Sonja Shaw: a puppet dangling on the strings of right wing extremist, thrives on the spotlight rather than substance. Why tweet when you can read the full saga of disastrous leadership on SCEW? #readthereceipts /5

Meet Anthony Cabassa: A far-right Catholic and excellerationist, fascist streamer who’s not just working with LOKA but also organizing for the GOP and using Nazi insignia. The next big SoCal headache? The new Republican crowd he’s rallying. #SoCalProblems #GOPChaos

SoCal GOP’s been playing hide and seek with their crazy, but the MAGA influx on boards and committees is turning the game into Jumanji. Control is the prize, and ‘unrecognizable’ is the new party dress code. #GOPTransformation #MAGAMakeover

Ventura County’s failed R-candidates are banding together like a superhero squad with questionable powers. With a boost from the Far-Right Move The Needle PAC, they’re storming the Central CommitteeāLori Mills in tow. #VenturaVillains #PoliticalPivot /8
Letās take a second to laugh at Lori Mills. /9
Tim McCarty, failed supervisor candidate and founder of Move the Needle PAC: laughable until you realize he’s seriously spreading hate and fear like it’s his day job. #WatchOutForTim /10
Ventura isn’t the only county with a wild Central Committeeālet’s take a tour to LA! Thereās Crazy Cabassa and his sidekick Lucy Volotzky failed Ca Senate candidate who rallies on the streets with Proud Boys and Campaigns with LOKA extremist. /11
Double duty or double trouble? Massaquoi, fresh from an FBI arrest for his January 6 antics, still holds his spots on the LAGOP board and Central Committee. #InsurrectionInfluence #LAGOP /12
Sharing the GOP stage with Massaquoi is none other than Matt Funicello, a violent and racist discharged LA sheriff deputy and Moms for Liberty leader with a past as colorful as it is troubling. What a pair! #LAGOP /13
Moms of Liberty’s Matt takes ‘parental involvement’ to new heightsāfilmed threatening folks with his giant white truck at a Hart District School board meeting. Because how else would you show up? #ExtremeParenting #SchoolBoardDrama
