Our door knocking on a blustery fall day. Had a long conversation about how to slow down traffic in my district—exactly the kind of thing we should be doing!

“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.’

Walking my kid home from school yesterday, I was glad to see that many of our local small businesses have No Kings posters up in their windows, saying, "We Stand With Immigrant Families."

Portland police warning someone (maybe someone who works for ICE) if they drive into the crowd of protestors they will be arrested.

Person says "I'll take care of it."

What does that mean? They think they abide by a lawlessness higher than the law?

Kudos to this cop for protecting protestors. 🔥

Nice to see Sen. Gallego and Kelly going to bat for Adelita Grijalva, as they and everyone else should be.
Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

Most people in the US do not understand the severity of the situation we are in. This is not just a rogue president where we can ride it out and vote for someone else in a few years. This is a well planned takeover that has been shaped for decades. Every action creates opportunity for the next.

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.

This Rutgers professor and his wife, also a Rutgers prof, have been forced out of their home and classrooms by TPUSA. The story deserves greater attention.

This really sucks. Mark is awesome and he will be a huge loss for Rutgers and America.

This is why most antifascists stay anonymous. The death threats and danger are very real.

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.

What the actual fuck??? This is a really scary situation. This family is already facing death threats which is why they are leaving.

Because Dr. Bray is a scholar of anti-fascism.

Still in Broadview. At this point it's mostly press waiting around to see if they can spot any National Guard potentially rolling in tonight. Plenty of state troopers still on site.
