🧵: ANTIFA assaulted me in front of the Police, here’s what happened.
Yesterday, while covering a detransitioner rally for
@Heritage
and
@DailySignal
in front of the California State Capitol ahead of Detrans Awareness Day an ANTIFA member assaulted me in broad daylight.
Having lived in our nation’s capital for the past 6 yrs, I’ve seen my fair share of unruly crowds.
But not once did I think that these groups would feel empowered to assault a member of the media, in front of police and face no repercussion in the moment like they did in CA
Within 5 minutes of walking up to the counter protest and starting to film, one protestor broke from the group and assaulted me in the arm with a long metal object, quickly tucked the object away, and returned to the group.
@OreoExpress
caught the whole thing on his livestream.
The assault, which happened in broad daylight right in front of Sacramento cops went seemingly unnoticed in the moment.
Directly after, you can hear one man off to the side saying to the police, “You just witnessed a couple of 254s in front of you. You’re here to apply the law.”
Just prior to the detransitioner rally, a group of over 40 counter protestors gathered a block away
Clad in black garb and grasping makeshift shields, they carried a banner, “NO MORE DEAD TRANSWOMEN.” and shouted, “The trans are under attack. What do we do? ... Fight back!”
I immediately recoiled, fell back to the nearby police line and explained to law enforcement what just happened (even though they must of seen it themselves).
The officer responded, “I’m working on it, guys. I’m working on it.”
Eventually the black bloc moved off, heading downtown.
After reporting the assault to a California Highway Patrol officer, I was later contacted by the Police Department. They told me that two other people were assaulted, one suffering a seemingly traumatic blow to the head.

This is Leonel, 31. He set off from Venezuela 7 months ago, passing through 7 countries on his way to the U.S.
He arrived at the border in El Paso, Texas two days ago – He is now on a flight bound for Utah.

If we want to put an end to the Leftist, Marxist takeover of America, then we’re going to have to recapture our institutions of learning and turn them into places that serve our values and that actually focus on education.

🧵(1/6) If you live in D.C., you’ve probably seen the massive increase in the # of mopeds/motorcycles on the streets. A lot of these drivers, many of whom are delivering food, have no regard for the most basic traffic laws and are driving without licence plates
One of the biggest reasons the federal debt has exploded is that tax cuts on the rich have reduced government revenue.
The 400 richest American families paid a tax rate of 3.4 percent between 2014-2018, while the rest of America paid an average tax rate of 13.3 percent.

Donald Trump has faced scrutiny at the highest levels

SEC. MAYORKAS: "If anyone arrives at our southern border after midnight tonight, they will be presumed ineligible for asylum and subject to...a minimum 5-year ban on re-entry and potential criminal prosecution."
But if you get there at 11:59, you'll get bussed to a Holiday Inn.
I tried asking another participant, who also wouldn't tell me if he was a UPenn student, why Pro-Palestine groups won't condemn Hamas? I was almost immediately rebuffed.
Little to no migrant activity in downtown Eagle Pass,Texas, today.
A mere two blocks from Shelby Park, where just 3 months ago illegal aliens gathered in mass.

At the center of conflict between Texas and the Biden administration is Shelby Park.
But since Texas National Guard took control of the park, illegal aliens are no longer crossing there. The barriers are working.

@SecMayorkas
our borders are OPEN. Dropping migrants off at a shelter with a plane ticket and an asylum hearing court date that’s not for another half decade is not secure
Rescue Mission of El Paso is one of the last stops for some illegal immigrants crossing into the US. We’re told that the migrants staying at the shelter can come and go freely + the shelter transports the migrants to the airport as they head to other parts of the country
As many as 8 TRIPS a day to an Illegal Alien Processing Center.

@LinkedIn
censored my profile from China earlier this year after I posted an article where I interviewed a former senior editor at the Global Times who argued that Xi was trying to eclipse Mao. It goes without saying that this is a taboo topic in China
I woke up this morning to discover that LinkedIn had blocked my profile in China.
I used to have to wait for Chinese govt censors, or censors employed by Chinese companies in China, to do this kind of thing.
Now a US company is paying its own employees to censor Americans.

This is nothing new.

This is a Democratic Governor of a U.S. state telling AMERICANS that they need to SELL THEIR HOMES immediately and give it over to other AMERICANS in his state.
The same state that flat out banned a U.S. constititutional right.
The Maui wildfires uncovered a clear truth, which is we have too many short-term rentals owned by too many individuals on the mainland. Our people deserve housing in Hawai’i, especially those most affected by the worst disaster in our state’s history.
🧵Upon first approaching the encampment on UPenn’s campus, I began to feel uneasy. I was almost like all eyes were on me. I was right.
Within less than 20 minutes, I was approached by numerous “event organizers” asking me what I was doing there and which media outlet I was with.
Why are we giving rich Ivy League schools billions in federal research grants to inculcate pro-Hamas, American hating leftists?
They don’t deserve a dime.

are you aware that the apperent leaders of your pro-palestine encampment, might not even be UPenn students at all?
How are you ensuring the safety of all students on your campus when outside agitators are clearly running the show?

Students ripped down the barricades and piled them in the center of the encampment.

"But they acknowledged numerous hurdles — for instance, the lack of access to health insurance, which heightens the financial risks of any accident. Expenses such as “renting” food-delivery accounts and financing mopeds add to their burdens."
