So fwiw, I'm extremely new to interacting with antifa, SHARPS, etc. I used to think if we ignored the nazis, they'd go away. That antifa & co were giving them attention that they thrived on. Now, I'm realizing antifa/SHARPS/etc are the only thing keeping nazis in the shadows.

I spent today reporting proud boy gang members to police for stalking me. I'm not antifa. They don't deal with police, for very legitimate reasons. I actually think I might be dead if antifa wasn't keeping these guys in check. It took a viral tweet to get the cops on this.

I'm a boring-ass liberal, pretty much. I thought I could just respectably post facts about where these guys worked, we'd be boring-ass political opponents, whatever. Instead they came to my home in the middle of the night as violent, scary gang, and threatened my safety.

There are some officers taking it seriously now, but it took my tweets going a little viral for police to notice. In the meantime, it was antifa folks offering me places to stay, bulletproof vests, etc. In the end, these were the folks who immediately tried to keep me safe.

I've only done this work for a tiny bit of time, and they're already threatening my life. Antifa folks didn't try to get famous off me or my fear. They just wanted me to be safe. Even though I used to be pretty snarky and write them off.

I know now that the only reason I get to do this work is, other folks take risk and are on the front line. These fascist motherfuckers want me dead, make no mistake. They want us all silenced. Antifascists make room for our voices.

Replying to @gwensnyderPHL
lol. They showed up to talk to you, without masks on, and you say they are violent. Nice try but not buying it. Are we supposed to feel bad for you after you dox people without any evidence? Weren't you willing to talk to them before? What changed?

Yeah, in the middle of the night, with no warning or prior contact. Nice try, dolt.
