“We treat Moms for Liberty like the KKK. If you knew that a KKK meeting was happening in a church down the street from your house, everyone would be alarmed.”

Flushed with hate. Mouths agape:
Moms for Liberty is a far-right hate group that engages in anti-student inclusion activities while purporting to be a modern parental rights movement. Moms for Liberty are the notorious, right-wing zealots who terrorize the nation with their beliefs, their demands, and their dangerous ubiquity.

Moms for Liberty made their national debut in America on the Rush Limbaugh Show.

The GOP LOVES MFL: Of late, this extremist group has exploded in GOP popularity — propelled by opposition to public health regulations for COVID-19. They’re also notorious for opposing LGBTQ+ culture and racially inclusive school curriculum. MFL advocates book bans. Republicans are thrilled with all of the above, of course.

This anti-student inclusion hate group has waged a wicked war against public schools, with watchdog members pouncing to seize hundreds of school board seats across the country.

Moms for Liberty rail against teachers’ unions — condemning them as “terrorist organizations.” The Moms have called for the Department of Education to be crushed and eliminated.

Moms for Liberty’s attacks on the LGBTQ+ community are plentiful and poisonous.

Members of MFL even helped Gov. Ron DeSantis develop Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Moms for Liberty publicly championed the bill.

Moms for Liberty are fangirls of Adolf Hitler, quoting and saluting him on the cover of their June 2023 newsletter.

Purportedly on a mission to protect children, Moms for Liberty pack and attack school board meetings all across America. During the COVID crisis, they decried science and demanded an end to masking in schools and vaccine mandates.

MFL promote book bans, and denounce curricula infused with the critical race theory they deem so deeply offensive. The Moms stand opposed to inclusive curriculum: targeting critical race theory and social emotional learning with particular vitriol.

TIES TO AN INSURRECTIONIST: Trump campaign megadonor Julie Jenkins Fancelli — heiress to the Publix grocery store chain — contributed $50,000 to a Moms for Liberty political action committee. Never forget, Fancelli also donated millions to finance and support the January 6 rallies which lead to the violent storming of the Capitol Complex.

One chapter of Moms for Liberty took issue with a book by Ruby Bridges on the subject of school integration — detailing her experiences. The Moms also protested a book on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which they bashed as “Anti-American, Anti-White, and Anti-Mexican.” Rather than these books, which they deemed unacceptable, the Moms advocated for books with what they describe as a more positive historical perspective: books that focus on American “heroes” like Clarence Thomas.

Moms for Liberty also recommends books by Birchers: supporters of the John Birch Society.

Moms for Liberty is not an isolated anti-woke, anti-government hate group. The Moms are quite socially active and have strong connections to fellow anti-woke, anti-government hate groups: White nationalists, election deniers, and participants in the January 6th rallies and attacks are all among MFL’s regular contacts.

In fact, Moms for Liberty connect with QAnon, Three Percenters, White nationalist Proud Boys, and more. Moms for Liberty have even been prominently pictured with various Proud Boys, flashing White power signs.

@nytdavidbrooks This article is spot on @nytdavidbrooks. You changed my mind on this issue. It helps me understand some of the backlash against LGBTQ+ folks/topics. This is why I love reading your columns and faithfully watch you and @CapehartJ on PBS every Friday night.

I’m on the House Floor and Boebert is introducing articles of impeachment on President Biden. I see even Republicans rolling their eyes. Lmao

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

You’d have to be a moron to defend Trump. Especially with him being charged under Espionage Act.

The DoJ case is ironclad. They no doubt have the evidence to convict him.

[Dr. Marvin Dunn @MarvinDunn4]

Casey DeSantis Florida's First Lady makes a racist fashion statement. Black babies as alligator bait was a theme in racist Florida humor of the early 1900s. It's an inside joke. If you are not from Florida, you may not get it. She does. Do you?

I stand with the #TennesseeThree.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

- Child molestation
- Domestic violence
- Corruption

Those are issues that DO NOT rise to the level of expulsion from Congress in Tennessee.

But protesting gun violence after a deadly mass shooting can get Reps Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson expelled.

I stand with the #TennesseeThree. ✊

Whenever there's a mass shooting involving children, politicians who are owned by the NRA should be required to look in the faces of parents and explain why they failed to protect their kids.

RT TO SPREAD THIS PARTIAL LIST.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Frost: All of this because politicians in this chamber that have been bought by the NRA, cowards who wasted our time passing a parental bill of rights not giving a damn about the rights of children to be able to go to their classrooms without the fear of being gunned down

Kari Lake is falsely claiming fraud in Arizona because she knows she’s going to lose.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

The red wave was a big, fat LIE.

Instead of offering solutions, the Republican party offered lies, fear, and hatred.

The #TrumpWave ended up just like trump:
Flaccid, impotent, and lacked SIZE.😏
