I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

The termination of Tamar Shirinian is an outrage. A clear violation of free speech & penalization of an academic for comments made in an individual capacity on their own time. Please consider speaking out and asking the UT admin to reinstate Dr. Shirinian. www.utdailybeacon.com/campus_news/...

All of these apply to MAGA, and *especially* to tech fascists, so...

from Ken Klippenstein: In other words, they’re targeting pre-crime, to reference Minority Report.

The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indica” (indicators) of violence:

anti-Americanism,

anti-capitalism,

anti-Christianity,

support for the overthrow of the United States Government,

extremism on migration,

extremism on race,

extremism on gender

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened:

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.

But I think the question is why the admin would even propose this given that UCLA would be putting in double what would ultimately be unfrozen. The logic makes so sense.

Most professors can’t even get students to hand in their assignments on time but, yeah, sure, we’re the architects and generals of an all out joint communist-jihadist assault on the good, god fearing people of this country 🫠

It’s so cool how the K*rk shooter is likely a Groyper who dropped out and got radicalized online and now people think we shouldn’t get to have colleges anymore.

Nick Fuentes, Enrique Tarrio, Ryan Sanchez, etc… Who is doing in depth coverage on Latinos/Hispanics not only involved with but in some cases leading white nationalist and neo-nazi groups? I know the books Defectors and Racial Innocence cover this but is there more out there?

The fact that both the WSJ and the Guardian have retracted their trans and leftist stories related to the shooter and now a day later a new one is being formed about a possible "trans roommate or lover" shows how desperate they are to pin this on someone who is LGBTQ+
