Anti-Fascism Scholar Flees U.S. Amid Trump's "Antifa" Fearmongering Democracy Now!

This is really scary to me!



We speak with Rutgers University professor Mark Bray, who fled from the U.S. to Spain with his family after receiving death threats over his scholarship. He is the author of the 2017 book "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook," which explores the history and tactics of anti-fascist movements in Europe, the United States and beyond. Turning Point USA, the conservative campus group founded by Charlie Kirk, had called for Bray's firing and branded him "Dr. Antifa." This comes as the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its war on dissent following Kirk's assassination, using his death as pretext to launch an assault on activists, organizations and speech it disagrees with.
