Yesterday the @MiamiHerald published an article on Miami Lakes parent Daily Salinas who challenged several books such as The ABCs of Black History.
But what they didn’t report & we will reveal is Salinas’ ties to far-right groups like M4L & open support of the Proud Boys. 🧵 1/
While we are glad that @MiamiHerald is highlighting book censorship in schools locally, their coverage here shows an ongoing pattern of failing to do the most basic research & reporting on the players & politics behind local school board politics. 2/
A quick look through the social media of Miami parent Daily Salinas who filed the book challenge would show she’s activist w far-right group Moms for Liberty.
But also her support for the Proud Boys + antisemitic “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” conspiracy content. 3/
In this video from a Miami school board meeting in July 2022 we can see Daily Salinas together with other members of Moms for Liberty disrupting the meeting with shouts and interjections. Police nearly escorted her out of the meeting. 4/
Miami book banning parent Daily Salinas also attended a Proud Boy organized rally in Hialeah in November 2022 in support of white supremacist Marco Rubio canvasser Christopher Monzon, who falsely claimed he was beaten for political reasons. 5/
Not only did Daily Salinas attend the Proud Boy organized rally in support of Rubio canvasser Christopher Monzon, previously arrested for attacking protesters with a confederate flag, she was also captured alongside his close supporters when he was released from the hospital. 5/
In addition to being active with Moms for Liberty at the Miami school board, book banning parent Daily Salinas has also been active with Christian nationalist group CCDF. 6/
And surprising absolutely no one book banning parent and far-right Proud Boy supporter Daily Salinas was active in campaigning for DeSantis backed Miami Dade candidate Roberto Alfonso @RobertoAlonsoFL who currently holds a seat on the Miami school board. 7/
Be sure to read the alt-text for extra details.
You will find that we also documented Daily Salinas attending an anti-mask protest in August 2021 outside the Miami school board organized by a Proud Boy front group.
Here Salinas is alongside Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio. 8/
Not only did Daily Salinas attend the Hialeah Proud Boy rally for a white supremacist, but her + husband Alberto Rego, RBT who has previously worked as a behavioral therapist in Miami — marched into a local neighborhood to intimidate family members related to the incident. 9/
Here’s Alberto Rego, husband of Miami book banning parent Daily Salinas, alado attending an August 2021 anti-mask protest outside the school board alongside the Proud Boys. 10/
Bonus content:
Daily Salinas reposting conspiracy content on Madonna from QAnon influencer Natly Denise and made up stuff on antifa. 😂😂 11/
As we’ve posted times before:
If you attend Proud Boy rallies and roll with Moms for Liberty and similar groups to school board meetings, prepare to have your name and face forever posted on the internet for the world to see.
Con mucho, mucho amor @threadreaderapp unroll and make a permanent archive of this post.
Oh and in case you’re thrown off, for social media Daily Salinas uses “Daily Rego” the last name of her husband Alberto Rego.
Anyone notice noticed this made up post on “A.N.T.I.F.A” by Miami book banner parent Daily Salinas?
Extra funny considering she got made famous after being outed by real antifa. 😂😂
There’s always more… here’s Miami book banner parent & far-right activist Daily Salinas and her now banned YouTube channel “Hablando Como Las Locas” with co-host Maylin Villalonga and their guest Miami QAnon maven and “christo-fascist” Isabella Rodriguez aka #RedPillBabe.
MORE: Miami book banning parent Daily Salinas hosted a Spanish YouTube podcast called “Hablando Como Los Locos” which posted an episode with the caption “Learn more about Kanye West, his polemic, his message” on Dec 5, 2022 the same week he praised Hitler and posted a swastika.
Daily Salinas co-hosted “Hablando Como Los Locos” together with far-right activist and former Hialeah city council candidate Maylin Villalonga.
Recent postings by co-host Maylin show that the channel was recently banned after 50 videos and building up 3,000 subscribers.
We also captured the “Hablandos Como Los Locos” account commenting in the live chat of another YouTube @TeamYouTube “Mostly Peaceful Latinas” on the subject of Ye / Kanye West which was filled with antisemitic euphemisms like “(((They))) proved Kanye’s point” and “the J-word.”
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/

In 2022 he was one of several Proud Boys who signed on as local poll workers w @MDCElections 3/
