Talk of prosecuting and investigating people on the basis of ideology broadens, like I told y'all it would. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1302664101567569920

If anyone believes that the author and Cruz are *only* talking about people who commit property damage here... well, I can't argue with anyone who says they believe that because they're a god damn liar. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1302664683304947715?s=20

BIPOC writers and dissidents told you the moment Trump and Cruz took up their "antifa" crusade where this was all going. Even folks who don't share my analysis of fascism told you that was all a test drive what would be turned on BlPOC writers and activists in time.

Now federal diversity trainings are banned/deemed "unAmerican" (which positions people who are pro-diversity as enemies of the United States), Trump says schools will be investigated for teaching the 1619 curriculum and Cruz is calling for leftists to be prosecuted under RICO.

Some of you all will blame protesters in the streets for this, of course, rather than the cheerleading for respectability that helped deliver us to this moment. Y'all just wanted so desperately to distance yourselves from antifa that you strengthened Trump's hand again and again.

Now you're doing it again, with these protests. It's unforgivable.
