Tor Gustafsson Brookes AKA "Catboy Kami" is a Far-Right livestreamer from Australia. He was arrested in Williamsburg last night for harassing an Ultra Orthodox Jewish area--broadcasting messages like "Hitler was right." He is staying at an Airbnb. @AirbnbHelp
Screenshot from the "Willaimsburg News" Twitter showing photos of Catboy Kami's arrest. Text says: .@NYPD90Pct with the help of @WspShomrim arrested a perp at Lee Ave & Hooper St for walking around on Lee Ave with a loud speaker that yelled antisemitic slurs."
Pic of Catboy Kami at Stop the Steal in Arizona from the article posted in the next tweet.
You may remember this scumbag because he "hung out" with Nick Fuentes and was also seen with Baked Alaska at a "Stop the Steal" rally in Arizona in 2020.

This is someone Airbnb is "hosting" in NYC.

Due to Juneteenth, Nazis from different initiatives are mobilizing over the weekend to spread their hateful BS. Expect flyers & pop-up banners in some dusty location.

Their main goal is to get into the media. We suggest not giving Nazis what they desperately want!

A thread 👇 Fascists rely on social media to spread their message. This weekend, Nazis are planning to create sock accounts, pretending to be 'outraged' about these actions to seed footage on social media. Patriot Front loves this tactic & other Nazis are adopting it.

There was an abortion access protest in Dallas, Texas today that was protected by armed pro-choice activists. Predictably, online Far Right personalities cried about it. There are many ways to fight fascists, and one way is explained in the excellent zine "40 Ways to Fight Fascists":

It's Sunday of Pride weekend in NYC, with both the Queer Liberation & corporate Pride marches taking place in Manhattan today.

Please be aware of various bad actors w/ cameras that may be out there trying to create content to feed the Far Right video gristmill

A thread 👇 Far Right YouTuber, "Zykotik," is at Pride right now. He was arrested for participating in the J6 siege of the Capitol. He's been active in NYC lately--going to a poorly-attended incel music show in Brooklyn & was out for the protests on Friday in the Times Square area

His look:

🚨ALERTA MASSACHUSETTS🚨
Patriot Front member Kyle Morelli (Vincent MA/TX/PA) is getting married on Saturday (Jan 29)! His wedding will be in Peabody and the reception in Groveland. Lots of Patriot Front fascists are planning to be there!
discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/rocket-chat/ro… Kyle Morelli (AKA "Vincent") has moved a bunch in the past year (e.g. in December 2021, he moved from Texas to Pennsylvania).

But in July 2021, he was in Massachusetts and was caught putting up Patriot Front graffiti in a Salem commuter rail station.

In addition to exposing Patriot Front members, the leaks also show the close connection btwn PF and Rob Rundo's fascist endeavors--Rise Above Movement, Will2Rise, Active Clubs, Media2Rise.

Rundo is selling merch through the "shopw2r" store, and uses payment processor @usaepay. The "w2r" in "shopw2r" is the abbreviation for Will2Rise, Rundo's latest attempt at building a fascist movement. This is done through "Active Clubs" & Telegram--which promotes white supremacy & his clothing brand (among other things)

This is what @usaepay is helping to support!

As you may have heard, Proud Boy, "Tiny" Toese, was arrested on felony charges stemming from an August 22 PB rally in Portland, OR.

Who is that by Tiny in the article image & livestream screenshot from the day?

In light of the connections between Lyndon McLeod, the Denver mass shooter and "crypto-fascist" groups like Operation Werewolf and Wolves of Vinland, we'd like to introduce you to Patrick Duggan, an adherent from Long Island who runs Vamachara Tattoo in Port Jefferson, NY. Photo of Patrick Duggan. He has red hair shaved on the sides The "ideology" underpinning the Wolves of Vinland/ Operation Werewolf blends hyper-masculinity with counter-culture, racism, & pre-Germanic folk traditions. The founder of this bs, Paul Waggener, cribbed heavily from Julius Evola, a fascist philosopher.

Proud Boys marched in Nassau County on Long Island on Saturday, still trying to exploit the tragedy surrounding the car attack in Waukesha, and use it as a way to launder the group's violence (and actions on January 6th) and spin themselves as 'protectors.' ImageImage Proud Boys are already testing "protection" as a defense strategy in court--claiming that their involvement in the January 6th storming of the Capitol was simply them "defend[ing] vulnerable protesters...not unlike what Kyle Rittenhouse did"

Interestingly, earlier in the week, the "Steve Bannon's War Room" Telegram channel was promoting Nick Fuentes' sad anti-vaxx groyper rally in Staten Island.

Bannon & Fuentes were all up in the Jan 6th siege on the Capitol & heavily involved in making "Stop the Steal" a thing. Screenshot from the Telegra... There has been some *alleged* beef between Fuentes/Groypers and Bannon since January 6th. For example, one of Bannon's podcast henchmen, Raheem Kassam, publicly pointed the finger at Fuentes *after* January 6th *for* January 6th.

ATTENTION NYC: Tonight, NPC Fest, a shitty edgelord film festival is holding "Angelfest" a party with "veiled fascists" like Curtis Yarvin and (allegedly) Far-Right misogynist musicians like "Negative XP" on Eldridge Street (a likely Airbnb rental in the LES).

🧵Thread 🧵 Curtis Yarvin is one of the main pseudo-intellectuals peddling the neoreactionary "Dark Enlightenment" (an especially incoherent blend of authoritarianism, racism, and accelerationist capitalism), and he recently appeared on Tucker Carlson.

Proud Boys have been involved in attacks on Planned Parenthood for years and these events helped them forge alliances and prep for the eventual siege on the Capitol on January 6th. A few examples below. In 2019, Proud Boy leader, Ethan Nordean, Oathkeepers, InfoWars 'personalities', and various other Far Right chuds protested against Planned Parenthood in Texas. This is the same toxic brew that stormed the Capitol on January 6th.

Dion Cini, a NYC-based far right grifter who compensates for his shortcomings with x-large MAGA flags, screamed "white power" at "Trumparilla" in Florida last week.
motherjones.com/politics/2021/… Almost as if we live in a terrible farce penned by a not very good and obvious writer, Dion Cini responded to the journalist questioning him about screaming "White Power" by claiming he was trolling, that his wife is Jewish, & sending a pic of himself with a Black person.

In early January, Nazis skulked around NYC taking pics of themselves sieg heiling with a fascist flag.

The Nazi in the grey & black coat is Jackson Bradley, a Philly member of the New Jersey European Heritage Association who goes by "Jesse Herring" on Telegram. Jackson Browning Bradley was identified by antifascists in 2020 as a Philly member of the Nazi group, the New Jersey European Heritage Association. The NJEHA is connected to fascist groups like Patriot Front & has heavily targeted areas in Staten Island.

Today's "MAGA Drag" car caravan that was planned to overrun NYC and head to Trump Tower was cancelled and the organizers were forced to reroute to the Palisades mall.

This weekend, pro-Trump MAGA supporters will be driving around the US in large convoys, including here in New York. While some of these convoys are planning to drive to a larger meetup in Rockland County (route TBD), some have planned on coming to Manhattan. Car attacks against BLM protesters have occurred with horrifying frequency since May. In September, the local MAGA creeps rammed their car through a crowd of protesters in Times Square--injuring many.

During unprecedented mass protests in response to draconian abortion restrictions in Poland, fascists are attacking protesters. Here you see them rushing the crowd and shooting flares in people's faces.

Ignoring a fascist today means having them on the streets tomorrow. We used the word 'unprecedented' because of the scale of the response, with 1000s of people on the streets for days, with church services disrupted. But there have been many protests by women, LGBTQ people, radicals, & allies in Poland. It's not new.

On Wednesday, ~50 MAGA-bedecked Trump supporters got together in lower Manhattan to hold a big flag, guarded by the NYPD who arrested counter-protesters.

On the fringes of the rally, Proud Boys & associates once again tried to gang beat any counter-protesters they encountered. One of the main perpetrators of the attack at Wednesday's pro-Trump rally was this "boy" wearing a MAGA Proud Boy cap. He drew a baton & went after someone who was literally just standing there.
