Members of Proud Boys hate group disrupt LGBTQ-themed event at Tutt Branch of library - South Bend Tribune
Minutes before a scheduled “Rainbow Storytime” program, about a half a dozen men walked into a reading room at the Tutt Branch of the St. Joseph County Public Library and demanded the event be shut down.

The men mostly wore black shirts and hats with yellow trim. At one point during the confrontation, one member unfurled a flag reading “Michiana Proud Boys,” appearing to identify the men as a local chapter of the white nationalist hate group.

In a video, the men badgered library staff and event attendees for around 45 minutes, calling the books that were to be read a “perversion” and belligerently asking “what gives you the right” to push sexuality on children.

Eventually the men left after being talked to by South Bend police officers and the library’s security personnel, though the reading event was postponed after most of the families went home.

“It is a shock and we are very disappointed an event celebrating LGBTQ+ communities was disrupted,” said Marissa Gebhard, communications manager for the library system. “Our staff are very affected by it.”

Gebhard added that the library will reschedule the event, which was planned in partnership with the Tree House Gender Resource Center, and will continue to offer programming “to all members of our community.”

I include Christian nationalist actions as we all agree these things are intertwined. (Along with anti-LGBTQ and all these armed Proud Boys showing up and threatening Pride events.)

North Carolina workers sue company they say fired them for refusing to pray at work
"You have to participate," the owner said, according to a federal discrimination lawsuit filed this week.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/no ... -rcna36011

Two former employees of a North Carolina contracting company who say there were fired for refusing to take part in the firm’s daily “cult-like” Christian prayer meetings have filed a federal discrimination lawsuit.

John McGaha and Mackenzie Saunders said in a lawsuit filed Monday that the owner of Aurora Pro Services “created a hostile work environment, based on religion,” and openly threatened to fire workers who didn't attend the sessions.

“You have to participate,” the owner said, according to McGaha in the lawsuit. “If you do not participate, that is okay, you don’t have to work here. You are getting paid to be here.”

Saunders said in the lawsuit that the prayer meetings “lasted nearly an hour during which, Defendant’s owner, would pray and recite scripture from the Bible.”

[snip][end]

Now - you will say this is a private business - this is an at will employment country - the boss can do as he likes. Well, OK. Yes, he can hold prayer meetings and scripture readings during business hours. Totally allowed, it's a private business, not a public school. With voluntary participation, it is absolutely fine.

Can he force employees to attend? This is where the question is not so clear.

Employment Law Q&A: Can an employer require prayer in the workplace?
https://mcdonaldhopkins.com/Insights/Oc ... ire-prayer

An employer cannot require prayer in the workplace. This would violate Section VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which protects workers from employment discrimination based on their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or protected activity.

[snip]

However, if the employer holds religious services or programs or includes prayer in business meetings, Title VII requires that the employer accommodate an employee who asks to be excused for religious reasons absent a showing of undue hardship. Excusing an employee from religious services or prayer does not cost the employer anything. The EEOC provides the following example:

[snip]

If an employee does not wish to take part in prayer or other religious service, he or she must be excused form that portion of the meeting. Further, the employee must not be subjected to retaliation for related to a request for a religious accommodation.

[snip][end]

Doesn't seem like this company is following the law.

Yes. So many of these stories could be posted to any number of current threads, because it's all the same people who are antivaxx, anticommie, antiabort, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Black, antisemitic, anti-immigrant, anti-Asian, anti-Native, and anti-Latino.

They are the same people.

Sometimes, far-right white-aspirants, WN ideologues like Dennis Prager and Stephen Miller, self-loathers like Milo and Andrew Sullivan, watercarriers like Dinesh and Michelle Malkin, tapdancers like Mark Burns and Katrina Pierson; enablers like Ted & Marco & Enrique, and of course karen, are very eager to join in with them.

None of these people ever got the memo about Ernst Röhm, I guess. :problem:

The tactics in all of these stories...I'd say they are Stürmabteilung/SA and Brownshirts, but this country has its own, very strong traditions of something similar.

Not the same, but similar, and related.

The Proud Boys, Atomwaffen Division (clearly modeled on Nazism), Identity Evropa, Milo, and all these other conservative white male supremacists are just the better-dressed version of the KKK, Black Legion, and Citizen's Council vigilantes.

Not to mention the Silver Shirt Legion.

https://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/a ... 44/xv38671

Note here how these murderous, white-conservative antisemites claim Jewish "persecution" on page 1 of this 18-page Silver Shirt document.

https://digital.library.temple.edu/digi ... 1/id/1546/

These people have to be nailed to the wall on their intentions, which is to force all others back into second-class citizenship.

They have never had to protect themselves from us. We have always needed to protect ourselves from thm. Difference is, fter 400 years of it, we've gotten quite good at it.

Boston mayor condemns ‘white supremacist’ march through city - Boston Herald
Michelle Wu, Ed Flynn call out ‘cowardly’ group as tempters flare
Photos from the scene show that many, if not most, of the marchers were dressed in matching khaki pants and navy or dark-colored polo shirts and wore bandanas or a like covering over their lower faces and were also wearing sunglasses and ball caps.

As of 1:14 p.m., the group had marched down Commonwealth Avenue and turned toward Dartmouth Street toward Boylston before stopping in the area of the Boston Public Library, according to a Herald photographer on the ground.

It was at the library where flyers were found announcing the group — or at least part of the group — as belonging to the Patriot Front, a group described as a white nationalist or white supremacist organization by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

“Since 2019, Patriot Front has been responsible for the vast majority of white supremacist propaganda distributed in the United States,” the ADL wrote in its profile of the group. “One of the United States’ most visible white supremacist groups, Patriot Front participates in localized ‘flash demonstrations’ across the nation.”

The flyer depicts an octopus with one eye a Democratic Party donkey and the other a Republican Party elephant swallowing or engulfing an outline of the continental United States under the headline “Two Parties, One Tyranny.”

“The party system murdered the American Republic and replaced it with a fake democracy ruled by lobbyists, bankers, and unelected bureaucrats,” the flyer says in part. “The true rulers of the State never receive any votes. Elections are now only mass illusions of popular sovereignty.”

By the way, Patriot Front are these fascists who got caught trying to disrupt a Pride parade in Idaho a couple weeks ago.

And these freaks from "Reclaim America," last December

That a-hole who mowed down a bunch of people in Charlottesville and murdered Heather Heyer is from Patriot Front.

Every Single House Republican Voted Against Investigating Neo-Nazis in the Military

Every single Republican is a neonazi simp. Including the not-white ones.
The amendment still passed, but the vote shows how a genuine national security threat has been turned into partisan football.
This is a bad take. It’s not a political football. White supremacism is destroying this country from the inside out, facilitated by its believers in the Republican Party. Which is all of them.

Don’t Liz Cheney this, either. ALL of them.
All 208 House Republicans thumbed their noses at an amendment to a bill that would order the government to investigate white supremacist and neo-Nazi activity in the military and federal law enforcement.

But due to the current Democratic majority in the House, the amendment—which was wrapped into the annual defense spending bill—still passed strictly along party lines.

Once the House passes the full spending bill, titled the National Defense Authorization Act, it will head to the Senate, which is controlled by Republicans.

If the amendment survives Senate scrutiny, it would mandate the chiefs of the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Defense to produce a report assessing the extent of white supremacist or neo-Nazi activity in their ranks and how they plan to address it. They’d have 180 days from the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act to compile that report.
And yet, neonazi simps like Glennfs would like to dictate the ideology that “minorities” should be grateful to live in Gods Favorite Country, where the military and law enforcement is overrun with people like him. : problem:

The same types said this during slavery and the Trail of Tears, too.

Sesame Place Responds After Kelly Rowland Reacts To Viral Video Of Little Black Girls Being Ignored

Kelly Rowland has used her platform to call for an explanation concerning the treatment of two little Black girls during a parade at Sesame Place.

The girls’ mother uploaded a video of the incident claiming the character shunned her daughters. In it, the Rosita character approaches the young siblings while passing out high-fives to everyone. However, she appears to ignore the girls who stand on the street with their arms outstretched. She then shakes her head and waves her finger at the girls before one of the girls turns to the camera in confusion.

Creepy anti-LGBTQ activist calls Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “sexy big booty Latina” on Capitol steps

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) posted a video of transphobic self-described “comedian” Alex Stein sexually harassing her by calling her a “sexy… big booty Latina” on the U.S. Capitol steps.

In a July 13 tweet, Ocasio-Cortez wrote, “I posted about a deeply disgusting incident that happened today on the Capitol steps, but took it down bc it’s clearly someone seeking extremist fame. It’s just a bummer to work in an institution that openly allowed this, but talking about it only invites more. Just really sad.”

You can explain how calling her a "sexy big booty Latina" is protesting her policies or political positions. (Hint: it isn't.)

Aw cool. He describes himself as a "professional troll". :roll:

https://sports.yahoo.com/alex-stein-tro ... 49960.html

[snip]

He has harassed other lawmakers, including Republican Representative Dan Crenshaw, whom he called a RINO, and Congressman Adam Kinzinger, whom he called a "d-bag."

Mr Stein has been desperately mewling for attention since at least 2012, when he appeared on an ABC reality show called "The Glass House."

Mr Stein's father previously spoke about his son to D Magazine in Dallas. He claims his son's behaviour became toxic after the family's mother died from Covid-19 in 2021.

“It traumatised him,” his father, Rhett told the magazine. “It totally broke him down – and he’s reacting to that traumatisation. He’s not the same person after that. He says he is, but he’s not the same guy right now.”

[snip][end]

Again, I don't quite see how just going up & telling Kinzinger he's a "d-bag" is expressing grievances with his policies.

I'm sorry for Mr. Stein's loss. It has a a familiar ring to me. However, it was not a license to become a professional troll.

Yes, a lot like an anonymous African American criticizing their culture is "racist," knowing full well that their actual, legalized, state-forced racism caused the deaths, suffering, and discrimination against millions of people.

This is the level of contempt that white supremacists like Glennfs hold towards people who have endured their discrimination, and the carried-out death threats for defying it.
