Guess Who’s Funding Barricades And Porta-Potties At Madison’s Marxist-Antifa Encampment

Far-left foot soldiers linked with Black Lives Matter and Antifa have established a two-block autonomous zone along Williamson Street in Madison, Wisconsin, following the death of 38-year-old Corey Durrell Ruiz.

Ruiz, who had reportedly been released from prison (read report) shortly before the incident, was approached by police while riding a bicycle after allegedly attempting to enter several vehicles. Far-left activists have since designated the occupied area the Corey Ruiz Autonomous Zone, or CRAZ.

The encampment appears designed to demonstrate control over public space while creating conditions in which any police intervention could be framed as state repression. However, reporting from local media and anti-communist commentator Karlyn Borysenko suggests the local government is accommodating, and potentially enabling, the occupation rather than moving to dismantle it.

“So who’s funding the barricades and the porta-potties in the BLM/Antifa autonomous zone (the CRAZ) in Madison, Wisconsin? You’re not going to believe the answer. And I provide the receipts to prove it,” Borysenko wrote on X.

Borysenko pointed to reporting from local outlet WMTV 15 News that says the municipal government is funding part of the CRAZ.

BLM Is Back And Protesting The Police Shooting Of Another Violent Career Criminal

They are far less active across the US in 2026, but not truly gone. Is it exasperating, or, is it entertaining? It depends on how you look at it. Yes, the Black Lives Matter movement is back, and big surprise, they’re angry over the police shooting of another violent minority criminal. But, is he black?

Not according to his extensive offender detail record, in which his race is listed as “White” and his ethnicity is listed as “Latino”.  Yet another in a long line of imprisoned minority perpetrators falsely identified as white on their rap sheet in order to artificially reduce official crime stats.  That said, it’s nice to know that BLM is finally admitting that all lives matter. 

Corey Durrell Ruiz, 38, recently released from prison, was approached by police while riding a bicycle after allegedly attempting to enter (break into) random vehicles in Madison, Wisconsin.  He was also suspected of a previous bike theft.  

When officers attempted to detain Ruiz, he ran.  He was tackled off the bike, but produced a fixed blade knife and stabbed one of the officers.  The wounded officer fired three shots, killing the suspect.

Netflix Sparks Anger After Social Media Users Notice the Company’s Disgusting Summary of All-Time Classic Film “Gone with the Wind”

Netflix has sparked a national uproar after using its website to trash “Gone With The Wind,” which is universally regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made.

As TGP readers know, “Gone with the Wind” is a 1939 epic historical romantic film set during the 1800s. The movie showcases the ups and downs of Scarlett O’Hara’s life, played by Vivien Leigh, in the years leading up to, during, and after the American Civil War.

“Gone with the Wind” won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It is also the highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation.

But instead of highlighting the impeccable acting, vision, and writing that have made “Gone With The Wind” an enduring masterpiece, Netflix whipped out the race card in its summary of the film.

“A 1939 Civil War epic known for its racism,” the description reads. “To read more about Black lives in America, search ‘Black Lives Matter.”

While “Gone With The Wind” is currently unavailable to stream on Netflix in the United States, the above summary is very much real.

BLM Activist Targets White Christians with a Disgusting Suggestion After Minneapolis Officials Move to Close Popular Dog Park

A Minnesota Black Lives Matter Activist declared war on whites earlier this week in a social media post while whining about the upcoming closure of a dog park.

As Fox News reported, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board recently voted 8-1 to close the Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park by the end of the year due to concern that it is part of the Mni Owe Sni (Coldwater Spring) Traditional Cultural Place.

The Minnehaha Dog Park is a 6.6-acre riverfront area that features hiking trails. Dogs with required permits can roam freely.

Alpha News notes that the land is sacred to Dakota tribes and officials believe there are unmarked graves from the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.

“There was a concentration camp there at Fort Snelling, at the Bdóte area, and due to that, history there, there were a lot of relatives, ancestors who died over that winter,” Maggie Lorenz, executive director of Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi, told CBS Minnesota.

“Because of that, there were a lot of unmarked graves and burials around that area,” she added.

Chauntyll Allen, a St. Paul school board member and co-founder of Black Lives Matter (BLM) Twin Cities, was unhappy with the move to close the park and had a vile suggestion for the board.

Trolls Ignite Social Media Firestorm with Photos of Protesters Peeing on Murder Victim Austin Metcalf’s Grave

Outrage and disgust went viral this week as internet trolls posted doctored photos on social media of purported black protestors urinating on white murder victim Austin Metcalf’s grave.

The photos appear to show images of holders of X accounts “pissing” on Metcalf’s grave in reaction to 19-year-old killer Karmelo Anthony’s conviction earlier this week by a Texas jury.

“FUCK AUSTINNNNN METCALF,” one photo of a young women desecrating the grave was captioned, allegedly by an account attributed to “Mari Hicks.”

Anthony, who is black, was convicted of fatally stabbing Metcalf, who is white, in the heart after he refused to leave the stadium tent of the victim’s team at a high school track meet.

The conviction resulted in protests outside the courthouse and prompted some black leaders to say the trial was unfair because the jury did not have any black panelists.

Some of the photos were tagged with “#FreeKarmeloAnthony,” “#AustinMetcalf,” and even “#F–kEm.”

The urination photos on X became a racial flashpoint, causing the X platform to blow up with reaction after they were featured on the popular conservative account Libs of Tik Tok which claimed the individuals in the photos were BLM activists.

The Black Lives Matter Lie Is Why Austin Metcalf Is Dead And Karmelo Anthony Is In Prison

jury rightfully convicted Karmelo Anthony for murder and sentenced him to 35 years in prison, but if there isn’t finally a complete rejection of the toxic “Black Lives Matter” movement, similar events are going to play out well into the future. There will be more violence and, if justice is served, more young black men in prison.

At the heart of the BLM ideology is the lazy, destructive assertion that “black and brown” people are oppressed by whites and therefore minorities, particularly blacks, are entitled to exhibit antisocial behavior with impunity, such as resisting arrest, stealing, or, as in the case of Anthony, bringing a knife to a high school track meet in the event he decides to murder someone under the guise of self defense.

The undisputed events of that case are as follows: In early 2025, Anthony, then 17, attended a Texas high school track meet, where he entered the tent of a school team that was not his own, apparently to shelter from rain. He was told to leave by at least one person, student Austin Metcalfe, also 17.

Anthony protested, and when Metcalfe advanced toward him, Anthony, with his hand in his bag, warned Metcalfe to back off. Metcalfe pushed Anthony, and that’s when Anthony plunged his knife into Metcalfe’s chest, striking his heart. Anthony then fled before being apprehended by police. At some point shortly thereafter, he admitted to the stabbing.

Anthony’s defenders have demonstrated their adherence to the Black Lives Matter ideology, either knowingly or not, by maintaining that Anthony was justified in responding to a shove at a grade-school athletic event by thrusting a concealed blade into the chest of a teen. They say it’s similar to the 2020 case of Kyle Rittenhouse, who while being chased on foot by a violent mob shot three people, killing two of them.

The comparison is laughable. Rittenhouse was on scene attempting to help citizens stop race rioters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and protect the private property of his associates. After a convict, for no discernible reason, chased Rittenhouse, ultimately cornering him in a car lot, Rittenhouse shot him and attempted to notify police. When the mob grew alert, it also gave chase, only for Rittenhouse to trip and fall to the ground, at which point he fired more shots at his aggressors.

Rittenhouse was prosecuted and a jury acquitted, because the overwhelming evidence was that he acted in self defense. In contrast, Anthony wasn’t defending himself. He was engaging in antisocial behavior— the deadly kind.

That justice was served makes it no less a tragedy for Anthony and his family. They and their defenders buy into a degenerate, corrosive ideology, as made clear by Anthony’s parents immediately after the trial suggesting the verdict was tainted by racism. (There were, in fact, non-whites on the jury.)

It’s a tragedy that in these BLM-fueled events, the public cannot count on juries to deliver the right verdict every time. If we could, Derek Chauvin, the officer convicted of murdering drug addict George Floyd, wouldn’t be in prison.

Had Metcalfe been murdered in 2020 or 2021, the outcome might have been very different. BLM is currently weak, but it’s not dead. No one is safe until it is.

Insanity: Ex-BLMer and Special Ed Teacher on Leave Over Abuse Allegations Just Elected President of Teachers Union

Homeschooling only looks more appealing as the education system continues to leave children with some of the worst excuses for teachers.

One of those is Ibijoke Idowu, who teaches special education at Rising Star Elementary in South Beacon Hill for Seattle Public Schools in Washington state.

In December 2025, Idowu was placed on leave following allegations that she abused an autistic child in her classroom. A complaint was filed with the district after the third-grader’s parents saw bruises the size of an adult’s fingertips in October and December.

The child’s parents also alleged his therapist witnessed Idowu throw a marker at him, hitting him in the face.

Since those incidents, The Seattle Times reported that according to his father, the child has been emotionally distressed, not sleeping well, and has been avoiding school.

The Teacher Accountability System summarized the allegations as follows:

“Alleged physical abuse of a third-grade student with autism, including leaving fingertip-sized bruises and throwing a marker at the student’s head, causing injury to face and glasses. Additional allegations include grabbing students by the arm, causing pain.”

The organization puts the case severity as high, and the Seattle Police have been notified with the investigation ongoing.

If those claims weren’t bad enough, Idowu is also a leftist, having previously worked as an organizer for Black Lives Matter.

Apparently, none of this has kept her from holding office, as she’s been elected president of the Seattle Teachers Union ,with the New York Post reporting that the election results were certified Friday.

The criteria to run for office includes paying union dues and being employed by the school system.

Given that Idowu is on leave but still employed, she was an eligible candidate, but who in their right mind would vote for this woman?

From a practical perspective, she is relatively inexperienced.

Her teaching career began in 2021, but she is also a special education teacher. Why would her fellow teachers — she now represents 6,000 SPS employees — put her in this job?

Per the New York Post, as the race last week was winding down, Idowu commented on how she’d like to be seen as a candidate.

“I am not afraid to be a line stepper when it’s necessary and when it protects others,” she said.

“You can’t be afraid, and the thing is, sometimes you even have to be the bad guy. You have to ruffle feathers. But that is a part of, like, leadership, and sometimes you have to advocate for this group, and it bothers this group. But you know what? That’s for this group to deal with. And you figure out why the advocacy for this group is bothering you, because that’s something you have to deal with. That’s not for me to deal with.”

Her dystopian collectivism in handling individuals on a group basis is a topic of discussion in itself, but the comments about being “a line stepper” or “the bad guy” lack self-awareness. She should have given pause in consideration of the accusations, but her rebuttal now would likely be that those statements won her the race.

Idowu’s story is another advertisement for homeschooling.

REPORT: Joe Biden ‘Had to Choose’ Harris Because of the BLM Riots, But He Actually Wanted THIS Governor

Joe Biden personally wanted Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as his 2020 running mate, but ultimately went with Kamala Harris because of the Black Lives Matter riots, according to a new profile published in The Atlantic.

The revelation comes from an in-depth piece on Whitmer as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, which details the behind-the-scenes dynamics of Biden’s vice-presidential vetting process.

Whitmer had risen to national prominence in 2020 for her aggressive and authoritarian response to the COVID-19 pandemic and her public clashes with President Donald Trump.

By summer 2020, Whitmer was actively being vetted for the VP spot.

Whitmer was the first finalist to meet with Biden in person in Delaware in August 2020.

Insiders said she got along well with Biden and was prepared to accept the position if offered.

A former senior staffer for Whitmer told The Atlantic, “The moment called for a black running mate,” explaining the intense pressure on Biden following the nationwide riots after the death of George Floyd.

Boston BLM Fraudster and “Bostonian of the Year” Must Return $220K in Funds Stolen Through Fraud

The Gateway Pundit reported that Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, a Boston-based Black Lives Matter activist who stole more than $100,000 in COVID funds and other financial resources to fund her lavish lifestyle, was sentenced to ZERO jail time.

Instead, she got six months of home confinement, followed by four years of probation.

Cannon-Grant is the founder and former Chief Executive Officer of a Boston-based nonprofit who was sentenced in January in federal court in Boston for using thousands of dollars in donations to Violence in Boston (VIB) to pay for personal expenses; defrauding the City of Boston out of COVID-19 relief funds and rental assistance money; defrauding the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office out of Community Reinvestment Grant funds; filing false tax returns; and failing to file tax returns for two years.

Cannon-Grant was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Angel Kelley to four years’ probation, with six months of home detention and 100 hours of community service.

She was also ordered to pay restitution of $106,003 as well as forfeiture in an amount to be decided at a later date.

Now, a federal judge has ordered her to pay back an additional $224,063.

BLM Activist Ordered to Pay Back $224,000 in COVID Relief Funds, Donations

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston was ordered on March 23 to pay back more than $224,000 in pandemic relief funds and donations to her nonprofit.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty last fall to multiple fraud charges and filing false tax returns. She was sentenced to serve six months of home confinement, 100 hours of community service, and four years of probation.

Federal District Court Judge Angel Kelly in Boston set the monetary judgment equal to the amount of money Cannon-Grant admitted taking from nonprofit Violence in Boston, which Cannon-Grant founded and where she formerly served as CEO.

In March 2023, a grand jury handed down a 27-count indictment against Cannon-Grant and her husband Clark Grant, charging them with fraud in connection to Violence in Boston, which they founded in 2017. Grant died in a motorcycle crash three weeks after the indictment was served while driving about 30 minutes east of Boston.

Federal prosecutors said Cannon-Grant paid herself about $25,100 in 2020 and more than $170,000 in 2021 from the nonprofit’s account, according to the charging documents.

About $181,037 of the total funds in question were donated to the organization and diverted for her personal use, $33,426 was obtained from pandemic unemployment assistance benefits, and $12,600 were from rental assistance funds, according to the judge.
