4/ Here he is with Patriot Prayer's Tiny Toese in Providence, RI, on 10/6/18, armed with a Proud Boys shield.
The Proud Boys crossed a police line to attack protesters that day.

5/ @DLamontJenkins snapped this photo of him, too, wearing a Crusader helmet.
Crusader imagery acts as shorthand for Islamophobic sentiment on the alt-right.pic.twitter.com/yeHDYi6Pw8
6/ You can read all about that day here.https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/5/27/1859465/-Far-right-street-brawlers-just-can-t-escape-their-violent-hateful-and-bigoted-roots …
7/ Proud Boy Michael Costa is also a raging antisemite. He uses his Telegram channel to spread antisemitic conspiracy theories, like claiming that "members of a small hate wearing tribe" control the media.pic.twitter.com/1SxMA35Wd6
8/ He also uses the (((echoes))) to talk about Jewish people on Twitter. The use of the triple parentheses to denote Jewishness is an antisemitic meme developed by the podcast The Daily Shoah. ("Shoah" is the Hebrew word for "Holocaust.")pic.twitter.com/9cK7Sxavln
8a/ For a brief history of the meme, see here.https://www.mic.com/articles/144228/echoes-exposed-the-secret-symbol-neo-nazis-use-to-target-jews-online …
9/ He also spreads a popular neo-Nazi conspiracy theory, that Jews disproportionately owned Slaves in the Antebellum South. And for some reason, he hates the term "Judeo-Christian"? Yeesh. Antisemites are touchy!pic.twitter.com/Uozud2uoHO
10/ And on Twitter, he shares white nationalist conspiracy theories, like this video from Lauren Southern. It's a propaganda piece on the "white genocide" that white nationalists claim is happening in South Africa.pic.twitter.com/pB4qRRouc6
11/ White nationalists believe that "white genocide" is a Jewish conspiracy designed to replace white people in white-majority countries.https://www.adl.org/resources/glossary-terms/white-genocide …
12/ Costa is also fond of using violent imagery against leftists in general. Here, his Twitter banner photo depicts leftists being dropped from helicopters emblazoned with the Proud Boys logo, a reference to the Pinochet regime's systematic murder of socialist organizers.pic.twitter.com/jVq4rnMgui
13/ If anyone at @RICNews wants to read more about their student Michael Costa's involvement with a violent hate group, they can read all about the Proud Boys here.https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys …
14/ The cops don't protect us here. They're not watching antisemites and members of violent hate groups. It's up to us to protect our own communities.
15/ So what can you do?
Tweet this thread to @RICNews, telling them all about their antisemitic student, Michael Costa, aka "Red Pill Dragon," a member of the Proud Boys, a violent hate group.
