"President Donald Trump has accused far-left groups of inciting riots and violence, but in the last 25 years, no murders in the US have been linked to anti-fascists, while 329 murders have been linked to the far-right, according to new research."

Trump frequently accuses the far-left of inciting violence, yet right-wing extremists have killed...

Counter-terrorism expert Seth Jones, who helped create the dataset, told The Guardian: "Left-wing violence has not been a major terrorism threat."

Today in 1887, working class anarchists were executed in Chicago. The Haymarket Martyrs were framed for a bombing by authorities for supporting workers striking for the 8-hour day. May we remember them, and remember the violence the state perpetuates against those who resist.
