The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

Multiple MNPD are on-scene @ a local immigration office in South Nashville with multiple squad cars. Current info is an officer involved shooting but more details are coming.

Given the current political situation & location of this event, this is highly suspicious.

NC2 on scene.

The Pentagon investigated nearly 300 Defense Dept. employees, including service members, civilian workers and contractors, for comments appearing online after last month’s shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.

Hegseth’s sprawling hunt for Charlie Kirk critics spans nearly 300 investigations

The inquiry, resulting in a smattering of disciplinary action so far, follows an extraordinary directive aimed at silencing criticism of the slain activist and Trump supporter.

Usually there'd be an alert about 'PATRIOT FRONT' appearing in a U.S. city some time around Columbus Day / weekend.

We're under Fascism rn so running around in Uhauls in cosplay & mask could backfire drastically both for Fascists & opposing them as any dissent is seen as terrorism under Trump.

Last month Rob attempted to organize a rally for Charlie Kirk but was trolled so hard on social-media it obliterated the numbers.

* NASHVILLE / COOKEVILLE *
Robert Stein of Cookeville , TN has proven to be a publi nuisance & has been on Anti-Fascists in Nashville radar for a while now.

This MAGA tough guy stayed in his truck the entire time trying to heckle "No Kings" demonstrators rather than have a chat.

A three day fest in Elgin Illinois featuring numerous open Neo-Nazi/ Supremacist bands has had multiple bands cancel after travel visa denials.

Anytime Fascists abroad try to travel to U.S. soil they often times have already been X'd off from entering countries in Europe as Nazism is illegal.
