WATCH THIS THREAD. We will be on the ground covering the Miami Trump indictment circus today. Stay tuned for more.

1/ Image
First on the scene is Micheal Symonette aka “Micheal the Black Man” of Blacks for Trump. Close ally of the Miami Proud Boys & recently associated w the -48 QAnon cult.

Former member of the Miami antisemitic Yahweh Ben Yahweh cult and really his politics haven’t changed. 2/
For background on Symonette and his Proud Boy + cult associations, start with this thread.

Sadly most media see “black people holding Trump signs” and don’t go any further.

3/
We are expecting to see far-right personality Chris Nelson.

Known as a “DeSimp” DeSantis supporter, we’ve extensively documented his association with a PB Enrique Tarrio, promotion of anti-LGBTQ hate and record of harassing children, domestic violence and substance abuse.

4/ Image
Watch Chris Nelson in his words. Later after a truck intentionally left skid marks on the Pride mural, he floated calling it an “epic burnout.”

5/
Spotted in Doral yesterday was Miami GOP activist & Proud Boy/M4L ally, Ruth Swanson.

6/
We are also expecting on the QAnon inspired beard ironing singer Jimmy Levy.

He’s featured in the “Boycott Target” video & the other week led a tiny anti-LGBTQ rally outside a Miami store. Alongside him are Proud Boy Alex Bermudez (center w hand raised) & Ruth Swanson.

7/ ImageImage
All the freaks coming out of the woodwork here.

This is local bike riding harasser Chaunce O’Conner has a long history & we have previously documented him at anti-vaccine protests alongside the Proud Boys.

8/ Image
Meet up in the Trump supporter freak show happening in front of the Miami court house — a man named Osmany with a pig head on a stick.

And yes, it’s real.

9/ Image
Arriving on the scene is far-right Miami streamer Rafael Gomez aka “Ragomonkey.”

This click bait clout chaser has previously called to execute homeless people and shouted “long live Putin” at a city council public comment.

10/
https://t.co/I46nxYIOic
A peak into the wild delusions of right wing Trump Twitter here — this is 100% not happening.

11/ Image
We have our first Proud Boy on the scene at the Miami Trump indictment

Likely it’s Alex Gonzalez from the tiny pro-Enrique Tarrio faction called Villain City Proud Boys. He’s standing by but not standing down with bad breath and reeking like piss.

12/ ImageImage
Getting in front of the cameras is far-right bigot & true to life Billy Jigsaw character Laura Loomer at the Miami courthouse.

13/ Image
It’s not even 11am and the crowd gathered outside the courthouse for the Trump indictment this morning is half media setting up to cover the event.

The other half is a rogues gallery of D-list MAGA and far-right clout chasers & streamer types.

14/
Speaking of far-right clout chasers…

Chris Nelson, who’ve documented promoting Nick Fuentes + participating in Nazi chat groups, is getting roasted by the Trumpers for being a DeSantis simp.

15/ Image
NEW: At the Miami court house covering the Trump indictment for Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe is far-right photographer & stringer for Only in Dade @ONLYinDADE — “Adriano” or “badhombre_productions” who wants to go “defcon” on the media.

Read alt-text for more.

At the Miami courthouse awaiting the Trump indictment is Nazi streamer Baked Alaska — fresh out of jail for his Jan 6 charges.

He’s being interviewed on a low quality stream by far-right figure Josh Fulfer AKA Oreo Express. Known Proud Boy and J6er associate.

17/ Image
Good reference post on the brain melting racist drivel that “Blacks for Trump,” led by Proud Boy associate Maurice Symonette aka “Micheal the Black Man,” has on their website.

18/
Two of the worst people in the world are currently fighting.

Far-right freaks Laura Loomer on the bull horn and Chris Nelson with Hawaiian shirt and hair highlights, are going at it over Trump v DeSantis.

19/
Only the worst of the worst today:

Cartoon MAGA rapper & Proud Boy associate Forgiato Blow out at the Miami courthouse chasing clout with a literal QR code sign. 😂

20/
Fun fact about Baked Alaska at the Miami courthouse today. He’s so dumb and racist he almost blinded himself with spoiled milk. 🥛

21/
QAnoner for Trump. Pic from early this morning at the Miami courthouse. #TrumpIndicment

22/ Image
Local press echoing what everyone is seeing on the ground at the Miami courthouse #TrumpIndicment:

More press than protesters & mostly streamers.

23/
Hey Chris Nelson @ReOpenChris,

How was your slug fest with Laura Loomer calling you a simp for DeSantis? Can’t wait for your next substance abuse fueled bender & Twitter meltdown. Cheers! 🍺

24/ Image
Local commentary on Miami politics:

Don’t tell all the Hialeah and Miami Springs GOP club types that the vast majority of the white MAGA crowd hate them and would tell their cubano asses “Go back to Mexico!” in a heartbeat.

25/
What did we tell you? This MAGA streamer is yelling at various people “Speak English!”

They hate Miami and our people.

26/ ImageImage
Spotted in the Miami Trump indictment protest crowd.

Wife beater and pants pisser Proud Boy Joseph Anthony Dellagatta, aka Joey Dells, aka “yellow laces” of Boca Raton, FL.

In 2022 he was seen at the Hialeah PB rally in support of white supremacist Chris Monzon.

27/ ImageImage
A protester just jumped in front of Trump’s motorcade leaving the courthouse and promptly gets tackled by Secret Service. … It’s never a dull moment in Miami!

28/
Stopping for a photo op are Miami QAnon maven + J6er Isabella Rodriguez #RedPillBabe & “christo-fascist” instagrammer Linda Catalina Cuadros #WakeUpWithLinda (click hashtags 4 more).

We’ve extensively documented their promotion of Putin, antisemitism & calls for violence.

29/ Isabella Rodriguez #RedPill...
This appears to be MAGA Christian pastor Shane Vaughn telling people to speak English.

H/t to @KiraResistance

30/ ImageImage
Finally making a promised appearance is Jimmy Levy @JimmyLevyMusic, the former American Idol contestant who flipped into far-right conspiracy politics.

He was spotted milling around the dwindling crowd with several underage members of his flat earth QAnon sect.

31/ Image
And once again we have an appearance by sapo face QAnon Isabella Rodriguez and her fascist side kick Linda Catalina Cuadros, owner of El Santo Mercado Jewelry (saintshopjewelry).

Both await their inevitable Anita Bryant treatment.

#RedPillBabe #WakeUpWithLinda

32/
Look who else shows up at Trump’s Miami indictment:

Anti-masker leopard print lady & Proud Boy lover Cindy Falco DiCorrado from Boynton Beach. Cindy has a long history of deranged racist comment and looks like she’s suffocating from her own scarf!

33/ Image
Looks like we have a new Proud Boy associate spotted outside the Miami courthouse for Trump’s indictment.

This cowboy hat with a distinctive silver chain and wrist tattoos was spotted in the PB contingent at a December 2022 anti-LGBTQ hate rally in Fort Lauderdale.

It’s never a good idea to fund hate — especially when there’s very public records & it’s easy to connect the dots.

Morgan Stanley broker and financial advisor Gregory Hugh Cousins with his office based in Boca Raton, FL found out the hard way. 2/

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

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/ Left: Together at a late 2020 “stop the steal” rally in Washington, DC are former REC member and one time GOP candidate Proud Boy Gabriel Garcia pictured with Barbara Balmaseda. She is a past REC member who served as chair of voter registration, a former Marco Rubio intern & past Miami Young Republican board member. She was indicted in December 2023 for Jan 6 charges and marched alongside the Proud Boy and was inside the Capitol with Gabriel Garcia. See her hashtag #PinkGaiterPBG for more background.
