Doughnut shop hit with a molotov cocktail after drag-queen art show
The incidents at the doughnut shop in Tulsa’s Brookside neighborhood mirror the string of protests and attacks that have followed drag and LGBTQ events across the nation this year. From California to New York, far-right groups and individuals have increasingly targeted events such as Drag Story Hour, often justifying their actions by casting the normalization of discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity as the “grooming” of children, The Post previously reported.

Investigators are zeroing in on two possible motives centered around extremist behavior in NC power stations attacks, sources say
One thread involves the writings by extremists on online forums encouraging attacks on critical infrastructure. The second thread looks at a series of recent disruptions of LGBTQ+ events across the nation by domestic extremists.

“While we don’t know the precise motivation behind this attack, extremists in Moore County had been protesting a drag event to be held in the community at the exact time that power stations were damaged by gunfire,” said a statement by Equality NC.
Moore County resident Emily Grace Rainey, an outspoken opponent of the drag show, posted an invitation on her Facebook page to the protest at the theater. After the substation outage, Rainey posted on Facebook that, “The power is out in Moore County and I know why.”
Rainey is a former U.S. Army psychological operations officer and conservative activist, Newsweek reported.

She resigned from the Army while under investigation for leading a group of Moore County residents to a rally in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, which led to an attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Rainey was charged with injury to personal property after posting a video that showed her removing yellow tape at a playground that was closed in Southern Pines, WRAL reported.

Here is how Texans were given the news:

@tedcruz
This confirms our worst fear: the explosion at Rainbow Bridge was a terrorist attack.

Both attackers are dead, and one law enforcement officer is injured.

I am praying that officer makes a full recovery and is able to spend Thanksgiving surrounded by family and loved ones.

Thank you to our law enforcement officers who are remaining vigilant and working to protect Americans traveling for Thanksgiving.
