Unpopular opinion, but Rep. Swalwell’s response here is real shitty, and it’s counterproductive in any “deradicalization” sense.
Had he censored Jeremy’s last name and photo, fine.
(And don’t @ me about threats to one’s life. I’m painfully familiar with exactly that.)

Just to head off the nonsense at the pass: yes, I do have every right to criticize @RepSwalwell on this.
I was the target of a murder conspiracy, someone involved apologized to me, and guess what?
They’re an enormous ally to all us anti-Nazis now.

I’ve come to know the person who apologized for the kill list I was on (the FBI made numerous arrests over it — not a random DM). I’d never out them.
Sincere apologies are an open door to do some good.
Swalwell did the opposite for Twitter clout and that’s… extremely crappy.

Yeah, so I’m going to mute this because some of you can’t see past partisan politics and have precisely zero experience of what it actually means to work in the space of political violence and — for real — almost get murdered because of that.
Go take a nap.
