  2. I think he should walk across the border to Mexico and hop on a flight to a non extradiction country. I do not think he is safe anymore if they are trying to keep him in.

  3. This is reaching the point where everyone who supports the government will just admit to being fascist, and any anti-fascist critique will be considered hate speech.

  4. The next lamb to be sacrificed by the cult as an offering to their god emperor. Gonna be a lot more people’s houses randomly burning down in the coming months.

  5. Holy fuck, I just ordered his book a day or so back ..

    Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook (Activist Citizens Library)

    noflylistfometoodonny?

  6. We’ve all got friends and/or relatives who continue to vote for this shit. They need to be reminded constantly that they are part of the problem. It’s not just about bad actors in the GOP. Your mom is cheering them on. She needs to know that this hurts people.

  7. If i were Mark, i’d just drive up north, cross at a not-border-crossing, and claim asylum to Canadian authorities.

    This is an egregious fourteenth amendment violation.

  9. MAGATS are the dumbest and most bitter people on earth

  10. If anti-fascists are an enemy of the state I wonder what that makes the state? hmmm

  11. While this must be taken seriously as it is in-line with the mood of retaliation and demonization that encapsulates the entire Trump regime, this is almost certainly not the Trump admin reaching out to fuck with him.

    He rebooked his flight for later that evening. This was almost certainly done by the Rutger TP USA college goons who have been harassing him for weeks now.

    This professor teaches at Rutgers, and the Rutger chapter of Turning Point USA – Charlie Kirk’s organization – has been harassing him and sending him death threats, and it’s almost certainly one of those unfuckable halfwits who trolled him by cancelling his flight.

    But I do want to call attention to this bit of irony:

    > The Rutgers chapter of Turning Point USA has said it does not support harassment or doxing, but Bray is on a list of academics the group identifies as advancing left-leaning classroom propaganda.

    The Rutgers chapter of TPUSA *absolutely* supports harassment or doxing, it is quite literally a harassment and doxing club, where unfuckable goons join to vent their sexual inadequacies on random professors.

    Lastly, I also just want to collectivley laugh at their accusation that this professor is a “financier” of Antifa, because firstly Antifa isn’t an organization and doesn’t have financing, and secondly because in what fucking world is a professor of modern Spain studies going to be financing *anything*.

  13. The true horror of this story is how cool citizens in America are behaving over your freedom of movement being taken away.

  14. So they don’t want anti fascists here, but they also don’t want them to leave like this. They want them to be deported with a cruel and humiliating arrest and process. Because the cruelty and fear is the point. Disgusting fascist bastards.

  15. He needs to report to a foreign Embassy with his family and claim Asylum immediately.

  16. They can’t make up their minds. Do they want their perceived enemies out or stuck here with them?

  18. He’s the “founder of antifa” they claimed they were arresting? Fucking Really?

  19. Alright Republicans, you told us to leave if we don’t like it here. Now you won’t let us go that.

  20. I do not believe that America is capable of digging themselves out of this hole that they’ve found themselves in. This is fucking scary.

  21. He wasn’t fleeing. He was exercising his right to move to another country. The only group that deserves any pejorative terms are the ones that interfered.

  24. We are now pretty much well into act II of It Can’t Happen Here

  25. This administration is complaining about being called fascists, while rallying against being anti-fascist.

  26. This is “fell out of a window in Russia” level bullshit

  27. How long until people from the US starts to seek asylum elsewhere?

  28. What airline canx him? Id like to know who to avoid.

  29. The two takeaways for me:

    1) Kirk & Trump fanboys love fascism and are looking to murk more people they hate (because right-wingers ARE the biggest contributors to political violence & mass shootings).

    2) That campus is sick of TPUSA’s shit.

  30. So a professor who is an expert on fascist dictatorships was targeted by republicans for criticising fascist dictatorships, so he tried to flee to Europe to escape fascism and his flight was blocked?

    I hope this isn’t anything the government had to do with, or else this is the most obvious alarm that could possibly be going off, and nothing could be clearer. What the fuck.

  32. I think the McCarthy era should have taught America something.

  33. Update via bluesky:

    “Our plane to Spain is in the air!

    🙌🙌

    Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.”

  34. Some people follow congressional stock trading. I’m gonna start following which congresspeople send their kids out of the country…

  36. It is time for him to run to a foreign embassy and request asylum. He will probably be disappeared before the end of the year otherwise.

  38. If you don’t like this country you can gtf out.

    Wait! Not like that!

  41. He got his flight rescheduled for the next day and has managed to leave the United States [safely](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/nyregion/rutgers-professor-threats-antifa.html?smid=nytcore-android-share) according to this (unfortunately also pay walled) article.

    Here’s a non-paywalled [article](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/09/anti-fascism-mark-bray-rutgers-university) that mentions he left and goes into a little more detail about how his reservation was mysteriously cancelled and he still doesn’t know by who.

  42. Very similar to what happened in my country (Czechia) in the early 50. when the country was controlled by Stalin from Moscow. It was the start of 40 years of totality in Czechia.
