1/ If you don’t know what the Proud Boys are, you should probably learn. A gay friend of mine in NYC told me a couple of years ago that he & his boyfriend were at a bar in Brooklyn & these Proud Boys came over & told them that it was time for them to leave, the place was closing.

2/ My friend looked around & saw other people were still there, looked at their watches & realized it wasn’t closing time yet. So they told the guys that they would leave when they were done. Then the Proud Boys literally beat him up & dragged them out. This is not a drill.

Nice but do you even know what the Proud Boys stand for? Would you like to do an interview/convo with the leader?

I know this: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prou…. And I know what my friend who was beaten up by the Proud Boys for being gay has told me of his experience.

Portland is a mess. Seems that Alan Swinney is headingProud Boy/counterprotest . The Mayor and Governor could really use your advice re: creating a public forum. A forum could help deescalate; instead it's getting worse👇

I’d be glad to help - it’s the kind of work I do - but Portland is filled with sophisticated professionals who know exactly how to mediate this kind of situation & who know the dynamics of Portland infinitely better than I do. We have got to take politics to that deeper place.

We need to rename "proud boys". They're grown as hell men, behaving like violent, beasts! They are uneducated, and loudly immortal. They're the "Immortal Piglets" or "Wild Boars" at best! 🐽🐗

I do not support the Proud Boys but I vehemently oppose Joe Biden's Nazis.

In @JoeBiden's upside down world, being an "ally of the light" means helping Nazi security forces take over the defense department of Ukraine. Fighting Nazis is Biden's view of darkness. He is no different from the Bush Nazi Dynasty. #NeverBiden

It can go deeper than that too. What the connection with proud boys? I have a fit locally.
