We were proud to stand with comrades against Matthew Heimbach and the TWP today at University of Tennessee in Knoxville. No platform for fascists in Tennessee. Solidarity with our comrades who were arrested by the cops today for taking back our streets. pic.twitter.com/pYL5EpgrEm

Note that the members of Anarchist Black Cross Nashville expressed their solidarity with their comrades who were arrested by law enforcement. Judging from this clip from Fox News’ Matt Finn, progressive protesters weren’t happy with the presence of police on their campus either.
