He has a Nazi tattoo. (That's a bit of an overstatement, but let's run with that.) You've heard him. Do you think he's a Nazi?

The story of the slow, inexorable decline of Trump's support in the last thirteen months is the story of millions of Americans, one person at a time, witnessing the obscenities being perpetrated by this administration and being roused to opposition.
I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

This incident at an anti-ICE student walkout in Emunclaw WA was provoked by MAGA vigilante Danny Rebel, a grown-ass man who taunted teenagers before getting punched.
Embarrassing that Emunclaw PD says it was unprovoked. Danny has a history of aggressively trying to agitate the left for content.
