4/ I work for @lighttuponlight because I believe that people are redeemable. The precedent that is set with these comments is that if an individual makes a mistake, they are forever beyond redemption. It discounts the possibilities for learning and growth in our communities.

No, the precedent is that grifter orgs like Light Upon Light are claiming that people like Jeff Schoep and Frankie Meeink are reformed, but they're really not. Like, Meeink is literally hanging out with another hate group now, and you're holding him out as a success.

Here are @SchoepJeff and @frankiemeeink’s handles. Please reach out to them. Speak directly to the sources...not about them to other people. I’m sure they’d be happy to talk with you. The truth is always more nuanced than Twitter threads allow.

It's absolutely wild that you want to dance around the fact that one of @lighttuponlight's "influencers" is working with a hate group. Sam, your anti-hate group has at least one associate working with a hate group. Does that not alarm you?

This is a one-time video, where Frank (as an individual, not representing anybody but himself) is warning about the dangers of neo-Nazi ideology and how being in the movement denigrated him as a human being. Independent of the platform, the message is clear.

Frank has been doing plenty of work since the late '90's to fight the ideas he once espoused. If you watch the whole thing, he also speaks about hate not being able to be fought with hate, but with compassion.
