In reply to the discussion: US anti-fascism expert blocked from flying to Spain at airport [View all]Blackjackdavey
(244 posts)2. He did it wrong.
Unfortunately, i don't wish to give anyone a head's up and start work on stopping "the way."
But I'm confused, for years it's about "if you don't like it get the hell out of the country." Now it's, "if you don't like it we'll make you stay?" What in the world is the point of that? What if he fits their demographic profile? Does he get to leave, is he made to stay, is he made to stay so he can be forced to leave? Clowns.

The feeling of safety is individually specific. What feels safe to me, may not feel that way to you or someone else. ❤️

Why have a shutdown? The whole thing is a big ugly punishment of Americans, just like the big ugly bill before it.

No good reason... the point of terrorizing their "enemies" is to instill fear.

Possibly they want to keep him here for Trump's lackeys in Congress to grill him.

It's likely more about the shutdown than about Bray himself. About 200 flights were cancelled from Mon to early Wed.

I see. Thanks. I think I read that his flight was cancelled, and misunderstood it as THE flight that was cancelled.

The Guardian's report says "the family were rebooked for Thursday evening...." We'll see if they get to leave.

I expect we'll be reading more stories that constitute the regime's unfolding narrative about antifa.

Flight was not cancelled. They had already checked in, went through security and were at the boarding gate.

Amen. Because all they want is to publicly criminalize him as a leader of antifa.
