Antifascism is real.
Antifa groups are real.
Trump’s ‘war zone’ in Portland is fake.

Trump’s ‘war zone’ in Portland is fake.
Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea — instead of acting to defend the activists, researchers, and organizers facing persecution.

New, from me:
The Times published a piece accusing a man born in Africa as claiming to be African-American in a failed college admission.
