“Like King, many ostensibly ‘nonviolent’ civil rights activists embraced their constitutional right to self-protection—yet this crucial dimension of the Afro-American freedom struggle has been long ignored by history.”

That mugshot is a decade old.

Here are current pics of Harold Alston Smith, who the right-wingers call "Tommy 2" - comparing him to the other MAGA bully down there, Tommy Allen, who has been arrested multiple times himself.

Deploying gas in a residential neighborhood is some wild shit.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

This is just insane political theater. The FBI knows that there is no antifa network. And let’s be clear- neither of these media personalities are journalists.

The FBI showed up to my house to discuss my TV show exposing Antifa's network. If you are a member of Antifa or providing material or financial support for Antifa, I might be a little concerned because the FBI is DEADASS ...

The FBI has launched a FULL investigation into Antifa, and spent the weekend calling journalists who've been victims of Antifa violence I received a call from the FBI Sunday morning, and confirmed others did as well.
The Trump admin WILL take down this terrorist network

Back at Broadview where conservative stream Ben Bergquam and Proud Boy Terry Newsome stopped by to harass protesters. ISP separated them and made them come across the street by press.

Bergquam was embedded with ICE last month — my story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

MAGA influencer Ben Bergquam of Real America's Voice's "Law & Border" has been in Portland for several days, often embedding w ICE when he isn't goading protestors.

During yesterday's over-the-top fed assault, Ben smiled into his camera & gloated, "To hell w the traitors & the terrorists."

Ben Bergquam films himself with ICE officers and tear gas in the background, saying "Happening now at the Portland ICE facility! Multiple arrests, tear gas and the fight to save our country! God Bless ICE! God Bless America!"

Real America's Voice posts a video interview of PNW ICE field office director by Bergquam on the roof of the Portland facility.

Ben Bergquam was one of the wave of influencers who showed to the PDX ICE protests, who goaded protestors & then joined Nick Sortor to embed w DHS on the roof of the facility.

He is very much a racist pal of Proud Boys. Link to that thread in the next post ...

Ben Bergquam tweets a selfie of himself smiling while federal agents gas protestors in the background.
