The gangs all here — we have Proud Boys, Moms for Liberty, book banners and all the usual suspect far-right extremists outside the Miami school board @MDCPS right now campaigning against LGBTQ History Month.

Let’s name the names! 🔥😈🧵 1/ Image
First up, we have we have book Miami banner, Proud Boys supporter and Elders of Zion poster Daily Salinas. She claimed she’s not part of M4L but her posting for selfies begs to differ.

She also refused all media interviews, so now is your chance! 😂 2/



Image
Image
The M4L caucus is one stand by! Maylin Villalonga (white shirt back to camera), Eulalia Jimenez (arrow), QAnon flat earther Isabella Rodriguez #RedPillBabe (jean jacket), book banner Daily Salinas (glasses) and realtor Lourdes Galban. 3/ Image
Looks like Moms for Liberty finally picked up a new member. We will soon learn who she is. 😈 4/
Image
Image
Special extra shout out to Lourdes Galban, realtor for Lokation Realty. 👋

Who wants to buy homes from a far-right extremist & book banner? @lokationre 5/

Image
Image
Image
@lokationre Also spotted outside the school board is Palm Beach, FL lawyer Cory Strolla who operates as Strolla Law.

Last year he attended the Hialeah Proud Boys rally in support of white supremacist Rubio canvasser Christopher Monzon. Yikes! 6/


Image
Image
Image
Image
@lokationre Among the seven Proud Boys who showed up, most of whom had to be imported from hours away, is president & discount rack Liver King “Miami Lex” and his flag boy wearing the sun glasses. 7/
Image
Image
@lokationre Next up for the Proud Boys we have Micheal Anderson aka “Wolf Blitzkrieg” of Jacksonville, FL, believed to be a current or former DOD employee working at FRCSE, Fleet Readiness Center Southeast.

Would you trust this pro-insurrection extremist handling military secrets? 8/
Image
Image
Mr. Buckeyes mask Proud Boy is one we’ve seen before in front of the school board but he really doesn’t need it because we already have his full face here. 9/
Image
Image
This woman made the mistake of taking selfies as soon as the gang of Proud Boys thugs showed up to the school board.

Bad idea, now we have your face forever. 📸 /10
Image
Image
We said “we will soon learn who she is” and just like that we did.

Looks like Miami Moms for Liberty hasn’t recruited a new member after all. Instead they brought Catalina Stubbe, director of M4L Hispanic outreach staffer, former Miss World Colombia + washed up actress. 11/
Image
We also see that Catholic boomer fascist group TFP (Tradition, Family, Property) has been mobilizing against LGBTQ History Month too.

With roots in the Brazilian far-right going back to the military dictatorship era, the group has been banned by the Miami Archdiocese. 12/
Image
Some nice pics of Miami book banning parent & Proud Boys supporter Daily Salinas inside and outside of the school board meeting.

Riding the current wave of anti-gay bigotry & trans panic, of course she would turn out to oppose LGBTQ History Month. 13/
Image
Image
Also ironic seeing Isabella, the flat earth QAnon who hosts “Mostly Peaceful Latinas” podcast with Linda Cuadros huddling & chatting it up with M4L head Eulalia Jimenez when last year they called her a ghetto, hot mess for chasing Proud Boys. 😂

14/
And there’s still more people to name at the Miami school board @MDCPS opposing LGBTQ History Month!

Once again, let’s meet Herbert Silver, an 80+ year old geriatric Proud Boy who is now using a walker. He’s long been a fixture at their rallies, events and socials. 15/
Image
Image
@MDCPS Next up we have the very predictable Joli Mayra, the anti-immigrant immigration attorney & Enrique Tarrio chaser.

No matter how hard she prays she’s never gonna wash off the stank from him. 🤮 16/



Image
Image
@MDCPS Next up at the Miami school board against LGBTQ History Month we have a gem of a video about a looming “communist takeover” & dangerous “Fa-del regime.” 😂

Meet QAnon conspiracy blogger running Patriots Perspective & Miami Commission District 2 candidate Christi Tasker. 17/
@MDCPS Sadly local media has yet to google her and still treat this dedicated conspiracy wacko like a legitimate candidate.

Christi Tasker who is a social media marketer running for Miami Commissioner District 2 has a blog featuring Proud Boys and packed with QAnon content. 18/ Image
@MDCPS Christi Tasker talks about interviewing a military general warning on communist take over, but she actually means disgraced former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn — linked to Jan 6, Russia collaborator and deeply linked to QAnon lore.

Can’t make this up! 19/

@MDCPS Can we talk about grandpa Proud Boy here?

They must be recruiting out of retirement communities in central Florida — we await the announcement of The Villages Proud Boy Chapter. 😂 20/ Image
@MDCPS And once again, let’s say hello to far-right activist Maylin Villalonga.

A failed candidate for Hialeah city council, she’s known for doing a podcast interview with Lourdes Galban inside the personal studio of Enrique Tarrio with him as the producer (2nd pic, bottom right) 21/
Image
Image
@MDCPS As predicted, dedicated anti-vax QAnon poster Jennifer De Paz spoke against LGBTQ History Month.

She managed to take her pills and avoid anything overly unhinged but previous posts talk about the “perverted agenda” of LGBTQ ppl existing and skinning people alive. 22/
@MDCPS Another returning specimen is Aileen Acevedo Campbell, the former owner of Brickel Arts Gallery & ACRS Worldwide.

Previously spotted at an LGBTQ hate rally outside a Miami Target rally with flat earther QAnon singer Jimmy Levy & with the Christian Family Coalition. 23/
Image
@MDCPS For some context on Aileen Campbell & her kind, in 2021 her husband was shot outside a Miami Hooters and later died.

But it was later ruled self-defense after witnesses said he made “several racist threats” before hand. Welp! 24/

wsvn.com/news/local/mia…
Image
@MDCPS Let’s also talk about one of the Proud Boy fan girls snapping selfies with violent far-right gang members outside the school board.

Say hello to Danaisy Serrano Valero of Homestead, FL @Danaisy_Oficial and there’s so much more to say about her! 25/
All photos from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of far-right extremism.
@MDCPS @Danaisy_Oficial Danaisy Serrano is part of an extreme right Cuban exile group CPGA, Consejo Para la Guerra Anticomunista or Council for Anticommunist War with slogans like “county or bullets” & advocates armed intervention to Cuba. Even crackpots like Alex Otaola keep their distance. 26/ Image
@MDCPS @Danaisy_Oficial In addition to being part of Alph 66 version 2.0 Danaisy Serrano had this flyer on her social media blatantly lying that LGBTQ History Month would eliminate Hispanic Heritage Month and submit minors to “brain wash” for an extremist sexual agenda. 26/ Image
@MDCPS @Danaisy_Oficial Underlining the bigotry opposing LGBTQ History Month is this boomer rant from Sergio de Paz with TFP, a Catholic fascist group banned by the Miami Archdiocese:

“God punished the world with Sodom & Gomorrah, if you vote yes then you’re voting for Sodom & Gomorrah” 27/
@MDCPS @Danaisy_Oficial Let’s meet another fanatical bigot from the Catholic fascist group banned by the Miami Archdiocese, TFP (Tradition, Family, Property / Our Lady Fatima).

His name is Max Tovar who operates as Mediamax International and he has big thoughts on gay people and vaccines. 🤮 28/ Image
@MDCPS @Danaisy_Oficial Next up we have Vermin Vasquez sporting a hat for Christian nationalist group linked to Michael Flynn, CDF Citizens Defending Freedom.

And of course he was a regular at events with Floridians First and Latinos for Trump, which both fronts for the Miami Proud Boys. 29/ Image
@MDCPS @Danaisy_Oficial *Correction: This is Proud Boys associate Fermin Vasquez of Miami sporting the CDF hat.
@MDCPS @Danaisy_Oficial Proud Boy Alert 🚨

Spotted in the audience last week at the Miami school board @MDCPS opposing LGBTQ History Month is Jan 6th rioter, Miami GOP activist and Proud Boy, Chris Barcenas.

Currently a realtor working in construction management. #USAPB

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/ Image
Forgiato Blow, aka Kurt Jantz, attended Jan 6 and appeared multiple times alongside now imprisoned former Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio. 2/

Details here: floridapolitics.com/archives/49509…
Image
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/

Wearing the brown shirt is then national Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio.   All photos & information from public sources and posted as part of our ongoing coverage of the far-right.
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/

And of course there’s more!

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/🧵 Top: Screen shot posted by former Miami Proud Boy Chris Barcenas. Search his hashtag #USAPB for our extensive reporting on him.   Left: Barcenas in front of the Capitol building on J6.

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.   Gabriel Garcia was convicted in November 2023 but awaits sentencing for his Jan 6 charges...
