How a Beloved Website Became MAGA’s Latest Villain After Charlie Kirk’s Death Over the past week, conservative media have turned up their fury toward the free encyclopedia to a degree rarely seen in its 24-year history.

While I appreciate this, I think giving people concrete things to do is way more helpful. We know it's bad. What should we DO besides "not be quiet in this moment," or, "What does not being quiet look like?"

Trump says Antifa is a β€œMAJOR TERRORIST” organization. What does that mean? β€” Instrumental Communications The government is using the fear and confusion surrounding a tragedy β€” in this case the killing of Charlie Kirk β€” to consolidate power. Let’s look at how they’re doing it this time β€”through the Depar...

OFFICIALLY, "terrorist" orgs must be β€œforeign” to fit under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

UNOFFICIALLY, Trump can say β€œAntifa” equals β€œTerrorist” and his followers can take whatever hint from that they want.

Cue: Horst Wessel.
