Kim Kelly, a journalist and a member of the Metropolitan Anarchist Coordinating Council (MACC) press collective, said that police, district attorneys and other authorities have been emboldened to stifle anti-Trump protest movements since the president’s election.
Meanwhile, Kelly argues, the government has not carried out a similar campaign against those on the far right or the alt-right, a loosely knit coalition that includes white supremacists and neo-Nazis. “It’d be an insult to Janus to refer to the situation as two-faced; rather, let’s call it what it is, state-sanctioned repression tactics,” she told Al Jazeera.
