Violent right-wing extremist Andy Ngo has been locked out of Twitter after apparently violating the site's Terms of Service prohibiting violent speech. At least two of Andy Ngo's tweets were ruled to be violations.

The lockout comes after a nearly 24-hour relentless barrage of anti-trans propaganda from Ngo, which also saw Ngo's network of fellow propagandists spreading transphobic hoaxes lifted straight from 4chan.

Andy Ngo has been suspended or locked out of Twitter multiple times for various violations including hate speech and doxxing.

The FBI used an undercover cop with pink hair to spy on activists and manufacture crimes.

The pink-haired woman calling herself "Chelsie" began hanging out at Chinook Center, a community space for left-wing activists in Colorado Springs. Chelise hinted that she was a sex worker - but her identity was as fake as her long pink hair. The young woman, whose real name is April Rogers, is a detective at the Colorado Springs Police Department. The FBI enlisted her to infiltrate and spy on racial justice groups during the summer of 2020. https://theintercept.com/2023/03/21/fbi-colorado-springs-surveillance/

It's about DAMN time the light is shone on this- let's see if it creates any real change. #JusticeforAndresGuardado who relatives believe LASD gangs victimized Andres planting a gun and tearing down/destroying all the surveillance cameras/evidence that would have proved this was a murder. The family has already won a settlement- but that is not justice. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/02/us/andres-guardado-los-angeles-police-shooting-settlement-reaj/index.html

"They create rituals that valorize violence, such as recording all deputy involved shootings in an official book," the report continued, "celebrating with 'shooting parties,' and authorizing deputies who have shot a community member to add embellishments to their common gang tattoos."

#Portland, Activist friends- peep this 👀
Holy shit- I cannot believe the truth abt this bullshit is finally coming out 25yrs later.

I moved into a house w/ a couple cool chicks in Portland in the mid 90s- I had no idea I'd witness the depravity of our government attacking good ppl. Shortly after I moved in I discovered one of them was an activist when I saw her on TV w/ her head u-locked to the steering wheel of a car blocking the entrance to a primate center.✊ She dated Craig & together they ran the #LiberationCollective- the office was up the block- fuck yeah they were awesome.

When the Portland Police Bureau targeted & attacked/ beat, trampled him w/ a horse & jailed Craig at a peaceful protest- I helped photo/document his injuries- when he sued the city & won- one of the only ppl I've known to win a police brutality case against PDX.

This is wild- I knew a bunch of it- but still trying to wrap my head around this admission rt now. Big ups #CraigRosebraugh #ELF #ALF fukU #FBI

Honestly I've been seeing some of the same red flags in the protest community now that I didn't see/wish I would have back then. Be safe folx.
