@ahatcher54 This isn’t quite the answer to your question, but this article that popped up in my feed today does make some decent arguments for going full electric in 2024. https://t.co/jW0vmchjjJ

@talhagin Here's the original source image for those that still need high-resolution and multiple photos to confirm the reality of it. https://t.co/05j1Pl3nyE

@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.

@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?!?)

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.

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. https://t.co/X7ewaJlngD

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.

[Anthony Crider @acrider]

The protests in Pittsboro seem to be uniting the far-right. This weekend included people from League of the South, Proud Boys, The Hiwaymen, ACTBAC, and Heirs to the Confederacy. The first three of these marched in Charlottesville at the original Unite the Right event in 2017.

@juliettekayyem @CNN @Boris_Sanchez Here's my pic of Proud Boy Jeremy Bertino wearing RWDS on his sleeve and "Pinochet Did Nothing Wrong!" on the front at a protest in 2019. In the album, you can see those he was befriending that day, as well. https://t.co/gesixcPKst

@NoLieWithBTC And here's my pic of Bertino wearing his "Pinochet Did Nothing Wrong!" T-Shirt with RWDS on the sleeve back in 2019. He was protesting with several other groups that day in Pittsboro. https://t.co/gesixcPKst

Meanwhile, just a little farther northeast in Raleigh, a "parasol patrol" was ready to shield drag brunch attendees from an angry crowd but no such crowd showed up.

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.

[Anthony Crider @acrider]

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.
