Shouldn't Charlottesville, VA Unite the Right protest also be included? James Fields, a neo-Nazi and registered republican, killed one and injured 35 when he drove his car into the crowd of peaceful counter protesters. Fields' lawyers wrote that he found out about the Unite the Right rally through its organizers' online recruiting campaign.
His attorneys say he had no intent to commit a violent act, instead describing the attack as a "impulsive, angry and aggressive decision."
President Trump said afterward that there was "blame on both sides" for the violence in the college town. “You also had some very fine people on both sides,” he said.
Indeed. We didn't go back far enough in the post. While we're both here, let's not forget about the tragic April 19, 1995, bombing by Timothy McVeigh to the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injuring hundreds in the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.
Hi Mary, we need to keep calling them out and doing all we can to take back a majority in the 2026 midterms. Everything we do at the local and national levels needs to focus on the midterms. I shared a few thoughts here. Take a look and let me know what you think. https://mitchthelawyer.substack.com/p/the-2026-blueprint-seven-steps-to?r=2fe7t3

Absolutely - the absolute worst act of right wing terrorism to date. McVeigh did not care who he killed.
Mitch, how might everyday citizens come together to push back against Trump's campaign to demonize us?
