This is what we’re dealing with in our town. I know exactly where this stairwell is. This is Charlie Kirk’s legacy.
Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.”

In my lifetime, I saw the towers go up as a boy driving into Manhattan with my father, and I saw them come down from my office window. My life changed profoundly after September 11, 2001. I am sad, both for the time that has passed and for today.

ICE, DC Police, Park Police, DHS, and HSI brutally arrested a man who refused to provide identification after being stopped for eating in public. Goons attempted to stop community members from recording his injuries during the incident.

This is very close to home. Handy J, the place where ICE did its deed, is the car wash I frequent. I was there last week. The people who work there are about as far from the "violent, criminal" type as one can get. They just clean cars.
