Tracking extremism in Glendale and beyond. Formerly “the Real Jordan Henry” now glendaleextremists.com
Nationwide schools, kids, and communities are less safe because the Republican Party decided it was expedient to align with paramilitary groups to advance their bigoted culture wars. Everyone who fell for misinformation about “porn in schools” or “Marxist teachers” bears responsibility.
Chicago-area Proud Boys, Terry Newsome, showed up in Downers Grove yesterday to harass and intimidate high school students protesting DHS-activity.

Terry claims he wants to ban books to protect students in the same post in which he shares video of himself trying to bully them. He's in his 60s.

Should be *against ICE/DHS actions
February 12, 2026 at 1:40 AM
Glendale students are protesting weekly and residents are organizing to patrol and protect neighbors as ICE/DHS actions but you’d never know it wasn’t business as usual for some of those hoping to earn seats on the school board and city council www.glendaleextremists.com/post/gharpet...

Since Leadership Training events are technically non-partisan, they are a prime opportunity for concerned citizens to attend, document, and note extremist participants.

it operates as the recruitment and training arm for the Republican Party + right wing efforts broadly. Nathan Fatal is a high level operative in the org + has been a regular fixture in reactionary extremism circles in SoCal since the pandemic, notably during anti-pandemic protests at Tinhorn Flats.

Heads up SoCal- upcoming leadership institute training in Buena Park is being led by reactionary extremists who target LGBTQ+ children, oppose vaccines, and have been ringleaders in violent, harassment-driven anti-public school activism in the area for years. LI is technically non-partisan but…

Dude said Canada in there and he still doesn’t get it. Always wondered what’s under that deep side part but clearly it is not brain power.

This Friday. Young Republicans (of the Nazi chat leaks)join perennial efforts to get a school voucher scam on the ‘26 ballot. The same initiative was circulated by LOKA radicals in ‘24- they failed + are back, now trying to bribe signers w/ free coffee at La Canada’s Gio’s bakery (likely illegal).

Heads up Burbank neighbors- don’t fall for this bad faith NIMBY PAC supported by all the usual reactionary try hards. Join Burbank Tenants Union for actually useful tenant advocacy.

The US is negotiating with a child rapist in the Epstein network on how to retrain his Gestapo troops while also building a vast network of concentration camps to kidnap women and children all over the country.

Here’s just one of Ara Najarian’s unhinged tirades, goaded on by his seemingly unstable sister Maro Yacoubian. bsky.app/profile/glen...
Besides false accusations against local queer leaders, Ara appeared especially irate about criticism of his sister, Maro Yacoubian- 1 of the most vocal opponents of LGBTQ+ inclusion in GUSD schools, (she doesn’t appear to have kids in the district & heavily promotes her own charter school).
February 9, 2026 at 6:24 PM
Najarian could likely continue his corrupt, regressive, self-interested political career in Ohio where he was raised, or any number of red states friendly to his close-minded parochialism. Instead he feels entitled to inflict his unpopular views over people who don’t want them. Good riddance.
February 9, 2026 at 6:10 PM
Najarian’s politics aren’t hard to categorize- he uses his role on metro board to cover his NIMBY anti transit, anti green energy core. He may support transit projects but only if they don’t impact his former sundown town. He’s a frequent vocal amplifier of anti-LGBTQ+, anti-public school misinfo.
February 9, 2026 at 6:10 PM
Ara is in fact a republican so its weird to frame it as being “labeled” one. His words, actions, and public associations are fully in line with the Republican Party’s policy preferences and in group/out group values- he just doesn’t like being publicly identified with its toxic leader.
February 9, 2026 at 6:10 PM
Ara shows a stunning lack of perspective and awareness- blaming the democratic system itself for his inability to win anywhere but in his low-turnout local race, rather than the fact he is a member of an unpopular minority party linked to widespread abuses of immigrants, women, and LGBTQ+ people.
February 9, 2026 at 6:10 PM
Ara uses the language of actual oppressive structures- “the glass ceiling”- as a metaphor for his own political career, which for emphasis has spanned over TWO DECADES on the Glendale city council and nearly as long on the LA County Metro Board. Source: losangelescountypolitics.com/retiring-gop...

Our 5x mayor Ara Najarian has been in office since the W Bush era, treating the city as a petty fiefdom. In recent years he joined w/ extremist anti-LGBTQ+ bigots to attack schools/queer people + threw frequent dais meltdowns abt groups + websites who dared criticize him. Behold his recent press:

Truly despicable appropriation- they refer to an “abortion holocaust” and explicitly align with the heroism with Sophie and Hans Scholl.
February 8, 2026 at 11:31 PM
Follow up to this- massive student walkouts continue across the country. Meanwhile the anti-abortion movement’s annual attempt at a mass action appears to be the source of a DC area measles outbreak. Very pro-life! www.nbcwashington.com/news/health/...

Probably just regular incestuous billionaire bs but looks like also-ran LA mayoral candidate/Americana daddy Rick Caruso might have shared a financial advisor and spot on a VIP list to Frieze London art fair in 2018 w/Jeffrey Epstein and Leon Black. www.justice.gov/epstein

Noting that anti-trans Christian nationalist candidate for state superintendent of education Sonja Shaw also claims Moses Heredia as a “friend” and posted a pic of his book she claims to be “reading.”

Reactionary right assembly members Kate Sanchez and David Tangipa joined the paid operatives attempting to prevent trans kids from playing sports.

And Pride at the Pier is here on the ground in Long Beach today, working in solidarity with our partners to highlight the extremists at the CIF meeting.
Christian nationalist anti trans activists are in Long Beach today once again demanding the state student athletic org CIF ban trans athletes. Supported by dark $ and featuring a tiny group of anti-trans “influencers” the press conference is a perfect example of their astroturfed bigotry.

This harem of hateful harpies includes: school board members Candy Olson + Jeanette Wilson (redlands), Jenn Wiersma (Tenecula), Leandra Blades (Placentia Yorba Linda) and director of the right wing CA policy council’s CLEO org, Mari Barke, a long time political operative- very organic effort here!

Despite crowing “save girls sports,” fired PE teacher Jessica Tapia, activist/exhibitionist Beth Bourne, far right politician Sonja Shaw + the orgs that pay them say nothing abt the rampant abuses revealed in the Epstein files, or the horrific conditions faced by children detained by ICE.
