Let's be clear: Trump's attacks on "antifa" are an attack on America. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

Everything is terrorism in Trump’s America

But don’t call that fascism. That would be bad.

It looks like she was finally suspended for her appearance on the Kevin J Johnston show, which I brought attention to last year.

Despite all of the threats and nasty messages I have received, I’ve actually received more notes of support and solidarity.

So I just wanted to take a moment amidst a hectic time to thank everyone who has reached out.

I don’t know when I will have the time to reply to everyone, but I intend to.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.
