NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

This video was indeed real. The account sharing it on Twitter is filled with anti-Semitic content. The clip, which was posted a few weeks ago, seems to have been taken down this morning.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 17h

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Even if Proud Boys aren't joining (and here is no confirmation), federal paramilitary forces clearly recruit from the same pool and share overlapping ideological and political goals. As has always been the case, far right gangs and street groups work with law enforcement, not against.

This is incredibly stupid unless you want Russian intel to know everything you say & how to manipulate you

Finally got time to finish your article, both very informative and concerning on many fronts. Wow.
Knowing courage is contagious gives me hope.
Their saga seems reminiscent of ‘Lord of the Flies.’ And now they can only self-identify with their 79 year old man child idol. Whatever can go wrong?

Reporter @andybcampbell.bsky.social who wrote a great book on the Proud Boys said one reason they seem to have "dwindle" is that the "campaign of political violence that they were on in Trump’s first term is now part and parcel of Trump’s administration.” talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

If Trump has ICE to brawl in the street on his behalf, does he still need the Proud Boys? The Proud Boys are wondering that too.

"Well obviously" is the least useful response to both journalism and science. Plenty of things that seem obvious turn out not to be true. It's good to investigate the stuff that we take for granted.
