The fascist who killed Heather Heyer at Unite the Right helped turn the tides against the last Trump administration. He said there were "very fine people on both sides." The resistance grew, antifa doxxing fascists started getting those fash fired.
But some of those fash didn't stop. They kept organizing their terror cells. The fash who killed Heyer was with a group called Vanguard America. Patriot Front is a Nazi group that split off from Vanguard America. They started terrorizing people by loading up in box trucks and piling out for spontaneous marches.
That box truck tactic probably sounds familiar. Patriot Front basically disappeared at the same time that ICE started recruiting hard.
Let me make it more clear. The very same Nazis from UTR who killed Heather Heyer, who Trump called "very fine people," are now employees of DHS. They've been carrying out the ethnic cleansing they always dreamed of, and they're being paid by the government, *with your tax dollars*, to do it. And now, just like in Charlottesville, they've murdered an unarmed protestor.
This feels similar because it is. These are the same people killing daughters and mothers. Killing unarmed protestors, out of rage not fear, then lying and claiming self defense. This is the same tactic it's always been. This is the same thing they've always done.
It seems like we may have reached the Heather Heyer point of this administration early with Renee Good. Now would be a good time for everyone to get into the streets and stay there until this is over. Everyone turned the tides before, and now he's so much weaker.
This can all be over if we fight like hell to end it.

We need a much stronger voice than Mark Carney's to fight for Canada and Canadians.
Carney and others are quietly appeasing and cajoling the separatists as if they will change their mind. That's not how this works!
Stop talking down to the gutter... we need to solidify our solidarity with the 92% of Albertans who do not "definitely want to leave”!
"57 per cent said they would definitely vote to stay, while eight per cent say they would lean toward voting to stay”
"Meanwhile, eight per cent of those in favour of separation would definitely vote to leave, while 21 per cent would lean toward vote to leave.”
It's time to call this "separatism" out for what it is... a subversive hostile takeover by the United States of America and that country's President. He is the Putin of the Americas and he and anyone who deals in secret with him to weaken our country, needs to be treated as such.

He said he wanted to take over the voting in at least 15 places.
We know that means he is targeting the specific cities, counties, and districts that saved American democracy in 2020 and that could destroy Republican majorities in November.
This is why Tulsi Gabbard was in Fulton County.
They are already on the ground,
