“A Twitter account claiming to belong to a national ‘antifa’ organization j pushing violent rhetoric related to ongoing protests has been linked to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, according to a Twitter spokesperson.” 6/1/20 by Ben Collins 1/ nbcnews.com/tech/security/…
4/ I have not separately confirmed Casey’s alleged friendship w/ Stephen Miller. But here’s a photo of Casey’s White House visit in 2019.
5/ The Proud Boys have rallied next to Identity Evropa. This is June 2017.
6/ Reminds me of this: “Boogaloo Boi’ charged in fire of Minneapolis police precinct during George Floyd protest” - 10/23/20 theguardian.com/world/2020/oct…
8/ Also from the Summer of 2020. A single Bible (maybe 2) thrown into a fire as kindling became Portland lefties burn “stacks of Bibles.” archive.ph/2020.08.13-202…
10/ “Man who helped ignite George Floyd riots identified as white supremacist: Police
The suspect wore a mask and carried an umbrella, police said.”
7/29/20 abcnews.go.com/US/man-helped-…
12/ I’m looking into disinformation re BLM and the George Floyd protests and who spread the disinformation bc of this. lawfareblog.com/long-descent-i… Image
13/ Patrick Casey seems potentially important.
19/ Cassandra Fairbanks = a Roger Stone protege.
21/ Roger Stone protege Jack Posobiec pushed hoax about pipe bombs having been planted at the Korean War Memorial during the George Floyd protests. June 2020 #chaosagent #disinformation archive.ph/2021.12.03-042…
22/ “The pipe bomb story was the brainchild of Jack Posobiec, a right-wing personality who’s regularly retweeted by Donald Trump and who works for fledgling Trump cable network One America News. And it came like a five-alarm fire.”
23/ “As of Wednesday afternoon, Posobiec’s tweet had garnered more than 29,000 retweets and 60,000 favorites. *** By Wednesday, Posobiec’s supposed pipe bombs were being cited as fact on a conservative Boston talk radio station. But the pipe bombs were totally made up.” Image
24/ “U.S. Park Police spokesman Sgt. Eduardo Delgado told The Daily Beast in an email that the Park Police never discovered any pipe bombs near the memorial. Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department also had no reports of pipe bombs at the memorial, a spokesperson said Tues.”
25/ “Instead, it appears Posobiec either concocted the claim entirely or, at best, relied on information from deeply flawed sources. Worse, his tweet appears to have wasted law enforcement resources at a crucial time, as … officers scrambled to find the nonexistent pipe bombs.”
26/ “Posobiec and OAN president Charles Herring didn’t respond to a request for comment. The episode shows how fast hoaxes continue to spread online and how real world crises remain the perfect breeding ground for disinformation.“
27/ I haven’t read this yet. The linked report seemed kind of impenetrable at first glance. news.yahoo.com/homeland-secur…
28/ “Ron Wyden … is calling for the FBI to explain how it came to recruit a violent felon as an informant who allegedly infiltrated BLM protests & “encouraged protesters to engage in increasingly violent demonstrations…” 2/14/23 WTF??? theguardian.com/us-news/2023/f…
29/ “The FBI’s infiltration of Black Lives Matter in Denver ‘appears to show another instance of the Trump administration trampling on the rights of Americans in order to divide our country and gain a political advantage’, Wyden said.”
30/ “The FBI owes the public a full accounting of its actions, including how anyone responsible for attempting to entrap and discredit racial justice activists will be held accountable.”
31/ “The actions of the FBI informant, Michael Windecker, or Mickey, as he was known, are revealed in a new 10-episode podcast by the investigative journalist Trevor Aaronson.”
WTAF?!!! “The FBI informant who infiltrated the George Floyd protests (during the Trump regime) “told one BLM leader: ‘I can teach you how to shoot a gun, to hand-to-hand combat, all the way up to like blowing up fucking buildings & guerrilla warfare tactics and sabotage.’” 32/
Joe Biggs, a close friend of Roger Stone, did his best to exacerbate societal divisions in 2020 as well. 34/
They forgot to bring a giant mirror. 35/ Image
36/ May 31, 2020. It’s as if Trump and Joe Biggs were communicating with each other via social media. 👀 Image
44/ “Most charges against George Floyd protesters dropped, analysis shows,” suggesting the charges were bogus. “Some prosecutors and law enforcement observers say departments carried out mass arrests as crowd control tactic” theguardian.com/us-news/2021/a…
45/ h/t post 44 @RealNoraC
46/ More re the “Umbrella Man.”abcnews.go.com/US/man-helped-… Image
48/ I don’t know this guy’s political leanings, if any, but he’s obviously a white dude. archive.ph/2023.02.27-190…
49/ Seems he’s a Trump supporter who used the N-word hatefully on social media, but his brother & sister claimed he was upset by George Floyd’s murder. In any event, he was neither BLM nor Antifa bc of course he wasn’t. chicago.suntimes.com/opinion/2020/6… Image
50/ Wow. Trump and William Barr blamed “Antifa” for violence that erupted during a George Floyd protest in May 2020, but the FBI had no intel supporting that assertion. #disinformation #propaganda #psyops thenation.com/article/activi…
51/ Trump & Barr were and are an absolute disgrace. Image
52/ Another arsonist from the George Floyd protests in May 2020: white dude Wesley Somers.
55/ “Militias flocked to Gettysburg to foil a supposed antifa flag burning, an apparent hoax created on social media,” 7/4/20 (Very interesting read.) washingtonpost.com/investigations…
56/ Same guy from post 6. Image
57/ Roger Stone protege Jack Posobiec promoted the fake claim that “Antifa” planned to attack Gettysburg in the Summer of 2020. Naturally. mediamanipulation.org/case-studies/b… Image

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/ Image
You can read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” for yourself here. This bill expands upon the original so-called “SAVE Act”. 2/ congress.gov/119/bills/hr72…
3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…

The SAVE America Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. Marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those who buy expensive passports or have “Enhanced Drivers Licenses” that do match) 1/Image

The GOP’s “SAVE America Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which misleads bc most Real IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship & thus won’t suffice.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Rs are using public confusion over Real ID to advance their deceptive Save America Act. In reality, for most voters, a Real ID will *not* suffice to prove citizenship under the Act—even if they presented a birth certificate to get it. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE. 202-224-3121 1/ Image

The GOP’s “SAVE Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which is highly misleading bc most REAL IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship, per the DHS.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “ID issued consistent w/ the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen…” 1/ Image
