Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor and author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, is releasing a new book titled Unpunctuated Death Threats: Notes from a Fascist Present. The book, set for release on January 19, details Bray’s decision to leave the United States for Spain due to threats he received following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Bray’s departure was triggered by alleged death threats and the circulation of his home address online. The assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative figure and founder of Turning Point USA, in September 2025, is cited as a key factor in Bray’s decision to flee. Kirk was killed during a speaking event at Utah Valley University.
The publisher of Bray’s book captures the intense political atmosphere and its impact, stating that federal agents questioned Bray at the airport. Despite the scrutiny, Bray and his family managed to relocate to Spain. The book highlights Bray’s view of America as teetering on the edge of fascism, making the country a place to escape from.
“Unpunctuated Death Threats is an intimate journey to the heart of how this Trumpian moment and the new fascism it has birthed…has shockingly made the United States a place to flee from,” the book description states.
Bray, who has moved abroad for safety reasons, has often expressed his support for anti-fascism. His previous work, Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, advocates for militant anti-fascism, pledging half of the author’s proceeds to the International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund.
In a recent podcast interview, Bray discussed his views on Antifa, likening the movement to an idea similar to feminism. Critics have launched petitions against him, citing his past statements and support for controversial causes.
Supporters of Charlie Kirk have reacted strongly to Bray’s book and his ongoing advocacy. Megan Doyle, a Rutgers student, commented, “Mark Bray’s portrayal of himself as a victim is highly ironic. His advocacy for political violence and financial support for Antifa make his victimhood claim difficult to accept.”
Bray remains employed at Rutgers University, despite his relocation and ongoing controversies. Fox News has reached out to both Bray and Rutgers University for comments on the developments surrounding his new book and public statements.
