Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

The judge found “no credible evidence that there is a danger of rebellion in the state of Illinois.” The courts keep checking this president’s unconstitutional actions which are designed to fractionalize rather than protect and strengthen the nation. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

I know this case is all over - & it should be - but Turning Point USA has waged a harassment campaign against faculty for more than a decade. I know of at least a half dozen other faculty, personally, who have received death threats and several of those who felt so unsafe they too left their homes

Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor and expert on anti-fascist groups, is fleeing to Spain with his family due to death threats that stem from a campaign by Turning Point USA and other conservative groups to get him fired, falsely labeling him as an antifa member.

The ruling class has correctly assessed public schools as a threat to them. Two reasons:
1. An educated working class is their worst nightmare
2. Public schools are one of the last places where working-class families mix across racial and ethnic lines
