Submitted by Luke on Sun, 03/26/2023 - 00:22

On the 25th of March, Tampa FL's Pride parade took to the streets. The Nazis who harassed a Pride event the previous night were nowhere to be seen, but trouble came from another kind of Fascists. After the Mayor, a drum section, and a warship/pirate ship themed float for a health group had passed came the police contingent. They circled and circled on motorcycles, stopping all behind them while the parade route emptied.

On the 19th of March, New York City kicked the Proud Boy's asses as they began building up for the possible indictment of Donald Trump on Tues, March 21.

On the 4th of February, several members of the same extreme-right Christian cult that harassed the Dec 29 Clearwater drag show turned up at Pasco County FL's Pride event.
