TRIGGER WARNING:

Another email sent to threaten me as a Jewish Canadian physician and politician, Sept 5. This isn’t about my role as an #Ottawa school board trustee. This isn’t about vaccines or masks. This is organized #antisemitism and #bigotry.

Also in the last week, an antisemitic phone message left at my work.

One Canadian politician and 2 colleagues at the OCDSB have reached out to express concern and disdain for this #hate.

I shouldn’t have to face this on my own.

Dear Reader,

As the mother of three grown sons, I can only imagine the despair and heartache of the hundreds of thousands of families torn apart in this war caused by one man - Vladimir Putin.

A Ukrainian mourns the loss of his family member.

"WAR COMES A CALLING"

Weep old woman,
Your child has died
War comes a calling
A price for you to pay
Death set loose by the egos of man
Your son had to pay
War comes a calling
A price for all to pay

Now, Gov. Kay Ivey of Alabama is exploring the idea of banning books statewide within the Alabama public library system itself — to be clear, the libraries that adults use.

“Alabama’s state library agency is now under scrutiny by the governor, following a handful of local book challenges and conservative efforts to cut ties with the American Library Association.

In a Sept. 1 letter to Nancy Pack, director of the Alabama Public Library Service, Gov. Kay Ivey said she had grown increasingly concerned about “the environment our Alabama libraries are providing to families and children.””

@hacks4pancakes I’m disengaging from Twitter. I just can’t take the stupidity any more.

Perpetually disappointed in privileged people who stay on Twitter.

just heard that #AlexanderTserev just stopped dead cold in the middle of his #USOpen #tennis match because an asshole screamed the Nazi "Germany Above All".

Sacha goes to the umpire, says "no, this is not acceptable". the umpire asks who said it AND ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND THE NAZI RATTED HIM!!!

so the guy got summarily ejected from the stadium.

i know Sacha Tserev can be problematic but good on him for being #ANTIFA first and foremost

And yeah, just visiting the Twitter/X website lands money in Elon's pocket because it adds views to the ad program. Delete your fucking account already. Deprive him of your content. And don't go to that sewer of a website, even just to rubberneck at the disaster. All traffic helps him.

Background: In 2021 the school board voted 7-1 to recognize LGBTQ History Month alongside Hispanic Heritage and Black History Month, but in 2022 a backlash from M4L, Proud Boys, far-right groups & DeSantis “Don’t Say Gay” law pushed the school board to reverse course. 2/

From 9/7/2022

🚨 Outside the Miami-Dade school board right now — a group of 10+ Miami Proud Boys and allies are huddled around intimidating community members from supporting a resolution to declare LGBTQ History Month for October.

We are going to name them too. Standby.

Let’s meet the Proud Boys: This is Nowell Salgueiro, a Miami Proud Boy with a criminal record and an elected member of the Miami GOP executive committee. @MiamiDadeGOP

This is Alexander Thomas Bermudez #Little1776 wearing a Floridians First shirt, the name of their defunct front group.

Alex has a long criminal rap sheet which includes armed robbery and even drug dealing on school property.

More: Alex Bermudez, the 5 foot 2 inch Proud Boy known as Little 1776, is holding a Floridians First sign while protesting mask mandates in front of the school board in 2021.

Anti-Masks ➡️ Anti-CRT ➡️ Anti-LGBTQ … it’s all the same far-right crowd hopping from issue 2 issue.

This roid rage Proud Boy is known as Lex 305, believed to named Alex and a Westchester landlord. His plastic GF is named Paola Jorge.

He attended the PB Jan 6 press conference in Miami with Alex/Little 1776 and M4L chair Eulalia Jimenez.

Next up is a secret Proud Boy, an 81 year old man named Herbert Silver aka “Vaca Loca.” He’s been hysterically screaming outside there for 4 hours about media, Hitler & more.

He’s a regular at demos & events with the Miami PB + can be seen wearing their hat at a holiday party.

Next up we have Maurice Symonette of “Blacks for Trump” & a regular at Proud Boy functions.

A former member of the anti-Semitic Yahweh Ben Yahweh cult linked to murders and sex abuse, he was recently spotted hanging out w members of the -48 QAnon cult.

Now we have members of the Christian nationalist “Christian Family Coalition” who promote anti-LGBTQ views and several of their speakers at the meeting clearly spoke in favor of end the separation between church and state.

Let’s meet a few of these nut jobs! 😵‍💫

Fortunately they made it easy for us by announcing their own names!

Say hello to religious bigot Anthony Verdugo, founder and executive director of the Christian Family Coalition, who wants to take Miami back to the Stone Age. 👋

Next we have Aileen Campbell, a “concerned” mother who preaches anti-LGBTQ views as an activist with the Christian Family Coalition in Miami.

We see you Aileen and we’ll be watching for you. 👀

The notorious far-right disinformation account “Gays Against Gr**mers” teamed up with the Miami far-right to fund a billboard truck in front of the school board.

As part of their harassment campaigns GAG recently inspired a bomb threat against a children’s hospital in Boston.

Miami Moms for Liberty leader Eulalia Jimenez-Hincapie (bottom L) looking exhausted & tired today inside the board meeting.

Maybe she’s worried her hate agenda is gonna lose? Maybe thinking about how her masked Proud Boys pals outside are a bad look? Maybe picking her nose? 👃

Also on the scene today at the Miami school, but maybe regretting it now was, was Lindsay Rives (maiden name Lindsay Taylor Nobles) of Odessa in Pasco County, Florida.

She’s a “national media correspondent” for Christian fascist group CCDF and a former college sports reporter.

Is opposition to LGBTQ History Month at the Miami-Dade school board @MDCPS motivated by hatred?

From the mouths of the Proud Boys outside:

“Get that gay shit outta here … f**got” says the PB known as Lex 305 reacting to a trans pride flag. He then gives the white power sign.

The cowardly @MDCPS board sides with voted 8-1 against the resolution.

Here’s Miami CCDF leader Alan Chovel posting as “Voltron Leonidas” celebrating in the telegram channel of local QAnon maven Isabella Rodriguez, aka #RedPillBabe.

Alan also posted pictures of himself attending the attempted January 6th insurrection in DC.

Also spotted outside the Miami-Dade school board: Christine Nicole Ortega, the Moms for Liberty QAnon crypto-currency stripper.

Another Proud Boy spotted outside the Miami-Dade school board meeting and he spoke during public comments:

Chris Barcenas, a failed realtor and elected member of the Miami GOP executive board. He also rioted with the Proud Boys at the Capitol on Jan 6.

In fact, Chris Barcenas was compelled to provide testimony to the January 6th congressional investigation committee earlier this year.

How many names did he give up to save himself from getting charges? 🤔

“Trump glided into the White House buoyed by an understandable sense of his own impunity. Despite the years-long tax schemes, chronicled by the Times, and the claims of sexual assault made by more than two dozen women, there has always somehow been a reason not to prosecute Donald Trump. He has enjoyed the amnesty of wealth his entire life.”

CEO: We need to cut costs.

Accountant: Okay. We paid you $50 million last year. We spent $10 million on your private jet flights and luxury hotel accommodations. For some reason you are being paid $1 million for this 45 minute meeting.

CEO: I see. Who's that in the hallway?

Accountant: That's Greg. He is the only thing keeping this company from falling apart. We pay him in nickels and Grubhub gift cards.

CEO: Fire Greg.

I recently published a piece on PragerU, an unaccredited school registered as a nonprofit, which is behind controversial right-wing propaganda videos recently approved for Florida schools.

I looked at hundreds of 990s to identify the largest recent funders of PragerU and how they are spending their money (Facebook, Google)

The Oklahoma Dept of Education just announced a partnership with PragerU - they are spreading.
