A cleaner still image from the video obtained by CNN shows the ICE agents who murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero were wearing body cams. Don’t believe their lies.

Two murderers wearing bullet vests presumably talking about how to cover up their crimes.

Users on Reddit are saying these are the ICE agents in Biddeford, Maine who murdered Joan Sebastian Guerrero today. A still image from a video obtained by CNN shows these two at the murder scene.

two ICE agents in bullet proof vests are talking next to an SUV. One is facing the camera and has a beard and is a bit chubby. He is wearing sun glasses and a baseball hat. The other agent is facing away from the camera and is wearing a baseball hat. He has short dark hair.

the same two guys are seen in a different video in the immediate aftermath of the murder.

A new scholarly article I co-authored is out at the Quarterly Journal of Speech. If you like reading communication theory and thinking about how to apply it to confront groups like Patriot Front, this article is for you.

Parasitism reconsidered: far-right relationality and the rhetoric of Patriot Front

ABSTRACT
Taking an alternative theoretical route to the study of far-right and white nationalist rhetoric, this essay extends extant literature by attending the forms of relationality fashioned in the rhetoric of Patriot Front in order to make a more robust claim regarding white nationalist relationality more broadly. Such a focus on relationality, we contend, offers important lessons for scholars of far-right rhetoric, as well as for rhetorical theorists of the public. Specifically, we hope to extend Larson and McHendry's notion of parasitic publics using Michel Serres’ work on the semantic possibilities of parasitism as a way of theorizing human relationality and of assembling the public world. Doing so nuances our understanding of parasitism and relationality, suggesting that what should be of primary concern are the ethical frameworks of our relationality. While the relationality of Patriot Front and white nationalism more generally is hostile towards difference and premised upon a logic of linearity and identity, a radically democratic relationality might instead be based upon a logic of becoming and be thankful for and hospitable to difference. The theoretical ambit of the parasite holds room for both possibilities, demanding ethical choice on behalf of the public itself.

Michael Rogin once noted that it is tempting to “cling to instrumental rationality” to make sense of black suffering and death, in order to “defend against the horror at the center of [the] story.”23 Du Bois’s “public and psychological wage” thesis arguably casts antiblack racism in instrumental terms by stressing its role in a transaction that serves the ends of capital. Yet Du Bois also confronts the “horror” of which Rogin spoke. When he “sees through” white people, he finds them to be in thrall to the belief that they are “demi-gods,” driven by “ungovernable” rage, and inclined to take pleasure in black pain and death. These startling reflections on the irrationality of antiblackness urge us to face the most troubling features of racism in the United States today.

b/c the wages of whiteness continue to pay dividends

It must be remembered that the white group of laborers, while they received a low wage, were compensated in part by a sort of public and psychological wage. They were given public deference and titles of courtesy because they were white. They were admitted freely with all classes of white people to public functions, public parks, and the best schools. The police were drawn from their ranks, and the courts, dependent on their votes, treated them with such leniency as to encourage lawlessness. Their vote selected public officials, and while this had small effect upon the economic situation, it had great effect upon their personal treatment and the deference shown them. White schoolhouses were the best in the community, and conspicuously placed, and they cost anywhere from twice to ten times as much per capita as the colored schools. The newspapers specialized on news that flattered the poor whites and almost utterly ignored the Negro except in crime and ridicule. (Black Reconstruction [1935], 700-701)

This is funny b/c the neo-Nazis in Patriot Front hate Donald Trump. At best PF sees Trump as useful for pushing white nationalist rhetoric into the center of US politics. At worst, PF sees Trump/MAGA as controlled by Israel. Some PF guys like Avery Ruiz openly talk about harming Trump supporters.

Screencap of Jamelle Bouie in which he says Patriot Front are Trump supporters. An image of PF guys holding flags is in the screencap.

Greg Bovino appeared on Kevin DeAnna's podcast this week. DeAnna was a long time contributor to the white nationalist website VDare. DeAnna likes to share manifestos of neo-Nazi terrorists, including the one penned by the Christchurch shooter that inspired the mosque attack in San Diego. 1/2

Chicago-area Proud Boys Terry Newsome finally got a large account to repost his content but X just doesn't have the juice.

A screenshot that shows a large X account with 415,000 followers reposting content Terry Newsome made about me but the repost only got 4,300 views over the last 15 hours. Yikes!

Always great to talk to the amazing @philinvestigates.com about the violent white nationalists who join Active Clubs and what they are planning for our communities. Members of Active Clubs want more race riots in our world and they're learning that GOP officials want them too.

A screenshot of the article that quotes me. “Members of Active Clubs have a few key reasons to paying attention to what is going on in Belfast. First, white nationalists spend a lot of their time trying to make White people afraid of non-White groups. White nationalists do this by claiming non-White groups are more prone to act violently, which is what I’ve seen from Active Club channels on Telegram responding to the race riots in Belfast. White nationalists in Active Clubs connect individual acts of violence against White people that occur anywhere in the world to a perceived anti-White system. It’s all lies and bigotry. In reality, white-on-white violence is a bigger threat to White people. For example, I know of several Active Club members who are currently in jail for domestic violence in which they beat their partners, all of whom were White women. Leaders of Active Clubs don’t want anybody to know this because it will destroy their narrative about who commits violence.”

Don't worry MAGA, Terry Newsome is on it!

Jeff Tischauser@jtischauser· Jun 10

Hours and hours! of Terry Newsome choosing which X account to spam with his videos, not to mention editing/producing the video, writing/editing the posts, uploading the video.

Jeff Tischauser@jtischauser· Jun 10

Terry spammed a few accounts about me being antifa, then replied to about 3 dozen accounts with a video of him confronting the leader of Act Blue. Dozens! That's a lot!

Chicago-area Proud Boys Terry Newsome, who is in D.C. this week attending hearings at the U.S. Capitol, spent several hours last night spamming X accounts with videos he made of himself barking at leaders of nonprofits. How desperate and pathetic. 🧵

Screenshots of X posts. Terry Newsome replying to X accounts with this message. The message is the same, just change out the account Terry is responding to.

@RepChipRoy
, I was in the hearing yesterday.
@PeteSessions
got me in. I sat right in front of you at the press table. I was a target of the SPLC for speaking out against porn in my kids' school. I confronted that PoS liar, Bryan Fair, out in the hall after his testimony. I asked him why he hires ANTIFA if he's anti-hate. As expected, no answer.

She called me her “little sunflower” and handed me these. Not bragging just here to say this is the first time someone has ever bought me flowers and I see why people like it. I feel special.

An image of Greg Bovino wearing a coat that looks like it could have been worn by Nazi SS officers. There's a strange rune type symbol under his photo.
