‘Fight Fascism!’: Left-Wing Groups With History Of Violent Protest Involvement Recruiting Ahead Of Inauguration

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
Following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, flyers began cropping up around the largest college campus in Washington, D.C., recruiting for groups with a history of participating in violent or otherwise unlawful protests.
Scanning the QR codes that appear on the flyers posted around George Washington University brings up a collection of links inviting individuals to fight fascism by joining groups like the People’s Medic Collective (PMC), the DMV Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and the Socialist Action Initiative (SAI). The trio of groups were recently involved in pro-Palestinian protests that took place in the nation’s capital following Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel, which were rife with illegal activity.
“What now?” one of the post-election flyers reads, directing observers to join the coalition of left-wing organizations. “Fight Fascism! Start Today!” another flyer, bearing a QR code that redirects to sign-up links to the protest groups, reads. “Turn Your Anger Into Action,” a third flyer also recruiting for the groups, says.

PMC, which recruits healthcare professionals to provide medical care to demonstrators, has a history of supporting protestors as they engage in violent clashes with the police. The organization, for instance, boasts on social media about having provided “dozens” of protestors with medical aid during the “Arrest Netanyahu” protests in July. During those protests, demonstrators allegedly engaged in violent clashes with police, vandalized statues, tore down an American flag and burned it, The Washington Post reported.
DMV SJP helped to organize a pro-Palestinian encampment on the campus of George Washington University in April, the Washington City Paper reported. Over 30 students were ultimately arrested at the encampment in May after failing to disperse when ordered to do so by law enforcement, according to a local media report. Four students at the encampment were charged with assaulting police officers.
Ahead of Trump’s first inauguration in 2017, protestors dressed in black stormed D.C. and engaged in mass violent confrontations with police, Reuters reported at the time. Multiple vehicles were set on fire, six officers were injured in fights, and businesses across the capital suffered property damage. At least 217 people were arrested in confrontations with police.
After being evicted from George Washington University, DMV SJP returned on the first day of classes in August, setting off smoke bombs, attempting to knock over barricades and yelling into megaphones, Campus Reform reported.
DMV SJP has also engaged in violent rhetoric, referring to their activism as “the student intifada,” according to social media posts. “Intifada” refers to “an armed uprising of Palestinians against Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip,” according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
SAI collaborated with DMV SJP to stage its pro-Palestinian protests, according to a social media post, and was suspended from operating on George Washington University’s campus over misconduct.
Activists, organized under groups like the American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood, the Women’s March and the National Women’s Law Center, plan to take to the streets of D.C. ahead of Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, according to The Post. Organizers already estimate that 50,000 people will attend the mass demonstration.
“As in 2017, when Trump was inaugurated for the first time, the Women’s March, Planned Parenthood, and other abortion groups have again announced a mass demonstration in January 2024 to try to disrupt Trump’s second inauguration,” Post Millennial senior editor Andy Ngo wrote on X. “At the 2017 Trump inauguration, a large group of violent Antifa members smashed up buildings and started fires to reject the election while the city was occupied with other leftist protests. D.C. prosecutors dropped all the charges against the suspects. This would empower Antifa to commit more acts of political violence over the next four years.”
Federal prosecutors ultimately did drop all charges against the inauguration protestors in July 2018, NBC News reported.
George Washington University, PMC, DMV SJP and the SAI did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

‘I’m Cautiously Optimistic’: Doug Ford Strongly Recommends Canada ‘Not To Retaliate’ Against Trump’s Tariffs

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Jason Cohen
Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to avoid retaliation against the tariffs President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday.
Trump announced in the White House Rose Garden that he would impose “a minimum baseline tariff of 10%” on all goods entering the United States, with Canada not being included on the list of countries with higher rates. When asked about what Canada’s response would be on “Bloomberg: Balance of Power,” Ford said he was “cautiously optimistic” about Canada’s omission from the higher-tier tariffs and emphasized the importance of a cooperative relationship with the U.S.
WATCH:
“Well, let’s see where these tariffs go. I’m cautiously optimistic that I never saw Canada or Mexico on that list. And it just goes to show you two great countries working together, collaborating together and building relationships,” Ford said. “So again, I’m cautiously optimistic. I think if that’s the case, it’s the right thing for both the U.S and Canada.”
Host Kailey Leinz noted that there are currently tariffs on Canada in place as well as an exemption for goods that are in compliance with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“Does that mean, sir, at least in your mind, that it wouldn’t be appropriate for Canada to retaliate for this at this time?” Leinz asked.
“That is correct. If that’s the case, then I would highly recommend to the prime minister not to retaliate. And let’s carry on a strong relationship,” Ford answered. “Let’s build the American-Canadian fortress around both countries and be the wealthiest, most prosperous, safest two countries in the world.”
Trump declared a national emergency to levy a slew of reciprocal tariffs on what he has deemed “Liberation Day.”
“My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day, April 2, 2025, will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America’s destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to make America wealthy again,” Trump said.
The president also announced that he would proceed with implementing a 25% tariff on “all foreign-made automobiles” that will take effect at midnight.
Ford in March had imposed a 25% surcharge on electricity to New York, Michigan and Minnesota, but promptly rescinded the policy and apologized to Americans on WABC’s “Cats & Cosby” radio show the following day. The tariffs were a retaliatory measure against Trump’s flurry of tariffs against Canada since starting his second term.

Biden Administration Was Secretly More Involved In Ukraine Than It Let On, Investigation Reveals

From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Wallace White
The U.S was far more directly involved in aiding Ukrainian forces against Russia than previously understood, a New York Times investigation revealed Monday.
American backing of Ukraine was an instrumental piece in forces of the eastern European nation wounding or killing more than 700,000 Russian soldiers during the course of the war, according to the NYT. Methods the U.S. used to aid Ukraine included giving target information while officially obfuscating their nature, dispatching American advisers close to the frontlines and sweeping oversight over its use of missile systems granted by officials.
One European intelligence official was taken aback as to how deep U.S. involvement was, telling the NYT that American officials had become “part of the kill chain.”

Ukrainian officials met in Wiesbaden in Spring 2022, the headquarters of the U.S. European Command, to discuss strategy with U.S. forces and the extent to which the U.S. would aid the Ukrainians.
During the meeting, U.S. European Command settled with Ukrainian officials that they would reportedly dispense target locations as “points of interest” to the Ukrainians, not officially calling them “targets” as they believed the language would be too “provocative.”
“If you ever get asked the question, ‘Did you pass a target to the Ukrainians?’ you can legitimately not be lying when you say, ‘No, I did not,’” a U.S. official told the NYT. Most artillery strikes were carried out with the M777 Howitzer system, in part provided by the U.S.
Due to diplomatic risks, the Biden administration wanted to share intel in the most plausibly deniable way possible, with a total restriction on sharing the whereabouts of Russian military figures and targets on Russian soil, one senior U.S. official told the NYT. The information shared would have to adhere to NATO guidelines of intel sharing to not provoke the Russian’s ire against other nations in the alliance.
“Imagine how that would be for us if we knew that the Russians helped some other country assassinate our chairman,” the official told the NYT. “Like, we’d go to war.”
European Command also had sweeping oversight of the Ukrainian use of the HIMARS missile system, the Americans retaining the ability to shut off the activation key cards required to fire the missiles, according to the NYT. HIMARS strikes regularly resulted in hundreds of Russian deaths weekly.
Advisers regularly made visits to the frontlines of the war, referred to as “subject matter experts” in their official capacity, according to the NYT. Their official names only changed back to “advisers” once Ukrainian leadership changed, which was also followed by a threefold increase in advisers.
Despite the deep cooperation, there was often tension between the U.S. and Ukraine, with Kiev often accusing the Americans of being overbearing, while the Americans questioned why sometimes Ukrainians did not heed their advice, according to the NYT.
