WATCH THIS THREAD. We will be on the ground covering the Miami Trump indictment circus today. Stay tuned for more.
1/
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/
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.
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.
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.
A peak into the wild delusions of right wing Trump Twitter here — this is 100% not happening.
11/
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/
Getting in front of the cameras is far-right bigot & true to life Billy Jigsaw character Laura Loomer at the Miami courthouse.
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.
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.
16/
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/
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.
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! 🍺

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.
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!
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/
This appears to be MAGA Christian pastor Shane Vaughn telling people to speak English.
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/
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.
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!
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.

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/
The Allen, TX mall shooter has been revealed to be Latino with connections to white supremacist politics & wearing a “Right Wing Death Squads” patch.
Here’s a collage of Cuban members of the Miami Proud Boys sporting “RWDS” slogans and embracing Pinochet. 1/
Another Cuban Miami Proud Boy who has sported a “RWDS” patch and embraced violent pro-Pinochet rhetoric is Pedro Barrios, a former GOP candidate + @MiamiDadeGOP executive committee member, social worker and past leader of member of Coral Gables Masonic Lodge 260. 2/
“They [Cuba] need a Pinochet”
In July 2021 Cuban American Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio hosted a podcast-livestream featuring a Pinochet family member and praising his regime which killed and tortured in the tens of thousands. 3/
New video released of Miami Proud Boys on a private jet funded by former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne. They flew from CPAC in TX to do street fighting in DC at the Stop the Steal rally.
Miami Proud Boy and former Miami GOP committeeman Gilbert Fonticoba — known for ironing his beard.
Currently laying low as he’s facing felony charges for his involvement in Jan 6 — he was on the front lines and inside the Capitol. #SumoPB#RightHandPB 2/
Proud Boy & former Army Captain Gabriel Garcia. One time Miami GOP committeeman & 2020 FL House candidate.
Garcia is under house arrest for his felony J6 charges — he live-streamed himself inside the Capitol & stated in texts that he brought a knife “for offense.” #PBGarcia 3/
Since his name was mentioned in testimony at the Proud Boy conspiracy trial by PB witness George “Asher” Meza #RabbiPB, it’s time for a reintroduction…
