"It was another hurdle for Dr. Bray, a historian who published the 2017 book “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” and who had taught courses on anti-fascism and terrorism at Rutgers in New Jersey in relative obscurity until a few weeks ago." ½

THANK YOU

To the MILLIONS of citizens who marched today in record numbers

Showing MAGA Mike Johnson and his GOP flunkies who REALLY loves America

And making it clear to Donald Trump that the United States will NEVER succumb to a wannabe dictator

Our joy will defeat their hatred

Always
