I know this case is all over - & it should be - but Turning Point USA has waged a harassment campaign against faculty for more than a decade. I know of at least a half dozen other faculty, personally, who have received death threats and several of those who felt so unsafe they too left their homes
Are we great yet?

Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor and expert on anti-fascist groups, is fleeing to Spain with his family due to death threats that stem from a campaign by Turning Point USA and other conservative groups to get him fired, falsely labeling him as an antifa member.

Trump promised “largest deportation operation in American history” - further militarizing border, targeting refugees & asylum seekers, mass raids in undocumented communities, targeting pro-Pal organizers esp students on visas.

Borders are linchpin for fascism.

Pierre Poilievre has bashed asylum seekers who crossed at Roxham Road and has pledged to “track down” and deport many of them.

Now it turns out his own relative did exactly that—and then got help from Anaida Poilievre and a MP’s office to stay in Canada.
