Trump allies would love an excuse to step up their crackdown. Nonviolence, both disciplined and open-hearted, must define the day“They have a ‘Hate America’ rally that’s scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall,” the House speaker, Mike Johnson, said on Fox News on Friday. “It’s all the pro-Hamas wing and, you know, the antifa people.
