As Texas Antifascist Found “Not Guilty,” Billionaire GOP Mega-Donor Reportedly Bankrolling Lawsuit for Fascist, Anti-Semitic Group | It’s Going Down

This whole ordeal also exposes how the various forces, ranging from street level fascists, to the governor of Texas who tweeted his praise of the police for arresting Chris, all the way to billionaires like Bennett who are financing a lawsuit for a literal fascist group and employing journalists at the Dallas Express who write pieces attacking antifascists – are all working towards the same goal: crushing communities standing together.
