In response to the Capitol insurrection and the demonstrable threat that these groups and others continue to pose to the country, the days of hiding in plain sight are over. The FBI has already conducted operations and made arrests against the leadership of the Proud Boys and the net will continue to tighten around those that are associated with these groups and the insurrection.

With lawmakers calling for white supremacy to be declared a national security threat, the Biden administration will most certainly be inclined to give the FBI the additional resources that they need to combat the overall domestic violent extremism threat, including that of white supremacy.

We must remain a nation of laws for our democracy to exist and function. Those who choose to align themselves to the ideology of dividing and destroying the U.S. from the inside must be held accountable. Those who plot and act out should be faced with the reality of vigorous prosecution that matches the crime and serves as an effective deterrent. The FBI must be given the tools to handle this urgent task, to include the creation of a domestic terrorism statute to enforce by Congress.

Let’s remember, there are not ‘very fine people on both sides’ of this issue — There is right and there is wrong.

Students at the University of California, Berkeley are paying for the privilege of living in police-enforced lockdown. The university, which is dealing with a surge of COVID-19 cases, has decided to use draconian means to make sure virus spread stays limited. "The self-sequester mandate for UC Berkeley students living in the dormitories, originally intended to end Monday, has been extended for another week, with stricter security measures in place to enforce quarantining," noted SFGate yesterday.

The new security measures include campus cops roaming dormitory halls looking for students leaving their rooms for unapproved reasons. The only permissible reasons to leave your dorm room at Berkeley are for meals, bathroom breaks, or getting a COVID-19 test.

Those reasons no longer include individual outdoor exercise as of this week. "We are working with the city of Berkeley to determine whether outdoor exercise may be permitted, and we will provide more information on this in the near future," the university told students.
