A prominent Antifa organizer and author has abandoned his teaching post at Rutgers University to flee the United States for Europe, marking a significant retreat for the radical leftist movement under Trump’s presidency.

Antifa Leader Abandons American University Position

Mark Bray, assistant teaching professor at Rutgers University and notorious Antifa organizer, has fled the United States for Europe following what he claims are death threats and doxxing incidents. Bray, who authored the “Antifa Handbook” and previously taught at Dartmouth College, also played a key role in organizing the Occupy Wall Street movement. His departure represents a significant blow to domestic radical leftist organizing efforts.

Academic Disruption Following Government Crackdown

The timing of Bray’s flight coincides with the U.S. government’s formal designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. According to reports from journalist Andy Ngo, Bray announced his move to Europe, believed specifically to be Spain, through social media channels. Rather than face accountability for his extremist activities, Bray chose to abandon his academic responsibilities, forcing his classes into a remote-only format for the remainder of the semester.

Blaming Conservative Media for Consequences

In typical leftist fashion, Bray refuses to accept responsibility for the natural consequences of promoting violent extremism. Instead, he points fingers at Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy Ngo, and Fox News for allegedly orchestrating harassment against him. This pattern of deflection exemplifies how radical academics expect immunity from criticism while actively promoting anti-American ideologies. His claims conveniently ignore the documented violence and property destruction associated with Antifa activities across the nation.

With over 504 million reasons, American taxpayers deserve accountability from Rutgers University (@RutgersU).

Calls for Continued Violence Despite Fleeing

Even while abandoning his position and fleeing the country, Bray continues advocating for violent resistance. According to Andy Ngo’s reporting, Bray recently wrote that “Only mass antifascism, legal or not, can save us,” essentially calling for criminal activity to protect his extremist network. This statement reveals the true character of academic leftists who promote violence from positions of privilege, then retreat when faced with accountability. His flight to Europe demonstrates the cowardice typical of radical organizers who incite others to violence while seeking personal safety abroad.
