"When we rolled up [to the school board meeting], it was the scariest scene I've ever seen." There were "over 100 really buff dudes shouting, 'Groomer, pedophile, leave our kids alone!'" -@daisykpgardner, LAUSD mom. Extremists will target Temecula TOMORROW. 1/ #WarOnPublicSchools
This is an excerpt from my interview earlier today with three concerned women from Southern California whose schools sytems have been targeted by far right extremists, including the Proud Boys. You can watch the whole interview here. 2/
5/ Here, @Doro_Slay_Gale explains how a local pastor in Temecula has been targeting Temecula schools since the pandemic.
6/ More on that Temecula pastor. He's hosted Marjorie Taylor Green (MTG) and backed 6 far right school board candidates who won seats on three different school boards.
7/ Florida seems to have provided the playbook for taking over public schools and harassing public teachers, who then flee, resulting in a brain drain that causes the school to collapse, as explained here by Daisy Gardner.
8/ As noted, far right operatives have indicated that they plan to target Temecula's school board meeting tomorrow. They've also been targeting Temecula's superintendent who they apparently want to replace. The far right has already taken over 3 of the 5 school board seats.

The judge knows Georgia’s voting system is problematic, but she waited too long to rule & then the Big Lie hit & now MAGAs equate vulnerabilities w/ proof that Trump “won” (which is idiotic, but they are idiotic), making everyone else too afraid to acknowledge real concerns. 1/
Georgia should move to #HandMarkedPaperBallots with an exception for voters with disabilities. These touchscreens are too risky — even in a vacuum — and now they’ve been compromised by Sidney Powell’s operatives. 2/
But thanks to the Big Lie, Georgia will likely keep its sub-par system and the rest of us will have to just cross our fingers. 3/
Tim Thompson is a pastor in Temecula, CA, who has hosted MTG at his church, cavorts w/ III%ers, & wears a III%ers patch. He successfully backed several far right school boards candidates. Those school boards members fired the superintendent last night. #Christofascism 1/
Moms for Liberty’s self-described partner says “we’re supposed to subdue the world and take dominion of our territory … We choose leaders that have fear of the Lord.” I told ya Moms for Liberty is in cahoots w/ Christofascists. The public deserves to know. #dominionism 1/
2/ The public deserves to know that “Moms for Liberty” is in cahoots w/ the Christo-fascist cabal that has used the “parental rights” rubric to oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child & to thwart oversight of Christian homeschooling. My latest. buckscountybeacon.com/2023/06/christ…
They are Moms for Christofascism. But most people haven’t a clue. We must warn the public. 3/
Michael Caputo is a Roger Stone protege who Trump hired as a spokesperson at HHS during the pandemic after Caputo had called multiple women “dog face” and tweeted that Chinese people suck on rabid bats. 1/
I discuss Caputo here too. He left HHS after telling MAGAs to buy ammo. He seemed to anticipate a violent non-transition for Trump. 3/ buckscountybeacon.com/2023/05/part-5…
Sylvie Araujo seems to coordinate some of the thuggish far right attendance at school board meetings in Southern California. After Glendale (below) she encouraged her followers to show up in Temecula tonight (6/13) at 5pm. 1/
Some of the far right operatives targeting Southern California public schools are "not concerned parents. This is a coordinated group. *** They've hit Redlands, they've hit ... Chino Valley, ... and up next is Temecula." - @daisykpgardner, concerned parent. 1/
2/ This is from my recent interview of several Southern California residents who are angry and upset that far right operatives are targeting their public schools in a coordinated fashion and that many in the media have wrongly portrayed these operatives as "concerned parents."
3/ You can watch the full interview here on my Youtube channel. Thank you to @daisykpgardner, @Doro_Slay_Gale, and Alex for speaking with me and alerting me to this terrifying situation.
