'Proud to Say That the People out Here are Antifa': No Kings Organizer Brags to MSNBC

Bethany laughed, said that is silly, but that yes, according to the definition of it, the protestors were certainly Antifa. Obviously, if you look at the definition of it, Antifa, anti-fascist I've spoke to a couple of veterans who said that's literally what they fought against. They are anti-fascist. So I think I should be proud to say that the people out here are Antifa, Bethany said. We don't agree with the fascist government.

Ali Velshi Tells Viewers To Turn Off TVs and Join No Kings

The First Amendment of the Constitution specifically protects the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for the redress of grievances. Remember that if you choose to go out today. That is your constitutionally protected right.

The Right Is Lying About Left-Wing Violence

Portlanders deploying inflatable animal costumes, a brass band, mass ukulele renditions of "This Land Is Your Land," naked bike rides, and other tactics in their ICE protests are undermining the Trump administration's lurid claims that Portland, Oregon, is a "war-torn" city under siege by a violent left. It's hard to portray someone dancing in an inflatable frog or chicken costume as a terrorist.

In italics below the content of a post, you might see a warning label seemingly added after the fact that says: "This user is suspected to be a part of a terrorist organization called Antifa. Please report any suspicious behavior." Also: Is Meta secretly scanning your phone's camera roll?

'We're All Jimmy Kimmel' Could Hit A Little Closer To Home Than You Think - Above the Law

On Monday, the White House announced an executive order that designates "antifa" (short for anti-fascist) as a domestic terrorist organization. There's the obvious: anti-fascism isn't an organization - there's no chain of command or locus of operation that an organization would require to function. It is merely an idea - if you're against a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual, you're an anti-fascist.
