At a school board meeting in Montgomery County, MD (just north of DC), Moms4Liberty and a groups of Muslim parents demanded soft book bans (via an opt-out process) on pro-LGBTQ books. Pro-LGBTQ folks counterprotested, demanding schools remain secular.

Counterprotesters demanded schools be secular and not religious. This does not violate ANYONE’s religious freedom as both home schooling and religious schools remain legal!

Unknown whether Proud Boys linked “Moms4Liberty” sought a Muslim group as a front to soften their image, glommed onto an already-existing protest, or something else.

On Friday the 2nd of June in Ocala, FL, Ajike Shantrell went to the door of racist neighborhood bully Susan Lorincz to ask about an Ipad stolen from one of her four children. Susan opened fire without ever opening the door, killing Ajike. As she was a single mother this left her kids without either parent.

As this is written the sheriff has yet to charge Susan, though she is in protective custody.

On the 3ed of June, an LGBTQ youth rally was held at Orlando’s Lake Eola. Three Fascists showed up, distributing religious extremist material as close to the rally as they dared but not making any effort at a serious attack.

“Motorcycle fash” in the helmet spend a fair amount of time palling around with the three Orlando bike cops on the scene when nobody was taking his fliers.

Hey Brian Kemp and APD, since you have collecting bail money confused with laundering money, I thought I’d launder some right in front of your faces so you can understand the difference!

Now I have some clean money(even if it’s just a couple bucks…), though there isn’t enough soap in this whole state to wash your filthy campaign cash.

This is a MAJOR, MAJOR break with the longstanding rules of engagement of both peaceful protest and of property-damage only direct action. It means the rules as both activists and police have understood them no longer apply, it appears that anything goes.

Mr Brian Kemp,your threats and your provocations are just more fuel into the fires. You have chosen to treat forest defenders as insurgents, so as insurgents some shall be forced to act. That declaration went out on Scenes within hours of your assault on the Teardown House.

Proud Boys, so-called “Moms4Liberty” turn Hernando County, FL school board meeting into circus with anti-LGBTQ hate. All this was over the Disney movie “strange world” which simply includes a Gay character in a movie about saving the world.

This Disney film was played for a 5th grade class, so Nazis and Christian nationalists are stirring up hate and call. Proud Boys speaker Robert Christenson (AKA “Based Spartan”) gave a ranting speech sounding like Hitler himself, screaming about “alpha men.”

The Proud Boys, Moms4Liberty, and all their supporters were outnumbered about 2-1 by supporters of keeping the banned books and Disney movie available

On the 26th of May, “Justice” Samuel Alito (aka the Witchburner) got yet another abortion rights protest at his Northern Virginia home. He’s been getting these for over a year after citing Matthew Hale in the Dobb’s decision to let states revoke abortion rights.

Video of 2nd half of ride, as part of the ride continues to the Mill District.

This ride was smaller than the others as the starting point had to move to accomodate the Orlando Fringe Festival. A false report that the May ride would be the last due to police pressure on organizers turned out to be total crap. Critical Mass is alive and well and riding in Orlando!

Far right extremist Laura Loomer’s video(originally posted to Twitter) of Women’s Voices of SW Florida activists eating pudding inside the Four Seasons:

On the 24th of May, Florida’s fascist and theocratic extremist governor Ron DeSantis formally announced he is running for President in 2024. This announcement was delayed over a half hour by “problems” at Twitter of unknown origin. In Miami, his supporters were beginning a two day retreat at the Four Seasons Miami. This drew a small number of pro-Trump protesters and a large number of anti-GOP/anti-Fascist/anti-theocratic protesters. At least three of the latter got inside the event before being expelled.

On the 20th of May, protesters marched through the streets of downtown Ft Lauderdale, FL for abortion rights. A key chant of the march was “Free State? Where’s my freedom!”

In addition to the march, activists collected signatures for the statewide ballot referendum to protect abortion fights in FL and torpedo Ron DeathSantis’s antichoice agenda.
