🚨 Outside the Miami-Dade school board right now — a group of 10+ Miami Proud Boys and allies are huddled around intimidating community members from supporting a resolution to declare LGBTQ History Month for October.
We are going to name them too. Standby.
Fortunately public comments overwhelmingly support LGBTQ History Month: 24 in favor, 12 opposed. 🥳🌈
Let’s meet the Proud Boys: This is Nowell Salgueiro, a Miami Proud Boy with a criminal record and an elected member of the Miami GOP executive committee. @MiamiDadeGOP
This is Alexander Thomas Bermudez #Little1776 wearing a Floridians First shirt, the name of their defunct front group.
Alex has a long criminal rap sheet which includes armed robbery and even drug dealing on school property.
More: Alex Bermudez, the 5 foot 2 inch Proud Boy known as Little 1776, is holding a Floridians First sign while protesting mask mandates in front of the school board in 2021.
Anti-Masks ➡️ Anti-CRT ➡️ Anti-LGBTQ … it’s all the same far-right crowd hopping from issue 2 issue.
This roid rage Proud Boy is known as Lex 305, believed to named Alex and a Westchester landlord. His plastic GF is named Paola Jorge.
He attended the PB Jan 6 press conference in Miami with Alex/Little 1776 and M4L chair Eulalia Jimenez.
Next up is a secret Proud Boy, an 81 year old man named Herbert Silver aka “Vaca Loca.” He’s been hysterically screaming outside there for 4 hours about media, Hitler & more.
He’s a regular at demos & events with the Miami PB + can be seen wearing their hat at a holiday party.
Next up we have Maurice Symonette of “Blacks for Trump” & a regular at Proud Boy functions.
A former member of the anti-Semitic Yahweh Ben Yahweh cult linked to murders and sex abuse, he was recently spotted hanging out w members of the -48 QAnon cult.
Now we have members of the Christian nationalist “Christian Family Coalition” who promote anti-LGBTQ views and several of their speakers at the meeting clearly spoke in favor of end the separation between church and state.
Let’s meet a few of these nut jobs! 😵💫
Fortunately they made it easy for us by announcing their own names!
Say hello to religious bigot Anthony Verdugo, founder and executive director of the Christian Family Coalition, who wants to take Miami back to the Stone Age. 👋
Next we have Aileen Campbell, a “concerned” mother who preaches anti-LGBTQ views as an activist with the Christian Family Coalition in Miami.
We see you Aileen and we’ll be watching for you. 👀
The notorious far-right disinformation account “Gays Against Gr**mers” teamed up with the Miami far-right to fund a billboard truck in front of the school board.
As part of their harassment campaigns GAG recently inspired a bomb threat against a children’s hospital in Boston.
Miami Moms for Liberty leader Eulalia Jimenez-Hincapie (bottom L) looking exhausted & tired today inside the board meeting.
Maybe she’s worried her hate agenda is gonna lose? Maybe thinking about how her masked Proud Boys pals outside are a bad look? Maybe picking her nose? 👃
Also on the scene today at the Miami school, but maybe regretting it now was, was Lindsay Rives (maiden name Lindsay Taylor Nobles) of Odessa in Pasco County, Florida.
She’s a “national media correspondent” for Christian fascist group CCDF and a former college sports reporter.
Is opposition to LGBTQ History Month at the Miami-Dade school board @MDCPS motivated by hatred?
From the mouths of the Proud Boys outside:
“Get that gay shit outta here … f**got” says the PB known as Lex 305 reacting to a trans pride flag. He then gives the white power sign.
The cowardly @MDCPS board sides with voted 8-1 against the resolution.
Here’s Miami CCDF leader Alan Chovel posting as “Voltron Leonidas” celebrating in the telegram channel of local QAnon maven Isabella Rodriguez, aka #RedPillBabe.
Alan also posted pictures of himself attending the attempted January 6th insurrection in DC.
@threadreaderapp unroll and make a permanent archive of this thread.
Also spotted outside the Miami-Dade school board: Christine Nicole Ortega, the Moms for Liberty QAnon crypto-currency stripper.
See the thread below where she drops her panties in front of a cop car to promote her online clothing business.
Next week Miami Young Republicans will host an event opposing #Florida’s Amendment 4 pro-choice ballot measure.
Among the “most influential voices” is antisemitic & pro-Putin podcaster Linda Catalina Cuadros — but that’s just the beginning with @MiamiYRs.
Let’s dive in! 🧵 1/
Miami based influence grifter Linda Cuadros got her start w anti-vaccine & pro-MAGA content but quickly expanded into far-right anti-LGBTQ themes on “globohomo” & support 4 Kanye West.
We also documented her sharing notorious neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin in her Telegram channel.
2/
Linda’s open antisemitism & Putin simp content naturally attracted attention in June when she did a sit down interview w Miami mayor Francis Suarez, earning her local media coverage. #WakeUpWithLinda
One of Florida’s worst creations, white MAGA rapper “Forgiato Blow” aka Kurt Jantz, has just posted that all his YouTube videos were just taken down. 1/
Forgiato Blow, aka Kurt Jantz, attended Jan 6 and appeared multiple times alongside now imprisoned former Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio. 2/
We’ve also documented Forgiato Blow in Miami for a small anti-LGBTQ hate rally directed at Target in June 2023 alongside a Miami Proud Boy & QAnon flat earth singer Jimmy Levy who he collaborated with for his ‘Boycott Target’ track. 3/
Meet the man currently nominated for a Florida State GOP Committeeman seat by the Miami GOP @MiamiDadeGOP.
Former Proud Boy & January 6th rioter Chris Barcenas. #USAPB
1/🧵
Following the scandal caused by NYT coverage of the Proud Boys & allies holding seats on the Miami GOP Republican Executive Committee (REC) in 2022 — many remain active, including Barcenas.
This is also why the Miami GOP keeps membership a secret. 2/
Keep in mind two Proud Boys, Gabriel Garcia & Gilbert Fonticoba, were sitting Miami GOP REC members when indicted for J6 charges. Both since convicted.
A third REC member, Barbara Balmaseda #PinkGaiterPBG, was indicted in Dec 2023 for being inside the Capitol on J6 w Garcia. 3/
Rafael Verde, b. Dec 1968, is behind a string of short lived real estate & investment LLCs & currently “Ice Mountain LLC.”
Public records show a mountain of personal debts — his house went into foreclosure this month & he’s facing two credit card lender lawsuits for $27k. 2/
Proud Boy Rafael Antonio Verde has records for evictions in 2000, 2015, 2018 & another foreclosure in 2006. Former employer Bankers Life & Casualty sued him in 2015 for not returning $12k in commissions — likely signed up fraudulently based on later criminal charges. 3/
NEW: Today we present a special reveal featuring the president of Miami’s Vice City Proud Boys & two associates.
Let’s meet Alejandro “Alex” Reyes, the 50 year old discount rack Liver King who irons his beard & lives in a $2.5 million house in the burbs of Kendall. 1/🧵
Roid raging Proud Boy & president of Miami’s Vice City chapter Alejandro “Alex” Reyes is known for his appearances at the Miami school board @MDCPS opposing LGBTQ history month alongside PB ally groups, Miami Moms for Liberty (RIP) and the Christian Family Coalition. 2/
Miami Proud Boy leader Alejandro “Alex” Reyes has been a fixture at rallies + events & we know he’s the president because his telegram profile tells us: VCPB = Vice City Proud Boys.
In 2022 he was one of several Proud Boys who signed on as local poll workers w @MDCElections 3/
Let’s meet Patrick Bet-David who invited neo-fascist & white supremacist Patriot Front leader Thomas Rousseau, currently facing charges for the tiki torch Nazi march during Unite the Right, to his Fort Lauderdale studio for a ‘friendly chat’ on his PBD Podcast for YouTube.
