Comment on Headline: I don’t know if swarm is the right word, I think that implies they entered the home? I guess a group of insects is a swarm whether it’s inside or out. They had their Nazi party in the street, and the governor’s home is protected at all times by state police.
…
Dozens of Neo-Nazis demonstrated outside the home of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) on Saturday night, in an intimidating display of hate. Members of the group NSC-131 — which seeks to create a white-only ethnostate in New England — marched Saturday night through the Boston suburb of Arlington, uniformed in khakis, black jackets, face masks, and baseball caps.
The NSC-131 members moved under cover of darkness, co-opting the progressive activist chant, “Whose streets? Our streets!” The neo-Nazis then lined up on the sidewalk across the street from the Healey’s home, which was protected by state troopers. The group’s members lit red traffic flares, and held these aloft with stiff arm Hitler salutes. They unfurled a banner reading: “WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.”
The action by NSC-131 was an in-the-streets response to civil rights charges brought against the group by the state late last year. A 26-page complaint was lodged by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell (D) in December. Campbell denounced the group’s efforts to “target and terrorize people across Massachusetts and interfere with their rights,” and insisted the state of Massachusetts is dedicated to “holding this neo-Nazi group and its leaders accountable.”
That legal complaint hits NSC-131 for actions that “unlawfully target and disrupt LGBTQ+ events,” including drag queen story hours; “unlawfully target immigrants based on race and national origin,” including by trespassing at hotels where asylum seekers have been offered temporary housing; “unlawfully attack members of the public,” with frequent brawling at NSC-131 marches; and for numerous efforts to “disrupt public peace and safety.”
…
Maura Healy was an aggressive lawyer for a long time before she was governor. I’m sure the AG is no exception.
Interesting that they think they are the ones not going anywhere in the state where America drew its first breath of liberty. Fuck Nazis.

These dumb fucks don’t understand that everyone else has to go along with them.
You’re not going to have your precious “white-only ethnostate” when the vast majority of white people in New England have no desire for such a thing.
Maybe, but could we give them a small plot of land or island? Put a few walls around it, maybe a moat, you know to protect them.
I’m sure we can find some barren as fuck plot to put them on.
The military probably has a couple old munitions testing grounds they could do without.
That would give them some resources.
That would give them cancer.
We are being entirely too polite to these assholes. Our grandfathers would be ashamed of us.
With 40% of the population supporting these rancid fascist fucknuggets there’s no meaningful way to deplatform them and they know it. They need fear beaten back into them.
My grandfather voted for brexit because he hates immigrants so idk
Family can be a real crapshoot.
Fuck our grandparents, they tilled the soil that grew this hate. It’s our children we should think of… how would they feel about what we’re doing about this problem.
My grandfather shot Nazis and my grandmother smuggled draftees across the border to Canada. Maybe you’re just from poor stock.
Unfortunately though they are outliers. Not common or the rule. A far too large part of that generation despite fighting fascists overseas, voted almost exclusively for fascists locally. For decades. Pre 1964 it was honestly a rough choice. I’ll give them that much. You had the fascistic Republicans chock full of antisemites and Hitler sympathizers. Who in the 1930s had gotten caught, forming a fascist plot to depose FDR. End the new deal, and turn America into a business friendly fascist dictatorship. Or the extremely bigoted Dixiecrats to choose between.
Post 1964 it quickly became more and more unjustifiable to vote for Republicans. But they still did. In droves even. Between Nixon and Reagan the breaks came off. With the folksy fascist winning in an electoral landslide. Doing so much deep lasting damage that we’re still assessing the damage to this day. Terrifying Democrats for 2 generations now and cowing them into nothing more than complicit, milquetoast enablers.
Don’t get me wrong, I vote against Republicans in every election. Which generally means voting for Democrats. Who often don’t even run at the state and local level here for many offices. But America, for the last 100 years has absolutely let fascism openly fester.

I mean, he was driving the car most of the time from my understanding. So, while I don’t accept the premise of your question; yes, he was proud of her.
As proud as any tRump supporter right?
And yet if you, as a leftist, suggest that we should be arming ourselves like our enemies who have openly said they want to kill us, you’ll be called a redneck gun nut, Russian troll, and/or fake leftist.
You know, I’ve never done that or even suggested that people on the left should not have guns, yet I remember people here (and I’m pretty sure you were one of them) telling me that’s what I wanted because they decided that something like me saying “I think there should be heavier regulations” or “maybe guns should be kept out of the hands of people who have been institutionalized for mental illness” means I want everyone’s gun to be seized by Trump personally.
I have not seen this argument you claim. If a liberal wants to own a gun, they can own a gun. Genuine leftists, particularly of the seize-the-means-of-production sort, are also not exactly unfamiliar with violence.
Perhaps you are hanging out with … trolls?
Or perhaps actually calling for violence, which would get your comments removed, on here at least?
Remember kids: the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi
It is perfectly legal to punch a Nazi for being a Nazi.
Well, it’s not legal to punch a Nazi just for being a Nazi. However, it is always moral to punch a Nazi for being a Nazi. Just know that if you choose to do the moral thing, the nazis with badges will likely arrest you for it.
What I’m saying is that if you’re going to be arrested anyways, you might as well make it worth it and get in more than just one punch.
If we’re discussing optimal punches to punishment ratio then you have to stop once they’re on the ground and definitely don’t kick them, because that would upgrade the charges to Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
If you really want to get away with punching Nazis then these Nazis are known to brawl at marches and events, so just instigate a bit without making physical contact and they’ll be the first to initiate touch, then you can turn them black and blue and red for you. Because self defence warrants a hell of a lot.
Punching nazis is a moral good and every black eye on a nazi face makes a child somewhere smile.
They didn’t “Swarm” anything, they threatened the lady governor en masse under the cover of darkness like the pussies they usually are, maintaining that thin veneer of legality so that the governor can’t go after them.
Now the Nazi punks are acting like they’re the KKK to a sitting governor, time to start curb stomping some Nazis kids, before they come to curbstomp the rest of us.
Nazis should be on everyone’s fuck-up-on-sight list.
I like how they went with “New England Governor” so you’d have to click on the article to find out exactly WHICH governor from New England. Like the world’s most mundane clickbait lol
Also, swarm does not imply they entered her home. Swarm means “to surround”.
New England is one state, right?
Yeah, agreed. These clickbaity titles aren’t just sensationalist anymore, they’re flat wrong.
New England is one state, right?
The NFL apparently thinks so.
Not every NFL team represents a state.
You must be fun at parties.
Nazi scum. Fuck nazis.
So brave
So edgy
NSC-131 leaders posted video of the encounter outside the governor’s home on Telegram, a social network favored by many extremists, along with a message declaring that the point of the protest was “to show the world that lawfare will not intimidate New England Nationalists,” as well as to whine about what the hate group terms a “migrant invasion.”
Lawfare ?
Are they comparing laws to warfare ?
The rule of law is absolute. They know this. Their dream is to attack laws that uphold rights by posing the laws as a form of weapon used against them, whereas what they really want to do is change the laws to take away rights.
So to them, giving rights to brown, black, Jewish, Muslim and LGBTQ+ people is tantamount to warfare against them - because only white, heteronormative Christians should have rights in their eyes.
Ethno-nationalism 101. Attack the laws, to take away the rights, to allow atrocities under the law - also known as FUCKING NAZIS.
Well they compare their “suffering and persecution” to that of the holocaust victims of ww2, so yes. Yes they are.
We need to make it legal for citizens to shoot Nazis on site.
Or are we just going to let the police give them escorts everywhere they go and wait until they put the rest of us in death camps?
The phrasing “New England governor” is a little strange. Like, we know where Massachusetts is, how about some specificity.
“What are we gonna do, do what the commies did and kill Nazis? Commies are the enemy of the state, capitalism, and everything American. The enemy of our enemy is our friend!”
- Americans and the leaders they vote for
