Since he’s crawled back into the limelight amid Trump’s crackdown on left-wing groups, here’s my 2019 profile of Andy Ngo.

He’s an anti-antifa propagandist who has a history of whitewashing violent fascist groups, particularly in Portland. jewishcurrents.org/the-making-o...

The Making of Andy Ngo

The right-wing provocateur’s grift exposing “the tyranny of the left” worked—until it didn’t.

a detail that never made it in that profile, funny how that happens 🙃 jewishcurrents.org/the-making-o...

"The entire time Occupy ICE happened [in Portland] he only showed up when Patriot Prayer or those groups showed up" notes Elia, the Portland-based multimedia journalist. During another march, Elia says he witnessed a conversation between Patriot
Prayer organizer Haley Adams and Ngo, where the latter implied Ngo was leaving the rally with the fascist group.

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.’

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Liberalism is merely a continual search for vulnerable groups to throw under the bus in a sad, failing attempt to prop up dying white privilege. “I’m as liberal as they come!” protests the man asking for dead trans people. Yup, that’s the problem, sir.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 20h

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?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.
