2/ Samson has been an organizer with Resist Marxism since they were founded in the Fall of 2017 by Kyle "Based Stickman" Chapman.

6/ He attended Resist Marxism's 8/18/18 rally in Boston, too. Pretty weird behavior for a guy who claims to hate Nazis.

12/ That was finally enough to Samson, and he temporarily suspended his ties with Resist Marxism.

13/ So he wasn't around when Mark Sahady planned an April rally with the Proud Boys as security. In leaked chats, the Proud Boys targeted specific protesters and shared pictures of the weapons they planned to use.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-chat-logs-premeditate-rally-violence-in-leaked-chats_n_5ce1e231e4b00e035b928683 …

14/ But that violence wasn't enough for Samson to cut his ties altogether. When Mark Sahady rebranded Resist Marxism as Super Happy Fun America to plan the Straight Pride Parade, Samson signed on as one of their lead organizers.pic.twitter.com/YFsqAgBf9P

15/ In July, Samson went with SHFA to DC, for the 7/6 fascist rally, along with a young man named Brandon Sullivan. At the rally, while standing next to Samson, Sullivan punched someone who was attempting to protect Black Lives Matter demonstrators from the SHFA group.pic.twitter.com/vYKX725rEU

18/ And in the leadup to the Straight Pride Parade in August, Samson was on hand to offer a variety of anti-gay and anti-trans sentiment. In an interview with the Boston Globe, Samson claimed that straight people were under "attack."https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/marijuana/2019/08/29/ignore-straight-pride-parade-fight-lgbtq-community-divided-over-how-respond/6DJxfIdOgM2puKqVL896dK/story.html …

23/ So why am I dropping this now, telling
@NewEnglandLaw that one of their students, Samson Racioppi, has ties to violent hate groups? Some of their students reached out to me. They don't feel safe on campus, and they fear retaliation from coming forward themselves.Afficher cette discussion -
24/
@NewEnglandLaw, by admitting a far-right organizer who associates with violent hate groups, you've created an unsafe atmosphere for your students. Your students can't even speak out without fear of retaliation from the violent hate groups Samson associates with.Afficher cette discussion -
25/ Your students have been bullied into silence,
@NewEnglandLaw. You need to do something about the presence of Samson Racioppi on your campus.Afficher cette discussion
