"When we rolled up [to the school board meeting], it was the scariest scene I've ever seen." There were "over 100 really buff dudes shouting, 'Groomer, pedophile, leave our kids alone!'" -@daisykpgardner, LAUSD mom. Extremists will target Temecula TOMORROW. 1/ #WarOnPublicSchools
This is an excerpt from my interview earlier today with three concerned women from Southern California whose schools sytems have been targeted by far right extremists, including the Proud Boys. You can watch the whole interview here. 2/
5/ Here, @Doro_Slay_Gale explains how a local pastor in Temecula has been targeting Temecula schools since the pandemic.
6/ More on that Temecula pastor. He's hosted Marjorie Taylor Green (MTG) and backed 6 far right school board candidates who won seats on three different school boards.
7/ Florida seems to have provided the playbook for taking over public schools and harassing public teachers, who then flee, resulting in a brain drain that causes the school to collapse, as explained here by Daisy Gardner.
8/ As noted, far right operatives have indicated that they plan to target Temecula's school board meeting tomorrow. They've also been targeting Temecula's superintendent who they apparently want to replace. The far right has already taken over 3 of the 5 school board seats.

“The American Moment ***
A JD Vance-backed project [and partner of Project 2025] wants to smash the institutions of liberal democracy. That's not good.” By Justin Ling, 7/16/24 1/ bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-american…
Americans are sleepwalking into something they don’t understand. Only 9% of CHRISTIANS (and 6% of Americans) share the Christian Right’s extreme “biblical worldview,” per Family Research Council (FRC) president Tony Perkins. This is based on FRC’s OWN DATA - Me w/ @RepRiggleman. 1/
2/ As Denver & I discussed, Perkins is the immediate past president of the Council for National Policy (CNP), the Christian Right’s umbrella. Yes, the CNP includes Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts & SCOTUS kingpin Leonard Leo.
2/ Link to full Interview, which is brilliantly edited to add photos of the key players in America’s Christian extremist web, as Denver and I discuss them.
😳 Heritage Foundation (lead organizer of Project 2025) has on three separate occasions in the last week or two promoted Trump/Heritage alum William Wolfe, a militant fundamentalist Christian and leading figure in the self-professed “Christian Nationalism” movement. 1/
