and will now be emboldened on the killing of activists.

Heather who I understand was a Wobbly, was not killed just by an individual, she was killed by a system of terror and supremacy. A system that sees this as a necessary part of their "Free Speech". It's a "Which Side Are You On?" moment.

The Nazis didn't go after the Jews FIRST. They had to get rid of the people who would actually FIGHT them. So they first went after Communists, socialists, anarchists, and trade unions.

These people are not American. They may live here, and wrap themselves in flags and sit in the Oval office and the Congress. But they are NOT American.

If it isn't prosecuted as such, imagine if his name was Abdul.

The Republican party should be branded as a domestic terrorism group.

I yelled at him that the vast majority are white and claim to be Christian. Then I turned my back and let my husband deal with him -- hubby's nicer in a way because he looks at this man and sees the dreadful aloneness and misery of his life, instead of just the *hole part. Altho hubby yelled at him too.

Gods rest the soul of the brave young woman who died today.

Heather Heyer most certainly did.

As much as any soldier that ever fell on a battlefield fighting fascism/nazis, that's for damn sure.

I hope she rests in peace with all the other martyrs for freedom that laid down their lives for humanity.

There are still many other heroes laying broken in the hospital that were wounded in the same right wing terror attack.

I pray they are healed soon and receive all the help they need to pick up their lives again.
