Antifa is a loose network of militant activists rather than a single, centralized organization. The name comes from “anti-fascist,” but its adherents often appear to define fascism as anything they oppose. Many are anarchists, standing against all forms of government, while also claiming to oppose white supremacy, nationalism, authoritarianism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and capitalism.

They frequently use images of World War II U.S. soldiers to suggest they are carrying on that legacy, implying that Americans who don’t support their cause are betraying the memory of American heroes. Yet there is no fascist party in America today. Fascist candidates last appeared on ballots in the 1930s, and there are no major political figures or movements advocating for a totalitarian state or the abolition of democratic institutions. There does not even appear to be evidence of small fringe groups openly calling themselves fascist.

In practice, what Antifa targets are conservatives, Republicans, Christians, and law enforcement, with particular focus on federal immigration enforcement. Documented evidence shows Antifa groups consistently disrupting Republican events, harassing conservative activists, opposing Christian organizations, and attacking police and federal agents—not fascist organizations. When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused AOC of supporting Antifa, she pointed specifically to their opposition to ICE and their disruptive actions at Republican gatherings.

The “anti-fascist” label functions as political branding, giving Antifa the appearance of heroic resistance while masking the fact that their true targets are mainstream American political opponents. This mislabeling makes their actions appear more legitimate than if they were accurately described as opposition to Republicans, Christians, and conservatives.

Antifa generally operates in small, local groups across the U.S. and a handful of other countries, with no central leadership. Some, like Rose City Antifa in Portland, are more visible, while others remain underground. Their activities range from researching and exposing far-right individuals to doxxing and pressuring employers to fire them. Some members justify physical confrontation, including “punching Nazis.” They are also known for wearing all-black clothing and masks during protests, where they intimidate conservatives and Christians, damage property, disrupt traffic, block public access, and confront law enforcement. These clashes have sometimes turned deadly, as in a 2020 Portland case where an Antifa-aligned individual was linked to a fatal shooting.

On December 6, 2021, prosecutors charged seven self-identified anti-fascists in connection with assaults at the January 2021 “Patriot March” in Pacific Beach. According to the complaint, the group organized in San Diego and Los Angeles about a week before the event and allegedly used pepper spray, flagpoles, sticks, and other objects to attack pro-Trump demonstrators.

Such incidents were part of a broader pattern of antifa-aligned violence and disorder between 2016 and 2021. Protests in Portland, Seattle, and Berkeley were marked by assaults on political opponents and law enforcement, the use of weapons such as bike locks, clubs, and projectiles, and repeated cases of unlawful assembly, obstruction of traffic, and refusal to disperse. Property destruction was widespread, targeting storefronts, government buildings, vehicles, monuments, and public spaces.

Several high-profile cases highlighted these trends. In 2017, Eric Clanton was convicted for the Berkeley bike lock assault. Portland saw repeated arrests during protests between 2016 and 2021, while Washington D.C. experienced significant property damage during the 2017 inauguration demonstrations.

On September 22, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. The order describes Antifa as “Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.  It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals. “

The executive order accuses Antifa of recruiting and radicalizing young Americans, concealing its funding, and coordinating with other groups to promote political violence and suppress lawful speech. The designation directs federal agencies to use all available authority to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle Antifa’s operations, including prosecuting those who support or fund its activities.

The Open Society Foundation has publicly stated, “George Soros does not fund Antifa. But he is opposed to fascism. We do fund groups working for racial justice in the United States.” Despite this claim, reports from the Capital Research Center allege that Soros’s foundation has poured more than $80 million into organizations tied to extremism and “direct actions” the FBI classifies as domestic terrorism.

Several groups and networks provide documented legal and financial support to Antifa-related activities. The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund, for example, has donated over $250,000 to more than 750 anti-fascists and anti-racists in 26 countries since 2015, with author Mark Bray pledging half the proceeds of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook to the fund. The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) and its foundation reported combined revenues of over $3 million in 2018, supported in part by grants such as $2.7 million from Greater Horizons, $110,000 from the Warsh Mott Legacy foundation, and matching grants from the CS Fund for the NLG’s Mass Defense Program.

Legal defense and bail networks have also played a key role. The National Bail Fund Network, which coordinates 80 local bail funds across the U.S., is run through the Soros-funded Tides Center’s Community Justice Exchange. The Alliance for Global Justice, which has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros’s nonprofit, financially supports bail funds like the Louisville Community Bail Fund.

Other bail organizations frequently bailing out Antifa activists include the Action Bail Fund NYC, Minnesota Freedom Fund, Chicago Community Bond Fund, Brooklyn Community Bail Fund, Bronx Freedom Fund, Atlanta Solidarity Fund, the NLG, and the Center for Constitutional Rights. Then-Senator Kamala Harris even encouraged donations during the 2020 riots, tweeting: “If you’re able to, chip in now to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.”

Politically, some Democrats have defended or been accused of sympathizing with Antifa-aligned causes. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of supporting “terrorists and Antifa” due to her opposition to ICE and Republican events. Other members of “The Squad”, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley, have faced similar criticism, with Democratic leadership figures like Rep. Gregory Meeks and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defending them against Republican attacks.

With the designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization, those funding it, and possibly even politicians providing cover, could find themselves in trouble with the Department of Justice.

The morbidly obese high school offensive lineman who shattered his much smaller opponent’s spine in a shocking gridiron assault last week has reportedly received a stiff punishment for his actions.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a junior varsity game in Berrien County between the Kalamazoo Central Maroon Giants and the Lakeshore Lancers on Thursday was marred when a Maroon Giants player lost his temper during a play in the third quarter and apparently decided to try to end an opponent’s career.

As the footage below shows, a 15-year-old defender for the Lancers gets tangled up with a Kalamazoo Central offensive lineman. Then, the Maroon Giants lineman leaps on the defender with his full body weight.

One can only imagine the pain the Lakeshore player felt when it happened.

During a junior varsity football game in Berrien County, Michigan, on September 19, 2025, Lakeshore High School player Colton Mims sustained severe spine fractures after an opponent jumped on him.

Local resident Courtney Mims came forward and told WSBT that her son Colton was the victim of this vicious gridiron assault.

Colton was taken to the hospital, where doctors found that his spine was broken in two places. Courtney Mims said that while Colton is expected to recover fully, he may not be able to play football ever again.

The Michigan High School Athletics Association (MHSSA) told Fox News on Monday that Kalamazoo Central took “strong and decisive action” against the thug who assaulted his helpless opponent.

The organization said that due to student privacy laws, it could not disclose the specific actions but would leave the school to fill in the details.

“Our staff has been speaking with both schools since Friday. Kalamazoo Central has taken this matter very seriously, and they have taken strong and decisive action,” MHSAA said. “Due to student privacy laws, we cannot disclose the specific accountability actions, but they have exceeded what MHSAA regulations would otherwise require in cases of dangerous and unsportsmanlike behavior.”

Kalamazoo Public Schools provided the following statement to Fox News later Monday.

An incident that occurred during Kalamazoo Central High School’s Junior Varsity football game on Sept. 19 was the action of an individual student who displayed an egregious act against a player on the opposing team.

This type of behavior is unacceptable and does not reflect the values of sportsmanship, respect, and integrity that Kalamazoo Public Schools expects from student-athletes, coaches and the entire school community.

President Trump went off on the United Nations General Assembly during a major address in New York City on Tuesday, marking his return to the United Nations as President. 

The 45th and 47th President used the close to one-hour-long speech to lambast his counterparts for their weakness and ineffectiveness on issues like immigration, energy, and the multiple wars across the world that he has stepped in to end.

Trump touted the “Golden Age” he has brought to America and essentially told the globalist leaders to follow his example and get it together.

As Mel Gibson famously said just days after Trump took office, “It’s like Daddy arrived, and he’s taking his belt off.”

For over ten straight minutes, Trump bashed the European leaders for facilitating illegal immigration into the United States and their own countries.

“In 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States. Think of that. The UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out,” Trump said, condemning the leaders’ assistance to invaders of our country. He then tore into Joe Biden for allowing 25+ million illegals to be sent into our country.

“Now we have it stopped, totally stopped. In fact, they’re not even coming anymore because they know they can’t get through. But what took place is totally unacceptable.”

“Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe, and nobody is doing anything to change it, to get them out. It’s not sustainable, and because they choose to be politically correct, they’re doing just absolutely nothing about it,” Trump added, calling out the “terrible” Mayor of London for ushering in the mass invasion of Islamists and the potential for Sharia Law. He further declared, “It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders.”

WATCH:

Trump: Not only is the UN not solving the problems, it should— too often, it’s actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It’s uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined. The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders. In 2024 the UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States. Think of that. The UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out. The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation and debit cards to illegal aliens— Can you believe that?— on the way to infiltrate our southern border. Millions of people came through that southern border, just a year ago, millions and millions of people were pouring in. 25 million altogether over the four years of the incompetent Biden administration. And now we have it stopped, totally stopped. In fact, they’re not even coming anymore because they know they can’t get through. But what took place is totally unacceptable.

The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them, and not finance them. In the United States, we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, cause unmitigated crime and deplete our social safety net. We have reasserted that America belongs to the American people, and I encourage all countries to take their own stand in defense of their citizens as well. You have to do that because I see it. I’m not mentioning names. I see it, and I can call every single one of them out. You’re destroying your countries. They’re being destroyed. Europe is in serious trouble…

If something is not done immediately, they cannot— this cannot be sustained. What makes the world so beautiful is that each country is unique, but to stay this way, every sovereign nation must have the right to control their own borders. You have the right to control your borders, as we do now, and to limit the sheer numbers of migrants entering their countries and paid for by the people of that nation that were there and that built that particular nation at the time. They put their blood, sweat, tears, money into that country, and now they’re being ruined. Proud nations must be allowed to protect their communities and prevent their societies from being overwhelmed by people they have never seen before, with different customs, religions, with different everything. Where migrants have violated laws, lodge false asylum claims, or claimed refugee status for illegitimate reasons, they should, in many cases, be immediately sent home. And while we will always have a big heart for places and people that are struggling and truly compassionate answers will be given, we have to solve the problem, and we have to solve it in their countries, not create new problems in our countries. And we are very helpful to a lot of countries that are just not able to send their people anymore.

It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders. You have to end it now. See, I can tell you, I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell. In America, we’ve taken bold action to swiftly shut down uncontrolled migration. Once we started detaining and deporting everyone who crossed the border and removing illegal aliens from the United States, they simply stopped coming. They’re not coming anymore. We’re getting a lot of credit, but they’re not coming anymore. This was a humanitarian act for all involved, because on the trips up, thousands of people a week were dying. Women were being raped. Nobody has ever seen anything like it, raped, horribly beaten, raped on the trip up, the journey up. It was a long it was a long walk. It was a long, arduous journey, indeed. And it was also a historic victory against human trafficking throughout the region. What we did was a victory, and we saved so many lives of people that wouldn’t make the journey. That journey was loaded up with death, loaded up with death, dead bodies all along, all along the roads of jungles to get up. They go through jungles. They go through areas so hot you couldn’t breathe. They were dying of suffocation, areas so hot that you couldn’t breathe, dead bodies all over.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem exploded in outrage over a cryptic and “menacing” tweet issued by California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office this past weekend.

“Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today. You’re welcome, America.”

Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today.

You’re welcome, America.

Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary at DHS, blasted Newsom’s team for crossing the line into dangerous rhetoric.

McLaughlin wrote on X:

“This reads like a threat. This is ugly, @GavinNewsom. Your keyboard warrior team may hide behind their laptops and spew this kind of vitriol, but you would never have the guts to say this to her face.”

Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli quickly stepped in, making it clear that threats, whether veiled or direct, against senior government officials will not be tolerated.

Essayli announced:

“We have zero tolerance for direct or implicit threats against government officials. I’ve referred this matter to @SecretService and requested a full threat assessment.”

Just hours later, Newsom’s office scrambled to walk back the narrative, posting a follow-up tweet trying to reframe their message:

“TODAY: Governor Newsom signs a historic legislation package to protect immigrant communities, hold Trump accountable.”

SOON >> https://t.co/yCicETHx7P pic.twitter.com/BbcdUB2Pho

— Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) September 20, 2025

Newsom’s press office has defended itself, characterizing the outrage as overblown political theater. They have claimed their message was made in the context of new immigration legislation.

Kristi Noem:
“Well, it was cryptic, and it was really menacing. I would say, Sean, it immediately panicked my family and friends. Within, I would say, a couple of minutes of that being posted, I started to get text messages and phone calls—family, my kids—saying, “Are you okay, Mom? Are you fine?” They know the threats that I’ve had.

They know the threats that they’ve had, the things that have happened to them because of politicians like this that say things, and then somebody with an agenda—like the cartels and criminals who have already threatened our family—grabs onto them.

When you get a post like that by a governor, immediately my staff and family think, What is going on? What does he mean? We’re trying to figure it out. This is a day and age where we’ve always known that words matter, but now we’ve realized there are real consequences—things that have happened to incredible people like Charlie—that we’ll have to live with forever.

I hope we all learn from that. I hope we all learn that it’s time to start listening to each other, having civil discussions, and stopping ridiculous, irresponsible posts like the one Governor Newsom put out there.”

Kamala Harris’s emergence back into the public consciousness has taken an expected downturn. Her latest interview turned into an epic humiliation after she expressed her feelings on her loss in the 2024 Presidential election.

Harris appeared on Tuesday with the clucking hens on”The View” to discuss her new book “107 Days,” which reflected on her time as the 2024 Democratic nominee after helping force Biden out of the race. Many significant parts have already leaked, including the reason why she passed on picking Pete Buttigieg as her running mate (because of his sexuality) and what Biden said to rattle her before her debate with Trump.

During the interview, Harris revealed how she felt on Election Night after learning Trump stomped her. It turns out she was so broken that she broke down in a way she had not since her mom passed on.

That is quite believable. Then Harris also claimed her grief was not because she lost, but because of what it meant to America.

Does anyone buy this?

Things contined to go down hill for Harris. At one point, she started ranting about “light inside people,” seemingly in an attempt to explain why people need to come together and stay optimistic even during the dark days for Democrats.

Kamala Harris goes on a bizarre rant about the “light inside people” during her appearance on The View.

“And I do believe that moving forward we’re going to remember that the power ultimately is with the people and we have to remind folks that they cannot let their light and their spirit be diminished by who happens to be in the Oval Office at this moment, ” Harris said.

“And that’s part of what I hope to achieve with the book is to remind us, people by the tens of thousands for those of you who were there came to those events with such enthusiasm and optimism and dare I say joy….About the possibilities for our country and that light is inside people,” she added.

“It’s there and it cannot be diminished or extinguished by an election or an individual, and we have to remember that. That light is inside us, and it’s inside each of us and we have to see it in each other and let that guide us through this very dark time.”

The final insult came when Harris tried to separate herself from Biden (after saying last year she could not think of any difference). After rambling for less than a minute, the producers for the View evdiently got bored and decided to cut to commercial.

How sad for her.
