The Rift in American Socialism

Just as few people can define Antifa, most have no real concept of socialism, democratic socialism or what is the Democratic Socialists of America Party. It's much different

So, can anyone explain how Antifa can be such a huge problem when they don't even have a website where you can join?

It's harder to herd Antifas together than it is to get Democrats to all come together. Trump picked the wrong bogeyman as an excuse for trying the Insurrection Act.

Why most polls overstate support for political violence

Misperceptions about the popularity of violence increase public support for it — but you can help change that.

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

Trump wants to invade Portland over something that happened in 2020. The only protests there now are 20 protestors mocking ICE agents by ICE-fishing which is putting a donut on a fishing pole and casting it in the direction of the Proud Boys, er I mean ICE agents.
