This list is so broad as to be meaningless. They’re basically labeling everything they don’t like antifa including racial justice activists and Democratic politicians. This is just more antifa panic disguised as DHS taking action.

This is my, apparently weekly, reminder that anti-anti-fascism is just fascism. This applies to people and governments.

This is effectively a declaration of war against antifascists and the left more broadly.

The Barbed Wire conducted an in-depth review of court records and statements thus far in the July 4 Prairieland case in which 17 people have been charged related to a shooting at an ICE facility — and found holes that call into question the government’s narrative. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/24/n...

“Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.” Sounds kinda cool.

“Antifascists must work to find more creative ways to counter this political moment. One option may be working to drive wedges between different segments of the right." ~ Corvallis Antifa

Things today's White House autism announcement did not do: -Discuss strategies to increase supports and services for autistic people/families -Highlight why autistic people and families deserve respect, not pity or fear -Endorse one speck of autism research that is not dangerous pseudoscience

Fascism celebrates violence by fascists as physical and moral superiority and condemns violence against fascists as dishonorable and depraved.

Let’s get weird- we will be watching the memorial today, this will be a thread.

This should come as no surprise to anyone who knows anything about the left in the U.S. The insistence that this some kind of antifa plot is just a smokescreen to go after the right’s political enemies.

While U.S. media capitulates to fascism, in Canada the CBC features an accurate portrayal of antifa activism on their flagship prime time show The National. With commentary from @mark-bray.bsky.social and myself. youtu.be/G7I-tNtCfOA?...

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle."

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump just branded me—and anyone who resists fascism—as a “terrorist.” I won’t be silenced. Antifascism isn’t terrorism. It’s patriotism. Read/watch here: onoffense.substack.com/p/antifa-vet...

The term "Antifa"has a century of history in Europe. It originated in, and was always associated with, opposition to Nazism and other forms of fascism

The image says it all. They’re not just going to go after antifa activists. They’re looking to take out mainstream Democrats and NGOs. And bonus for the dehumanization of all of them as cockroaches.

Huge scoop from the CP: Canadian Press is reporting that Premier Danielle Smith has directed the justice ministry to use the notwithstanding clause to push through three anti-trans laws that would otherwise be blocked by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Alberta Bill of Rights

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

Support your local non-league/terrorist club. We are the Clapton, always antifascist. Donald Trump, get in the bin.

New: Part one of a three-part essay about the roots of "The Great Replacement.” totalpropaganda.net/2025/09/18/i...

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

So just to be clear, we all haven't forgotten that the current President whipped up a mob and tried to have them murder his political enemies at the Capitol, right?

Media crackdowns are a core part of the fascist playbook. As more repression looms, @neginowl.bsky.social & I write, those of us in media need to ground ourselves in our own power, seeking creative ways to raise our voices and rooting ourselves in our solidarities. truthout.org/articles/jim...

Looking forward to reading this book.

It's true that there's no magical legal status of "domestic terrorist", but there are a ton of laws that add "terrorism" nonsense to domestic crimes on the flimsiest grounds of any lawbreaking being "political." "Conspiracy to jaywalk in furtherance of terrorism" is technically chargeable.

A good resource on antifa is the Worldwide Antifascism Research Network. Our site has country histories and a growing bibliography of material on antifascism from around the world. antifascismresearchnetwork.com

Antifascism is being opposed to fascism. It’s not a unified group. I spoke with @shaneburley.bsky.social @brooklynmarie.bsky.social @davidneiwert.bsky.social and @professorstas.bsky.social about this in 2020. open.spotify.com/episode/4ng3...

It bears repeating that if you are anti-anti-fascist, you’re just a fascist.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to the rhetoric coming from the White House and the right in general. Stephen Miller essentially said this to J.D. Vance when he guest hosted Kirk’s podcast. Here’s why this is wrong and stupid. A thread.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants last month in its rushed effort to expel them to El Salvador in the middle of the night (which SCOTUS blocked). Alito and Thomas dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker plans to sign an executive order preventing state agencies from obtaining or disclosing data that personally identifies people with autism, unless required for medical care or legal matters. “Every Illinoisan deserves ... the freedom to live without fear of surveillance.”

🚨 “We just need to recognize that we’re all citizens of this country.” –– Politicians + citizens often stress a shared national identity when trying to bridge racial, partisan, or other group divides. @stysyropoulos.bsky.social & I show why such “shared” identities are doomed to fail. 🧵1/9

“In this paper, we argue that status threat arises because white Americans tend to perceive racial minorities as competing outgroups, not as fellow Americans… We find little indication that a shared American identity could reduce racial (and, in exploratory analyses, partisan) conflict in America.”

I wish everyone would read @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social 's just amazing survey of Vietnam war films. It's great, and makes a really solid case that there are no anti colonial American war films. (no, not that one. no, not that one either.) www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...

The mass adoption of AI is rapidly killing critical thought. Thinking is being outsourced to ChatGPT, bosses are replacing jobs with AI, and we’re heading for a tipping point. We have to fight back before we lose the cognitive functioning to resist. www.jphilll.com/p/thinking-i...

The last on-duty homicide of a detention and deportation officer was 1949. The last time there was even a non-COVID death on duty was 2016, when an officer had a heart attack during a foot pursuit. Before that, a training accident in 2003, then a fall down an elevator shaft at a jail in 1975.

Today I learned that the author of this 1977 op-ed was the most important college mentor for the current head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

Pete Hegseth would have been the kind of student who would turn in an AI generated paper and deny it with every fiber of his being when he’s obviously caught.

Also, I would like to hear less about how Hegseth is unqualified and more about how Hegseth is an active threat to everyone who is not a white Christian. Of course he's incompetent, *all* of Trump's picks are incompetent. But this guy advertises on his skin that he wants to kill non-believers.

I wish people on the left would stop using “diversity hire” or “affirmative action” to describe folks like Hegseth. This reinforces the racist, sexist notion that diversity and affirmative action are promoting unqualified people, doing the right’s work for the.

The euphemisation of far right politics over decades has led to the inability to call a Nazi salute a Nazi salute and fascist politics fascism The use of populism, Euroscepticism, nationalism/nativism have all played a role in diluting and minimising the threat often based on the FR's own wishes 1/

linguistics work on offensiveness maintains that a significant part of classifying a communicative act is how it’s evaluated by receivers. we knew what we were seeing when we saw it. so, by the way, did self-professed white supremacists, they loved it! what’s in elon’s heart? who cares

To be clear, these violent extremists have already been given a place in politics with Trump’s pardons and broader normalization of their deadly conspiracy theories. Nothing emboldens them more.

NEW: "Donald Trump White Power moment." "Hail Trump!" Elon Musk's controversial gestures at an inauguration event, which quickly drew comparisons to the fascist salutes of Nazi Germany, appear to have resonated among neo-Nazi leaders and other extremists online. uk.news.yahoo.com/musk-salute-...

I'm going to repeat this because it's getting lost in the more popular clip being the salute. ELON REFERENCED THE 14 WORDS AFTER HE DID IT. "It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured" is an allusion to the 14 words. There is ZERO debate about his intentions. He said it himself.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

Excellent thread on the European history in the thread below. (There was also a similar gesture called “the Bellamy salute” that was used in the United States for about 40 years in coordination with the Pledge of Allegiance. It was later dropped after the beginning of WWII.) bsky.app/profile/drma...
