    The "playground protest" organized by anti-vax activists who tore down caution tape and told their kids to go play is now being shared around the right-wing information ecosystem. As it was designed to do. https://twitter.com/codeofvets/status/1252781407950135296 …

        Antivaxxers in Idaho purposely cut down tape around a playground, and in a FB live by Not-a-Toxicologist Ashley Everly, refused police orders and mouthed off to the cops. Now they're playing victim. Not today antivaxxers, not today. https://twitter.com/RadioDawson/status/1252785491264430080 … pic.twitter.com/0CcaA9BxYu

        The footage shared by Everly shares her yelling "the death rate is 0.1 percent" at the cops, shortly before someone else calls them "German Stasi" and yells "Who's your Fuhrer" at them in a mock German accent. Mixing up some historical eras there.

        Replies to this truly piss me off. If that was a black man the police would've tased or shot him and all these people would be yelling about how he should've just done exactly what the police say no questions asked.

        I guess retweeting that stunt is a great way of "using social media as a tool to assist veterans in crisis/need." Tax-exempt huh? Wonder what their 990 looks like.

        In 2019, their website reports (unaudited) spending $3,124 on "PayPal currency conversion." How many foreign donors is that? Not clear what separates that from a regular PayPal fee ($17,969) since each has a percentage and fixed fee. They haven't filed a 990 yet.

        What's funny/infuriating is that when they see brown people being harassed and treated unfairly by police they go "Well maybe they shouldn't break the law" A couple Karens intentionally break the law and it's all "muh rights"

        I’ve never seen so many GOP Trump supporters suddenly turn on the cops, who they support when the victims is POC. I love that the astroturfed campaign went rogue and is now engaged in fragging their own side because the base is full of defective sheep.

        Anti-vaxxers should be prosecuted for child endangerment.
