The #ProudBoys have launched a memecoin called "Proud Coin". The members who were imprisoned after January 6th are going to use the money raised to sue the American Dept. of Justice for wrongful imprisonment.
oh, and #EnriqueTarrio got arrested at the presser he called to promote it.

#FarRight #Militia Leader Hints at TERRIFYING New career Path
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who received a full pardon for crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, said Wednesday he has decided to run for public office.
One dynamic borne out repeatedly in recent years is that MAGA politicians who are not Trump generally suck shit at getting elected. I’m all for Tarrio wasting his time on this quest instead of organizing fascist street violence with his gang of neo-Nazi incel morons. Here’s hoping he has a debilitating coke stroke at a campaign event & then avails himself of right-to-die laws. 
The #ProudBoys Are Plotting a Comeback. And They Want Revenge
Fresh out of federal prison, former Proud Boys leader #EnriqueTarrio suggests he’s still in charge as the #FarRight organization looks to regroup.

Excerpt: "'The Proud Boys are not terrorist masterminds. These are not the brightest #neofascists out there,' said Jon Lewis, a research fellow at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism. 'But they are committed to the cause. They are single-minded in this mission now: for revenge, for retribution. And as we’ve seen before, they are willing to go across state lines and use violence in furtherance of their goals.'
"An analysis of Proud Boys’ social media channels by the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism identified a surge in online activity following the January 6 pardons, including discussions of ramping up real-world activism to help further the Trump administration's agenda. 'Posts from Proud Boys groups reveal an emboldened network, with members fantasizing about mass deportation schemes and threatening to escalate their attacks during #PrideMonth,' the GPAHE said in a statement. 'These developments point to a broader alignment between extremist groups and the Trump regime, raising urgent concerns about public safety and the normalization of far-right violence.' A North Carolina chapter, via its Telegram channel, proposed carrying out 'bount[ies on illegals.' A chapter in upstate New York gleefully circulated a rumor that Immigration and Customs Enforcement was offering $750 rewards to turn in undocumented #immigrants.
"In the years since the Capitol riot, as dozens of Proud Boy members and leaders copped charges for the insurrection, the group became increasingly elusive and unpredictable. They pivoted away from large-scale public demonstrations—which would often involve 100 or so Proud Boys descending on a city, clad in yellow and black, reeking of beer, looking for media attention and fights—and instead embedded themselves into hyperlocal culture wars across the country, in many cases aligning themselves with #ChristianNationalists. They started showing up to small protests against vaccines, crashed school board meetings, and intimidated attendees at #drag brunches. For the most part, they stayed away from cities or towns where they were likely to encounter opposition.
"Though they mobilized in a few instances in support of Trump ahead of the 2024 election, it was, overall, fairly lackluster, especially compared to 2020. This drove speculation that the gang was on its last legs.
"Then, on Monday, as Trump was taking the oath of office, more than 100 uniformed Proud Boys marched through the streets of Washington, DC, led by their south-Florida chapter.
"It was a striking scene—one that seemed intended to send a clear message: 'We’re back.'"

WIRED · The Proud Boys Are Plotting a Comeback. And They Want Revenge
Jen Psaki:
Trumps Begnadigungen haben ein Monster geschaffen, das er nicht kontrollieren kann
"Ich versuche, den Leuten keine Angst zu machen, aber es gibt Momente, in denen es mir angebracht erscheint. Die Entscheidung von Präsident Donald #Trump, die Strafen von rund 1.500 am Aufstand vom 6. Januar beteiligten Personen zu begnadigen oder in Strafen umzuwandeln, darunter mehr als 600 Menschen, die wegen Angriffen oder Widerstands gegen Polizisten verurteilt wurden, ist einer dieser Momente.
Ich muss ständig daran denken, was #EnriqueTarrio , der wegen Aufruhrverschwörung zu 22 Jahren Haft verurteilte Anführer der Proud Boys , dem „Infowars“-Moderator Alex Jones nach seiner Freilassung zu sagen hatte: „Ich bin froh, dass der Präsident nicht auf Vergeltung, sondern auf Erfolg setzt, aber ich sage Ihnen, dass ich mich nicht an diese Regeln halten werde.“

Continued thread
By including #EnriqueTarrio, the former leader of the #ProudBoys, in his extraordinary #pardons for the events of #Jan6, 2021, Trump granted clemency on to a man whom prosecutors have described as a savvy, street-fighting #extremist who helped his compatriots in “Trump’s army” initiate an assault on the Capitol.
Until the #pardons were issued, Tarrio, 42, was serving a 22-yr prison term after being convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy & other felonies for his role….

Justices #Alito & #Kavanaugh questioned the #DOJ’s use of the “obstruction of an official proceeding” charge, & whether Congress meant to turn illegal & disruptive protesting, a #misdemeanor punishable by only a year or less in prison, into a #felony that carries a potential 20-yr sentence.
The only #Jan6 defendant given a sentence at or over 20 years is #ProudBoys leader #EnriqueTarrio, who was also convicted of leading a #SeditiousConspiracy to block Biden from taking office.
