TODAY: Right wing media figures affiliated with Blaze TV were joined by masked Proud Boys to taunt a Transgender Storytime event in Denton, Texas today. The right wing media ignored the presence of masked Proud Boys and instead focused exclusively on armed LGBTQ+ supporters. Sara Gonzales of Blaze TV standing near masked Proud Boys in
Here's a nice write up on the Transgender Storytime event by @lmcgaughy.

dallasnews.com/news/2022/11/1…
Meanwhile, outside the Transgender Storytime event in Denton, the group of right wing hecklers included: a small group of masked Proud Boys, members of the Christian Nationalist group the New Columbia Movement, media associated with Blaze TV, and antisemitic Groyper Ali Jamal.
It's hard to exaggerate how consistent the presence of Proud Boys and other right wing militia groups are at these sorts of protests.

A very clear pattern has emerged. Whenever there's an anti-LGBTQ protest in the north Texas area, Proud Boys or militia are guaranteed to be there. Sometimes even open neo-Nazis.

I wish I were exaggerating when I say that the Texas GOP has incited neo-Nazis to harass drag shows and other LGBTQ events. But I'm not.

Unfortunately, when the Texas GOP was approached for comment about neo-Nazis showing up to a drag event they tweeted out, they would not disavow the Nazis.

In the wake of the horrific mass shooting of a Colorado LGBTQ+ nightclub, let's think a bit more deeply about the fact that right wing media people with Blaze TV mock LGBTQ+ people for arming themselves in self defense in response to threats.

cnn.com/2022/11/20/us/…
Shockingly accurate description of events, although still notably lacking any mention of the masked Proud Boys and Christian Nationalists on the other side.
Despite the horrific mass shooting of an LGBTQ bar in Colorado the day after Blaze TV contributor Sara Gonzales mocked LGBTQ people in Denton, Texas for defending themselves with weapons, she has doubled down in the rhetoric.

We identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, @GlomarResponder as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation. Image
Since GlomarResponder was first created in 2012, the account has posted hateful, xenophobic, and pro-fascist content. “America is a White nation, founded by Whites. … Our country should favor us,” GlomarResponder wrote last month.

In August 2024, GlomarResponder posted: "‘Migrants’ are all criminals.”

“Nobody is proposing feeding migrants into tree shredders,” the account posted in March 2024. “Yet. Give it a few more weeks at this level of invasion, and that will be the moderate position.”

SCOOP: The email address Andrew Kloster, the OPM’s new general counsel and self described "raging misogynist," used to sign up for his X/Twitter account appears in a leak for an escort service website. The IP address for the escort service website account is in Washington D.C. Image

As @marisakabas2 reported recently, Andrew Kloster has a history of misogynistic posts online. Today, I can report that Kloster's primary email address cited in this document is associated with an account on an escort service website. Image
The issue at hand here isn't one of morality, but rather a question of whether a high ranking government official could potentially be compromised due to possible interactions that are still technically illegal and could be used as blackmail against him. No shame to the workers.

NEW: Conservative hotelier Monty Bennett and a California-based company that offers protesters-for-hire have seeded an “astroturf” right-wing influence network that has kicked into overdrive to push controversial “Dallas HERO” city charter amendments.
1/
texasobserver.org/dallas-hero-in…
Over the last four years, a number of astroturf groups have been active in Dallas, including a pro-police group called Keep Dallas Safe and a dubious racial justice group called Dallas Justice Now that critics have deemed "fake." Who created and funded them has been a secret.

2/
These astroturf groups have lent their support to the controversial Dallas HERO Initiative city charter amendments, which critics say could cripple Dallas city governance. The amendments are supported by Monty Bennett and are opposed by every city council member in Dallas.

NEW: I've received evidence of an arrest for illegal geese harvesting in Springfield, Ohio. But it wasn't a Haitian immigrant who was arrested. It was a white man named Brian Comer, who shot two geese with a shotgun on a golf course. Image
It turns out that Trump and Vance were not wrong that people are illegally hunting wildlife in Springfield, Ohio — they just accused the wrong person.

Here's the full case report regarding the illegal geese hunting incident in Springfield, Ohio, in which the defendant admits to killing the geese without the necessary permit. Image

I was able to verify that the email belongs to Miller via court docs. The Ashley Madison profile associated with the email was created in 2009 with GPS coordinates in southeast Washington D.C. Miller lived in Washington D.C. at the time, per court docs.

Background reports link Miller to an address in southeast Washington D.C. at the time the Ashley Madison account associated with his email was created. The GPS coordinates in the data leak are approximate and not precise, but do they appear to be associated with IP address.
