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.

Just need to say that I worked on State Department Middle East projects as a contractor under all three of these secretaries of state, and my take is that of the tree Hillary is the most deft liar, Pompeo is the most shameless liar, and Blinken's lies are so dull they inspire somnolence.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

Yeah, this is great. Let's just continue to uncritically reify the decades of failures of the Democratic Party, the precise failures that brought us to where we are presently. FFS.

Tells me more about Hillary Clinton than it does anything else. Taking this booking is just fucking incredible.

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump.

Your cowardice is showing — weak men seek revenge on powerful women who hold them to account.

But NY’rs don’t play. Our AG has been a fierce warrior for our rights, time & again. You better believe we’ll be there for hers.

Perry now explaining her order, starting with background on the protests at the Broadview ICE facility, which is the epicenter of much of the contested protest activity in this case.

Perry says the arrival of Border Patrol agents there "caused a corresponding increase in protests."

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“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.’

Jonathan Choe to Trump: "Another group right now that is behind antifa and working with antifa very closely based on the research that we have right now that we're gonna give to you and your team are the Democratic Socialists of America."

This is why "defund the police" was so important.

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...

And the hard won federal dissent decree against the Chicago police is now meaningless, of course, under the Trump admin

Except that civilian control is impossible to enforce... see Chicago COPA.

While everything that falls under his purview is necessarily also Trump's fault, the direct impact from the destruction of USAid makes Elon Musk one of the worst mass murderers of the post-WWII worldstate and that is not a thing I will ever let go of no matter how hard captured media tries to do so.

I will say that "night patrols" in DC where we film at night when ICE operates on desolate streets, we film, and we advise those being kidnapped of their rights, has made them back off more than once. The National Guard needs to be asked why the fuck they aren't in Texas at every occasion.

The Constitutional crisis you've been waiting for is here.

The right moment to speak up—that moment of clarity you've been waiting for—that's here too.

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?

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.
