We never incited violence, we just called this guy a member of antifa who funded terrorism and told our followers to pay him a visit ha ha and then a totally unrelated group of people threatened to murder him in front of his students ha ha

"The petition to disband our Turning Point chapter is blatantly defamatory," Ava Kwan, outreach coordinator for the Turning Point USA chapter at Rutgers, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"The accusations of 'inciting violence' and 'making threats' are complete lies," Kwan said. "The same people claiming we're suppressing their free speech are actively trying to silence us for speaking the truth. It's not just ironic, it's hypocritical and absurd."

tpusa_rutgers Do you want to become a socialist? If so, make sure to pay this professor a visit!!!! All jokes aside help us report this professor who has ties to Antifa which now is designated as a domestic terrorist organization. DO YOUR PART AND HELP MAKE RUTGERS A PLACE FOR ALL STUDENTS TO LEARN WITHOUT BECOMING A RADICAL SOCIALIST

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

Rutgers TPUSA officers slam petition to shut down chapter, ‘Blatantly defamatory’

Alexander Di Filippo accuses Turning Point USA of inciting violence against Antifa handbook author Mark Bray.

And I thought I had it bad with my X-Files scribes being all “and then blood started bubbling out of the ground in Berkshire… but anyway, the king held his Easter court in Winchester.”

GOP two weeks ago: Calling us fascists is terrorism and a hate crime.

GOP today: We are going to hunt down all anti-fascists and the Nazis were the good guys in the Weimar Republic.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 1d

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Hey @cnn.com, @nbcnews.com, @nytimes.com… come to Portland.

Film us and put the footage next to Trump whenever he talks like this.

I’m tired of you guys letting him lie.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Regarding the alleged arrest of “the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa.”

1) it’s not illegal to date someone.

2) antifa is a leaderless and loosely organized ideology, not a group

3) if antifa did have a founder, I’m pretty sure it would be a 150 year old Italian person.

They’re taking victory laps claiming they arrested “the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa.”

That’s like claiming they’ve arrested the husband of one of the founders of quiet quitting.

And, of course, they haven’t released any names or photos of this definitely real person.

lest anyone think the girlfriend line was a hilarious joke I concocted...

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

If you want to make a Sam Adams Vibe at home, here’s the recipe:

1 Part: Beer
1 Part: Fuck You, Make Me

Red hats are apparently the new redcoats.

And Portland, despite being small and thoroughly unimportant on a national scale, is apparently the new Boston.

But hey, at least we’ve all got that Sam Adams vibe.

I think that’s ultimately where we are headed.

Zee disagrees, but I’m guessing that over the next six or so years we are going to devolve into a sort of East and West Roman Empire situation.

There’s just no coming back from this.

Draw on your own experience:

Is there any situation you've ever been part of, with you or anyone else in the hot seat, in which a person who does NOT have something to hide, reacts the way Bondi does?

I've been on trial juries that concluded "we can't trust that witness," after evasions like this

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

For Heritage and Thiel? Sure.

But Trump is different. Trump just cares about what’s good for Trump. And the only thing he (personally) gets from declaring war on a guy in a frog suit is that it might distract the red hats from Epstein. Maybe.

Oh, I think that's what Epstein's handlers care about.

But his handlers aren't sitting in the oval office.

The world's most self obsessed man is.

They're clearly trying to provoke an escalation, and I wouldn't put it past them to create one if it doesn't happen.

They've been very open about wanting to occupy cities and purge them of democrats aka "the enemy within."

I don't think it'll work long term, but it's definitely their plan.

The British History Podcast @thebhp.bsky.social · 2d

This has nothing to do with safety, and very little to do with Portland.

This all about an old man trying to distract his base with some greatest hits in order to avoid the Epstein files.

This is ALL about the Epstein files.
