Dylan Petrohilos, in the video announced as working for Industrial Workers of the World ('Wobblies'):
"Be prepared to help make the inauguration a giant clusterfuck"
Undercover investigation, Project Veritas video (1m34s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHZSfhd1X_8
According to his website, Petrohilos works as a digital journalist for ThinkProgress, an 'editorially independent project of the Center For American Progress'. The Center for American Progress is established by John Podesta.
Responsibilities included weekend social, posting on a Tumblr with 150K followers, creating marketing material, visual graphics included: data visualization, custom interactive maps, and shareable content.
His resume doesn't mention International Workers of the World (IWW), so maybe Veritas is wrong, or Petrohilos hasn't updated his site, but Google shows no connection between Petrohilos and IWW.
Anyhow, one of Podesta's employees is involved in trying to make Trump's inauguration a giant clusterfuck. One more for the road, John.

I'm a lefty, a democratic socialist, and I think it's absolutely appalling that political apparatchiks are not only fomenting dissent but also engaged in criminal practises. This is terrorism and these people should be in prison.

Good to hear it from a lefty. It's quite disturbing that Americans want to harm other Americans on Inauguration Day. Really really disturbing. And trump isn't racist nor is he a homophobe so their hatred just makes no sense whatsoever. As for immigration. Here's why he doesn't want to let more Muslims in: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/295

As Oldbenkenobi says, it's their MO--divide and conquer. They've manufactured a hatred of Muslims, when the Muslims are not the real enemy. But I also believe that countries have absolutely the right to close their borders if they want to. There's nothing wrong with that. The people's wish should prevail, and if they don't want any more immigration, the government should stop immigration.
I have some problems with Trump's views on women and his business dealings, but they are small fry compared to Satanists trying to start WWIII and trafficking and raping children. I wish Democrat voters would see that.

Yes. There's no denying trump kind of falls into that generation of men that you catch looking at your boobs when you're trying to have an intelligent convo. (I think some women should cover up a little more though.). But I don't think he's sexist to the point of choosing for a job a less qualified less intelligent man over a woman that is more qualified intelligent etc.
I hope he improves the economy enough so that those women/Moms that WANT to stay home to raise their babies, but can't afford to, might be able to do so in the near future due to their husbands having the opportunity to earn more at higher paying jobs.
I feel sorry for a lot women juggling full time jobs and babies and homework and extra curricular activities and supper and housework and morning carpool lines at school etc while barely making ends meet -- if making ends meet at all.
I think the "elites" have been ignoring this large group of women for years.

Many Dems do and are now a part of the Trump party. Im glad there are still those on the left who still think for themselves.
I think we are seeing the complete breakup of both parties to be honest. Trump has been getting more and more people from across the pond politically and the media continues to try to divide and conquer. Many people want to see all the corruption out and they don't care if the people in power are R- or D-'s the corruption, and insidiousness of these people are all coming to light. Its like we pulled back the curtain on the Wizard of OZ and they continue to try to manipulate.
