Melissa Berntsen, outside Thomas Allen's court hearing, yelling racial epithets at a black man. She also followed a woman into the courthouse and pulled her hair after the woman spilled tea on her. Berntsen is currently facing hate crime charges in Washington County.

U.S. State Department has designated leftist tech group Autisti/Inventati (A/I) a FTO, accusing it of ties to terrorist orgs due to the group’s encrypted platforms such as Noblogs, a popular blogging platform with leftist groups. A/I responded rebuking the designation: “We will not back down.”
"Today we were made aware that the US
Government has targeted a small, volunteer-run, technology collective from Italy with
disproportionate sanctions as anyone can read in the Treasury Department Statement, the State Department Statement and the related Executive Order.
We deny all allegations included in the statements, while we strongly affirm our dedication to providing a platform of tools for digital self-defense, addressing the need of free communication for activists and other individuals, groups and associations.We will not back down, we will keep doing what we have been doing all these years and we will do whatever is in our possibility to counter the false allegations made by a politically desperate administration with the sole intention of swaying people and media attention away from their own violence and warmongering.
Antifascism and anticapitalism are not terrorism.
Protesting is not terrorism. And everyone has the right to speak out and to struggle for humanity.

Pawl Pawlowski was found guilty today of harrassment from putting hands on me in 2024. He represented himself. In court, he tried justifying doxxing my family. His sentencing will be tomorrow at 11 a m. He threatened to burn my family alive (video below) after years of harassment and stalking

Stephen Foster pepper sprayed person in yellow as they were being attacked by Shayne Holt & spit on by Melissa Berntsen. He even pepper sprayed Bernsten on accident. We will see if he gets charged. The far-right has been emboldened to attack people indiscriminately.

Melissa Berntsen spit on someone, when they attempted to push her in response, Berntsen's boyfriend, Shayne Holt attacked the person and choked them out. Tommy Allen pepper sprayed them and also got Bernsten. Bernsten then lied to the cops, giving them a fake identity.

O-J-M sought asylum in the United States after being sexually assaulted by several members of a Mexican drug cartel. “They threatened to kill her because O-J-M is a transgender woman,” her habeas petition states. “Fearing for her life, she fled and sought asylum in the USA in September 2023.”
