In 2017, Oxford Dictionaries shortlisted it as one of its words of the year, and since then, the term has become arguably even more prominent. Indeed, antifa (Anti-Fascist Action) seems to be everywhere these days. An anarchist associated with antifa was shot and killed by police on July 13 as he carried a rifle and attempted to burn buses and a propane tank at an immigration detention center in Tacoma, Washington. On Aug. 4, a man who associated with antifa killed nine people in a mass shooting outside a bar in Dayton, Ohio, having previously carried a similar rifle while participating in a local counterprotest against the Ku Klux Klan on March 25.
