What is Trantifa? Alleged member of far-left trans movement uses flag pole to violently attack US man in shocking video
A shocking viral video shows a man being attacked by a person wearing all-black, with their face covered, while the victim was leaving the CIF State Championship at Veterans Memorial Stadium. The alleged victim shared the video on X, showing the suspect approaching and attacking him. He referred to the suspect as a Trantifa member. The alleged victim, who goes by the name Oreo Express on X, wrote, 'I was targeted and violently assaulted today by transtifa when me and my family were leaving the CIF State Championship @ Veterans Memorial Stadium.' 'This person called me out by name before striking me multiple times with their flag pole,' he added. 'Fortunately I was able to pepper spray them and police had seen the incident and took the they/them into custody. Transtifa is violent.' Later, another video that surfaced showed the suspect being arrested. The suspect was seen crying while being taken away by authorities. Collin Rugg shared the video on X, writing, 'Transtifa" member starts crying while being arrested in California after assaulting a man with a transgender flag. The incident unfolded at the CIF State Championship, where male AB Hernandez is competing in girls' track.' Trantifa is a far-left trans movement that has been spreading across the United States. Several transgender activists involved in the movement have been accused ofintimidating and physically assaulting people who disagree with them, Newsweek reported previously. Trantifa is a portmanteau of "transgender" and "Antifa' – the latter is a truncation of "anti-fascist" and a left-wing movement that became prominent in 2017. The antifa movement has been criticised by many prominent figures, including Donald Trump. "Antifa's professed purpose is to vigorously oppose fascism," the Anti-Defamation League states. "While some extreme actors who claim to be affiliated with Antifa do engage in violence or vandalism at rallies and events, this is not the norm." Trantifa is also believed to be a formalized group, which describes itself as "the transgender arm of Antifa' on its social media pages.

Footage shows LGBTQ protester attacking conservative at California track championship amid trans athlete drama
California's track and field state championship in Clovis, California, turned into a crime scene Friday as tensions rose between opposing protesters. One LGBTQ protester was arrested after allegedly attacking a conservative protester outside Veteran Memorial Stadium at Buchanan High School, the Clovis Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital. The man allegedly attacked is California right-wing activist and content creator Josh Fulfer, who goes by the nickname "Oreo Express" on social media. Footage obtained by Fox News Digital shows the LGBTQ protester, who police have identified as 19-year-old Ethan Kroll, striking Fulfer with a flag pole that had a large transgender pride flag attached. Additional footage showed the LGBTQ protester being arrested by Clovis police after the incident. Police records obtained by Fox News Digital show that Kroll, a male, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm, obstructing a public officer and vandalism. Fulfer told Fox News Digital the incident happened after he left the meet, was driving with his wife and came up to a red light. He says Kroll was there wearing black face coverings. "They were yelling something, and they recognized me right away. And they said something. I don't even know, I can't understand what they were saying, but I said something in the nature of, 'If you're so proud and you're not ashamed of your cause, why don't you show your face? Why are you so embarrassed to show your face?'" Fulfer said. "And then they yelled something. And when they yelled something, they started going right across the street onto the center divide. And then they said, 'You're Josh Fulfer,' and started hitting me with the pole. They put the pole in the car and started jabbing me with the pole." Fulfer said he sustained bruising and scrapes on his arm from the strikes. Fulfer then pepper-sprayed Kroll's eyes, he and police said. Fulfer alleges that after pepper-spraying Kroll, the LGTBQ protester pulled the pole out of the car and started smashing the roof and door of his car. Fulfer says he then drove away and alleges Kroll smashed the back of his car as he drove off. Photos provided by Fulfer show slight denting to the vehicle. Fulfer says nearby police officers watched and rushed in to intervene. Clovis Police Sgt. Chris Hutchison told Fox News Digital no other criminal incidents occurred at or near the track meet Friday night. "Our stance is always to allow people to exercise their constitutional right to free speech and protest," Hutchison said. "They have a right to do it in a manner that isn't inciting violence or causing other problems. … We don't have room for violence or property damage or anything like that." Hutchison and Fulfer told Fox News Digital police set up designated "free speech zones" for activists in attendance this weekend. The competition has seen a sizable presence of protesters due to the participation of transgender athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley High School competing in the girls long jump, high jump and triple jump. The athlete finished in first place in all three events during the preliminary round Friday night. Saturday, Hernandez will compete in the final round and look to take all three state titles. Witnesses told Fox News Digital there were more than 50 protesters at the competition Friday, with many planning to return to Saturday for the finals. Women's athlete activists held a protest early Saturday morning, organized by California Family Council Outreach Director Sophia Lorey. During Friday's event, a plane flew over the stadium with a banner that said, "No Boys in GIrls' Sports!" Hernandez dominated the girls' postseason this spring, attracting national attention in recent weeks as President Donald Trump called out the state for allowing it to happen and threatening federal funding cuts if it continues. Then the Department of Justice announced Wednesday it would launch an investigation into the California Interscholastic Federation and California Attorney General Rob Bonta over the state's law that allows biologically male trans athletes to compete with girls and women. The CIF announced a pair of rule changes Tuesday and Wednesday in response to the backlash, expanding the size of the competitor pool and even handing out medals to any "biological female" athlete displaced by a transgender athlete at the meet.

Part-time instructor at Fresno State University calls for death of Trump, Musk
A part-time instructor at Fresno State University called for the deaths of President Donald Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk. "I have a dream for this to happen much sooner rather than later," part-time instructor Katherine Shurik posted on Instagram on Jan. 11, 2025. The post included a photo of Trump in a casket with former president George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush, former president Bill Clinton and former first lady Hillary Clinton, former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama and first lady Melania Trump all looking on. Watch: Protesters Rail Against 'Malignant Presence' Elon Musk During 'Tesla Takedown' Demonstrations She included the hashtags, "#FelonTrump #TraitorTrump #RapistTrump #DieTrump #TrumpDead," in the Instagram post. A video of Shurik posted Saturday on X by the account Oreo Express showed her saying that she would give extra credit to her students who attended a protest against Elon Musk and Tesla. Read On The Fox News App Saturday was the "Tesla Takedown's Global Day of Action," which included over 200 protests across the country. The website for the effort instructs people to "Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines. We're tanking Tesla's stock price to stop Musk. Stopping Musk will help save lives and protect our democracy." Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla, has struck the ire of Americans across the country for his auditing of programs and departments in the federal government for efficiency and eliminating redundancy. Since January, multiple Tesla dealerships as well as Tesla vehicles have been vandalized by protesters. 10 Places Where Tesla Vehicles, Dealerships Were Attacked This Year In the X video posted by Oreo Express, Shurik says, "I'm Katherine Shurik, I am actually trying to get a NOW chapter, National Organization of Women off the ground here in Fresno, I'm an anthropologist and a professor at the university here." She added, "I teach an activist anthropology course. I am trying to get my students involved as well. The next week they do get extra credit for coming to the protest." On Facebook, Shurik shared a photo of a tombstone that had the words inscribed, "Donald J. Trump, June 14, 1946 to now would be good," according to a report from The San Joaquin Valley Sun. Shurik added words to the post that read, "And take Musk and the rest of the Nazi (Republican) party members with you too!" Another post shared on Instagram by Shurik says "Marked safe from watching a lying terrorist rapist, who wants to eliminate the Constitution swear to abide by the Constitution." In a statement to Fox News Digital, Fresno State University said, "While Fresno State firmly believes in the principles of free speech, we strongly condemn the abhorrent social media posts and comments made by one of our part-time instructors." The university added that, "As these views were published by the employee as a private citizen, they do not represent our University in any way. Fresno State firmly denounces wishes of death against any elected official, particularly the President of the United States – these go against our core educational values and are not consistent with our Principles of Community. As Americans and educators, we pride ourselves on democratic dialogue, not words of derision and contempt about the most important political figure of our country." Fox News Digital also reached out to Shurik for comment, but did not immediately receive a article source: Part-time instructor at Fresno State University calls for death of Trump, Musk
