The hard left’s allies and enablers keep getting picked off one by one at both the State and Federal levels.
We’ve come a long way from Trump ‘s first term, when the deputy chair of the DNCC held up a book in a very famous photo in a social media post…

…before pouring contempt on any semblance of the rule of law during his role as AG of Minnesota. (Federal probes into his conduct as AG are ongoing.) On the Judiciary committee back then, Nadler dismissed Antifa violence as a ‘myth’ and an ‘imaginary thing’.
Democrats and their media enablers ranged from claiming Antifa were the ‘good guys’ because ‘anti-fascist’ is right in the name — like how ‘People’s Republic’ is right in the name of various totalitarian states — to it doesn’t actually exist — to it’s just a generic idea that others have rallied around. Violent activists were emboldened in the Biden years because they did not fear prosecution.
Then Trump was sworn in for his second term. ย That’s when everything changed. We’ve now seen real arrests of real people with felony convictions for violent rioters. We’ve seen NGO protest-for-hire money streams dry up. (Thanks, DOGE!) Foreign agitators have been identified. It’s not a cute game restless students can play during their summer break anymore. We’re playing for real stakes now.
Some of the foreign agitators have problems of their own right now, and find it difficult to focus on meddling in US domestic affairs. New Terror designations have exposed the activist left’s fellow travellers to splashback for any material support. It’s not been a fast process, but it’s been a step-by-step ramp up of pressure.
So far, Florida is the only state to directly name Antifa among terrorist groups treated as a violent threat. Other states have made moves in that direction, but have not yet connected.
Federally, the Trump Team has begun picking off their friends and enablers.
Remember this post?
Marco Rubio says Antifa is being directly aided by Iran and Cuba through a massive international network that seeks to attack the West with terrorism and propaganda.

Now they’ve taken some specific action:
A State Department memo reveals that an international technology collective, now under a U.S. global terrorism designation, provided services to overseas terrorist groups and violent far-left agitators causing chaos in American cities, according to a copy obtained by Fox News Digital.
“Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Today, the United States sanctioned Autistici/Inventati โ a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world.”
Autistici/Inventati, called the A/I Collective by the State Department, is an Italy-based group that builds highly sophisticated digital infrastructure used by violent left-wing organizations in the United States and Europe, along with Islamic terrorists, according to the State Department. The collective’s services include encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming and anonymity shields, according to the memo.
…
Rose City Antifa is listed in the memo alongside a media organization that the State Department says uses A/I Collective tools to disseminate information to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which is proliferating inside the United States, Hamas, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hezbollah and others. — FoxNews

Two more targets came down in the same action: ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข/๐๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข, an Italy-based outfit Treasury says supplies digital infrastructure to antifa and far-left networks, and ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฅ, a transnational group whose two senior leaders were individually sanctioned alongside it.
Their communications are being cut, and so are their funding streams — foreign and domestic.
It’s almost as if these radicals were never the ‘grassroots’ movements they claimed to be at all.
As thought they’re an op run by outsiders who hate everything America stands for… go figure!
Don’t worry. The media will continue to ‘fall’ for it.
Supposing they can even feign ignorance at this point.
