Nice to see that Trump is admitting to being onboard with Project 2025. Whatever happened to “agenda 47” or whatever distraction they were using during the election?

You can make the point that Antifa doesn’t have an actual structure, much less an organization. It’s an idea that people can rally behind: Anti-Fascism, or being against fascism. You could also call this anti-nazi ideology.

I’ll admit, it’s easy to get lost in rabbit holes and bogged down in PR driven narratives, and it can feel like you no longer know what is morally right. Thankfully, the Russia Gov continues to provide clear indicators of where they are on the morality scale - www.politico.eu/article/russ...
