Gwen Snyder, a Philadelphia-based writer who researches the alt-right, posted a twitter thread a few days ago about being threatened by “Proud Boys”.  She states they have come by her house, spoken to a neighbor, made threats, have doxxed her address and that of several family members and are also making harassing phone calls to her family.

Police are investigating. Meanwhile, she’s had to leave her home for safety. This kind of harassment is text-book fascist behavior. I hope the Philly police take this seriously. I also hope she’s contacted the FBI, since the “Proud Boys” are an interstate org and allegedly some of the harasses are from outside PA. The Proud Boys are being more open about being a terroristic fascist organization, and they need to be treated as such.
