Ari Melber: Over the past three decades, far-right extremists led 220 attacks, compared to far-left extremists leading 42 attacks. That's roughly five times [more]
If you look at the body count... far-right extremist violence led ~520 deaths, the left-wing attacks resulted in the death of about 78.

The Rosegarden CLUB? He turned the People's House into a private CLUB?
He literally privatized a public good. He stole our house.
Do you understand? This is no different than if he seized the Grand Canyon & put it behind a velvet rope, for members only.
He's a fucking thief & a vandal to boot.

Never give Trump the benefit of the doubt.
For a lifetime, he’s gotten away with depraved and criminal behavior because decent people gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”.
This is fascism.

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.
After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

This isn’t just about Harvard. It’s about a wannabe dictator coercing the world’s top university to bend to his rule.
And if Harvard loses this fight, you can bet Trump will go after your college too.
That’s not just wrong, it’s fascist and un-American.
