🧵ELECTION DAY MEGA THREAD — Tracking the far right's Election Day narratives, right-wing media misinformation and propaganda, incidents of violence and voter intimidation, and the activities of violent extremists at polling places. "Many of the most visible moves can be seen in the battleground states that will decide the presidential election, states like Nevada where protests by Trump supporters broke out after the 2020 election." reuters.com/world/us/us-st…

I’ve reported on the conservative movement and right-wing politics for more than a decade, and I’ve never seen anything like the collective temper tantrum and epic meltdown that has occurred during the past few weeks.

There is a palpable amount of fear, loathing and desperation. That being said, any predictive analysis based on this limited timeframe and anecdotal evidence should be viewed with skepticism. However, there are some factors to consider and observations that may provide insight into what may happen during the 90 days left until Election Day.

🧵The far right is obsessed with “groomers” and "child predators" at #Pride events. Are they looking in the right places?

This year, several pastors or staffers of Christian churches have been arrested, charged, or convicted for various allegations of sexual abuse of children: Seaford, Delaware: James Dryden, a children’s pastor with Stein Highway Church of God, was arrested and charged with "with 10 felony counts of Dealing in Child Pornography." wboc.com/news/seaford-c…

Tim Pool: “Should there be list of Democrats who need to go to jail? One hundred percent.”

Laura Loomer: “Not just jail, they should get the death penalty.”

🧵Megathread — Capitol Riot Map Updates

Thomas Kelly (#Zionor) was arrested for participating in the Capitol Riot; faces multiple felony charges including "civil disorder; assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers; and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a deadly or dangerous weapon."

🧵Lawmakers in Tennessee are not alone in introducing legislation that includes similar language and appears to reference the so-called "chemtrails" conspiracy theory (or other conspiracy theories)... "...with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited."

NEW: Tax filings provide new insights into the funding of the right-wing "parents' rights" group Moms for Liberty, and reveal that the group received significant donations from at least two conservative nonprofits during 2022:

Heritage Foundation & George Jenkins Foundation The Heritage Foundation awarded the organization's annual Salvatori Prize for American Citizenship to Moms for Liberty, which included a $25,000 grant to the 501(c)4 nonprofit associated with Moms for Liberty: projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org…

What do we know (so far) about the connections between Moms for Liberty county chapters and the Proud Boys?

At least nine Moms for Liberty county chapters have connections or associations with the far right violent extremists street gang the Proud Boys.👇🏼 Celeste Fiehler, the chair of the Moms for Liberty chapter in Riverside County, California, attended a protest with far right activists including Louie Mario Flores, a member of the Proud Boys who was present at the Capitol during the January 6th Insurrection.

🧵Moms for Liberty and other far right so-called "parents rights" groups claim they are not attempting ban books ― because the books they seek to remove from public schools will still be available at public libraries.

Except, that's just not true. Public libraries are a target. .@melissagira recently reported that "trying to ban library books has become a call to arms, a new cause for conservatives to rally around, a demand with which the right could question the function and existence of the public library." newrepublic.com/article/170920…

Tonight in Philadelphia, Moms for Liberty's summit is opening — So, I’ve been digging into the group's far right anti-LGBTIQ connections, and building a network analysis.

This is an interactive visualization of the sponsors and exhibitors of the Joyful Warriors National Summit. The featured speakers at the Moms for Liberty's national summit have connections to various right-wing groups including sponsors or exhibitors at the conference.

Some of the featured speakers have connections far right anti-LGBTIQ organizations.
