MAGA influencers are turning YouTube into propaganda hubs for anti-immigrant narratives that now shape Trump administration policy. As figures like Nick Shirley, Jack Posobiec, and Dan Bongino spread false claims, online hate is translating into state violence, and a brutal “remigration” agenda.

Back in 2006, during those immigration protests, the Kern County DA (CA) went on local TV to say the kids who protested didn't know what they were doing, that they just wanted to play hookey from school, etc. Now the moral mandate is clearer than ever before so they need another way to deny agency.
Anti-trans operative/federal prosecutor Bill Essayli escalates a new narrative being pushed by far right accounts nationwide— that teachers unions and other adults of orchestrating student walkouts. Now claims students “being deployed to attack”- dangerous rhetoric designed to criminalize dissent.

Local parents track the rise of new right wing attack narrative- in the last week multiple filmed incidents of reactionary agitators attacking or trying to provoke student demonstrators have been noted paired w/ influencer/org calls for investigations into teachers unions/ charging parents.
As proof of the new narrative attack- here’s local prageru propagandist Jill Simonian praising Clovis PD threats to criminally charge parents/teachers who support student protest efforts. Jill reposted the Clovis story, looping demands for crackdowns into“parental notification” calls.

Completely inaccurate.
The walkouts were student-led. Adults only supported (and mostly with food 😂)
As parents we see & hear what students are thinking, how they see the actions of the gov, their fears for their families, friends & community. The right fears student walkouts bc they show plainly the clear moral stakes of this moment. We stand with students and all demonstrators against injustice.

This is the story right now. It's surging in right wing online spaces & leading to very real harassment of kids in the real world.

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.

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...

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).

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:

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.

Jordan Henry is also a noxious bigot who’s harmed countless community members. There’s no minimizing his actions here + no redemption in calling out the more overt extremism of a maybe now former buddy. He’s trying to save himself by cutting out part of the coalition he helped build- it won’t work.
Locals here all know Jordan Henry- the man who moved to town seemingly solely to try to build a media/political career by attacking public schools + lgbtq inclusive curriculum. He’s right that Dennis Feitosa is a noxious groyper but still incapable of realizing how he helped normalize him.

@alkapdc.bsky.social notes Dennis says in the Amy Dangerfield podcast that Roxanne Hoge, chair of the LAGOP and a PragerU content creator, called him to tell him he was not kicked out of the party. bsky.app/profile/alka...
Update: because in Glendale, where there are extremist weirdos, Jordan Henry is never far away. Zero credit to him but he at least has the wherewithal to disavow white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Possibly bc Jordan called attention to the Groyper pic, Dennis claims to have been expelled from the GOP.

Nick Shirley is a malevolent tool being used by the administration and its supporters to manufacture material justification for militarized attacks on Democrat run states. Right wing consultant Jenny La Roux hyped Shirley’s arrival in CA saying her co had given him material to “investigate.”
