Flipboard<p>Last of all, a bit of lightness in another heavy week: Our <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.social/@CultureDesk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>CultureDesk</span></a></span> shared this story about how the Proud Boys have had to give up their trademark to a Black church they vandalized. The Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. can also block the far-right group from selling licensed goods, like T-shirts or hats, without the church's approval. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@AssociatedPress" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>AssociatedPress</span></a></span> has the full story. </p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/proud-boys-trademark-church-jan-6-enrique-tarrio-de927b297eaf45df048771a5d52199eb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/proud-boys-</span><span class="invisible">trademark-church-jan-6-enrique-tarrio-de927b297eaf45df048771a5d52199eb</span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ProudBoys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProudBoys</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastodon</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/blackmastodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>blackmastodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newstodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewstodonFriday</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a></p>

Weltschmerz à Gogo<p>Amazing. A judge has ruled that the Proud Boys can no longer use their name or sell PB-branded merch without the express approval of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in DC, which members vandalized during one of the rounds of pro-Trump violence in the city in December 2020. The ruling is meant to offset a $2.8 million default judgment against them.</p><p>Enrique Tarrio got out of jail just in time to see his main grift vanish.

Infrogmation<p>Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. </p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonian.com/2025/02/04/a-historic-dc-black-church-now-owns-the-proud-boys-name/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonian.com/2025/02/04/a</span><span class="invisible">-historic-dc-black-church-now-owns-the-proud-boys-name/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ProudBoys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProudBoys</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Racism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/FAFO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FAFO</span></a></p>
