2) So who is J.L. Van Dyke? He's a former lawyer from Texas who was banned from Twitter for using racial slurs.https://twitter.com/TalibKweli/status/928427293919399937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E928427293919399937&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2Fentry%2Flawyer-anti-fascist-lawsuit_us_5a0aefbee4b0b17ffce028fe …

3) For more in-depth coverage, see
@justwardoctrine's coverage of J.L. Van Dyke here.https://medium.com/@justinward/better-call-j-l-584074ea2968 …Afficher cette discussion -
4) He's got a history of tweeting threats of racial violence. EXTREME CW for anti-Black violence in the next tweet.

6) And as
@justwardoctrine points out in his profile of J.L., it's *very* likely that Van Dyke is a longtime poster on the Stormfront message board.pic.twitter.com/7PPRsT22GY

7) Van Dyke's history of racism and violent threats was also well documented on Popehat.https://www.popehat.com/2017/07/09/texas-attorney-jason-l-van-dyke-fraudulent-buffoon-violence-threatening-online-tough-guy-vexatious-litigant-proud-bigot-and-all-around-human-dumpster-fire/ …

8) Among the revelations? He's got a history of making violent social media threats to his critics and their families.pic.twitter.com/DGEfChSlfw

9) In fact, here's some of WNLaw's posts on Stormfront. His name is Jason, he's a lawyer, now 38, 6'1", 210 lbs, green eyes, brown hair, and he, too, likes discussing J.L. Van Dyke. Just like J.L. Van Dyke.pic.twitter.com/0F8YpnSBc6

9) So what do we do now that the Proud Boys-- a violent ultranationalist hate group-- are being led by a violent white nationalist?

10) We need to stop treating them like a goofy men's fraternal organization. That just gives them ideological cover. They're an ultranationalist gang that now has a violent white nationalist leading them.

11) We need to acknowledge that the Proud Boys organized to attack protesters in Providence on 10/6, and in NYC on 10/12. And that they've been organizing violent assaults with Patriot Prayer for the last year.

12) Will the leadership of white nationalist J.L. Van Dyke stymie their organizing? Maybe. But only if we stop treating them like a fraternal organization and start treating them like what they are. An ultranationalist hate group led by a white nationalist.

13) The police won't protect us here. We need to defend our own communities from this threat. And that starts by acknowledging the threat they pose.

14) Expose them everywhere they go. Tell their employers about them. Get them fired.

15) The people of Philadelphia recently stood up to defend their community to get Proud Boy Andrew Kovalic fired. He was supposed to be helping with security for the 11/17 fascist rally there. https://www.inquisitr.com/5165562/comcast-fires-employee-andrew-kovalic-after-its-revealed-hes-a-member-of-far-right-group-proud-boys/ …

16) But after you folks got him fired? He didn't even show up for the rally.

17) Deplatforming fascists works. The police and the state won't save us here. It's on us. But I've seen you folks step up time and time again to defend your communities.

18) We're breaking their organizing, but we can't stop now. We need to continue to stop fascist organizing. Expose them. Call their employers. Tell them that their employee belongs to the Proud Boys-- an ultranationalist hate group led by a racist.

19) We need to fight back with every tool we've got. And it's going to take all of us. But
#WeGotThis.
