pt 2 – Confidential Homeland Security Asset Forfeiture and Search and Seizure Handbooks unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
"the [handbooks] ... exposes the inner workings of an extrajudicial system that has destroyed people’s lives without due process. This shadow system skirts the checks and balances that have traditionally staved off at least some abuses of power and gives the elite who run this country the unfettered ability to manipulate outcomes.” – Michelle Gross, Communities United Against Police Brutality
Current DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has often espoused racist and anti-immigrant rhetoric tied to the neo-nazi-originated “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory and embraces adopting anti-LGBTQ policies. Oh and she shot the family dog.
Mike Huckabee is Trump's ambassador to Israel.
He's rubbed elbows with actual white supremacists (Council of Conservative Citizens, pro-segregation), demonized gay people, and claimed "there's no such thing as a Palestinian."
