Police Raid MAGA 'King of Toxic Masculinity' in Human-Trafficking Investigation

Romanian police raided the home of prominent pro-Trump online personality Andrew Tate this month as part of a human-trafficking investigation, bringing new attention to Tate’s ties to leading figures in the American MAGA movement.

Before the April 11 raid, Tate was best known as a kickboxer and vocal Trump supporter in the online far right. On social media, Tate portrayed himself as a wealthy cigar-smoking playboy, prompting one admirer to dub him the “king of toxic masculinity.”

But Tate’s treatment of women had an ugly side. In 2016, he was booted off the British version of Big Brother over a video of him hitting a woman with a belt. This March, Britain’s Daily Mirror tabloid profiled him and his brother Tristan Tate and their Romania-based business which used webcam models to trick men into sending the brothers tens of thousands of dollars. In one video on his YouTube channel, Andrew Tate said “40 percent” of the reason he moved to Romania was because Romanian police were less likely to pursue sexual assault allegations.

Tate’s unsavory activities didn’t stop him from building links with the stars of the Trumpian right. In 2019, Tate palled around Washington, D.C. with prominent online Trump activists and conspiracy theorists. He shared a meal with far-right cable news commentator Jack Posobiec and Infowars host Paul Joseph Watkins, and appeared multiple times on Infowars shows.

Fresno Starbucks worker pushes for union

A sword attack, assaults by customers, understaffing, and other issues prompted a Fresno Starbucks worker to warn the coffee chain’s president Friday that workers planned to unionize, joining a nationwide movement.

“We have endured much in our attempts to create the Third Place,” Benjamin Takemoto, of the Marks and Herndon store, wrote in the open letter to Starbucks’ President Howard Schultz, referring to the coffee company’s effort to be known as the social spot between work and home.

he sword attack took place in November when two men began arguing in the parking lot, and one retrieved the sword from his car and attacked the second, cutting his arm. The suspect was arrested.
