5 Boats Sink At Trump Boat Parade In Texas

Supporters of President Trump took to the water in hundreds of boats on Saturday. The traffic created choppy waters that inundated several boats. Two of the boats were still submerged Sunday.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline

People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

These people literally call for violence and bloodshed while crying about being called "fascists" and "authoritarians." Crybullying aside, this is going to get people killed.

"Who would have predicted this?"

- Black women did.
- Trans people did.
- The *entire* disability community did.
- The anarchists did.
- Post-Evangelicals did.

"Well why didn't I hear them."

You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

Trump just signed an illegal executive order designed to target his political opposition by designating them terrorists and using the DOJ, IRS, FBI, and the JTTF to investigate and charge liberal organizations, funders, members, and protesters.

I trace history of MAGA manufacturing antifa bogeyman to both distract from v real far right violence, & to create a pretext for vigilantes & police to target the wider left www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Enrique Tarrio is behind iceraid. He's now offering rewards to people who help him create an enemies list

From ICE Raid News on twitter:

Domestic terrorists are a national security threat. Help America track them down and earn $RAID rewards in the process.

A screenshot is shown of the app in which people can uploaded photos and post people's information.

Screenshot from the iceraid homepage about section:

ICERAID is a GovFi protocol that delegates intelligence gathering and validation tasks to citizens that would otherwise be undertaken by law enforcement agencies. ICERAID rewards citizens for capturing, uploading and validating photographic evidence of 8 categories of suspected criminal activity. The more images and locations you upload and validate, the more ICERAID you earn. Rewards will accumulate in each user account and be claimable subject to the vesting provisions in the token economics chart below.

On twitter iceraidnews quoted Joe Biggs. Biggs posted a photo shaking hands with tarrio with the message "whos ready to go ANTIFA hunting? Because I know a few guys".

Iceraidnews quoted this message "You think you can hide? Think again. Iceraid.us"

It's with exceedingly high confidence that I can confirm that lineman Brandon Brooks, currently of Vinalhaven ME and previously of West Deptford NJ, is dead certainly a member of Patriot Front, and occupies several neo-Nazi and neo-fascist spaces on Telegram.

A triptych of images from various points in the life of Brandon Brooks, a white man with brown hair and a muscular build, of Vinalhaven ME. The first is a photo of Brooks atop a utility pole circa 2023. He is dressed in jeans a long-sleeve shirt, as well as climbing harness and climbing spikes on his boots. His arm is extended in what is conceivably a Roman salute. The second is the photo of Brooks posted by the Fox Islands Electric Cooperative circa January 2024. Brooks wears an F.I.E.C.-branded hoodie and a white hardhat, and has tucked his hands into his jeans' pockets. He smiles blankly. The third is a photo of Brooks taken by an antifascist activist in Bangor ME. Brooks, wearing khakis, a gray t-shit, and sunglasses, is walking away while turned slightly toward the cameraperson. He is grinning, holding his phone with his right hand, and flexing his left bicep.

Pro tip: if you're trying to hide the location of your latest far-right 'fight night' all the blurring and and tight shots won't help you if you host it in a place with bright orange walls (and also lie to the owner about why you're renting the place)

Another thing to consider - "exposecharliesmurderers" is utilizing emotional momentum to make a database of political enemies. If you look at the actual posts in it, many are mild and don't call for violence. They don't care, they want targets.

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.”

Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.
