@BGOnTheScene shows the Take Our Border Back convoy leaving the VA Beach MOD Pizza parking lot (the one near Ikea) with 6 pick-ups, 4 SUVs, 4 cars, 2 vans, 1 bus, and 0 semis. (Maybe they're meeting up with Rubber Duck and Pig Pen later?!?)

@FordFischer showed one more SUV joining at the end, making it a total of 18 vehicles en route to Raleigh, North Carolina, Jacksonville, Florida, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and then on to Texas.
The Serious Play Conference at Toronto Metropolitan University opens with panelists at “The Beach” discussing the balance between new technologies and playing games in person.
Mark Robinson recently called on his supporters "to take a stand and absolutely flood" the Greensboro city council meeting on behalf of a firefighter fired for mocking transgender people on social media. Robinson mobilized more opponents than supporters, though, at least 2 to 1.
@Triad_City_Beat has the details on the events leading up to tonight's events. triad-city-beat.com/gso-fire…

After the Allen, TX shooting, many photos are circulating of Proud Boy Jeremy Bertino wearing his Right Wing Death Squad (RWDS) patch. Here he is back in 2019, wearing his "Pinochet Did Nothing Wrong!" shirt and befriending several groups in Pittsboro, NC.
Bertino was with over 50 Proud Boys in a 2020 Raleigh, NC protest that also included a wide mix of right-wing people and messages. If you're reading this tweet, you've likely already seen at least one photo from that day. Here's the full album. flic.kr/s/aHsmSsBArG
Yet another Nazi targeted the LGBT community in North Carolina, this time spray-painting a swastika outside the senior center where Apex Pride was holding its first holiday celebration today.
For those unfamiliar with the area, this was 30 minutes northeast of where Proud Boys and at least one Nazi protested a drag brunch in October. And one hour from Southern Pines, where a drag show was cut short earlier this month when someone shot out the electrical substations.
It has been pointed out that the Nazi protester in Sanford looks like this man inside the U.S. Capitol and helping Oath Keepers on January 6. The beard is a bit different in 2022, but zooming in on my photo shows that the right-hand tattoo of a skull is a match.
Some may recognize him from #Jan6 The tattoo on his left hand 1488 is new since then, the ring is the same.
Tonight @maddow connected neo-Nazi plans to attack our power grid in 2020, the recent Moore County substation attack, and a drag show protest in nearby Sanford five weeks ago. It's worth adding that besides the Proud Boys, there was another group in Sanford. Zoom in on his ring.
More photos of Proud Boys and at least one Nazi at the drag show protest in Sanford can be found here: flic.kr/s/aHBqjAdi4W
...and here's the full thread describing the various protest groups interacting outside of the drag show that day. teapawt.org/acrider/status/1586744…
Allegations of voter fraud already in Alamance County as a Republican poll greeter is telling voters that Sheriff Terry Johnson isn't appearing on the ballot. Here's candidate Anthony Pierce describing the scene in Graham.
Alamance County Board of Elections just issued a press release. "Elections staff verified that all candidates that are supposed to be on ballots are correctly listed." alamance-nc.com/elections/wp…
Here's a story following up on this by @jordangreennc: teapawt.org/jordangreennc/status/1…
#Breaking Sheriff Terry Johnson in North Carolina has been pushing dubious claims that his name was off the ballot since Friday. The BOE confirmed that’s not true. Photo by @acrider #Election2022 rawstory.com/raw-investigate…
I’ve been driving around Alamance County this morning to get photos of candidates at the polls, but so far only found one at Smith Elementary: Steve Carter, current county commissioner and guest speaker at the 2015 rally to save Graham’s Confederate statue.
