"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 Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/
While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
Houraney “recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in Jan 1993” & says “Trump asked him to organise a party” w/ “some of his pageant’s finalists…[A]fter an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein.” 3/14/20 1/
ICYMI, during the 2016 presidential campaign, “Epstein invited [Peter] Thiel and [Thomas] Barrack to separate meetings with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations. **** Thiel, who had several interactions with Epstein starting in 2014, according to the documents, said his Oct 2016 meeting with Epstein & Churkin featured ‘nothing memorable.’
‘I was rather naive,’ Thiel said in an interview, ‘and I didn’t think enough about what Epstein’s agenda might have been.’ Barrack, founder of Colony Capital and a longtime Trump ally, declined to comment.” 1/ archive.is/2023.09.03-150…
Tulsi’s report seems to me like an attempt to distract. As I detailed on Medium, Obama stated in Dec 2016 that, “We have not seen evidence of machines being tampered with *** That doesn’t mean that we find every single potential probe of every single voting machine across the country. But we paid a lot of attention to it. We worked with state election officials, etc. And we feel confident that that didn’t occur.” 1/
If anything, I felt that Obama and others provided false assurances to the public about the legitimacy of Trump’s win in 2016. I explained my concerns in detail here. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…
A whistleblower alleged that staff of Palantir—co-founded by Facebook investor/director Peter Thiel—had worked w/ Cambridge Analytica (CA) on the FB data it acquired. But a Palantir spokesperson claimed Palantir never had a relationship w/ CA & never worked on its data. 5/2018 1/
