Trump is now directing ICE to focus on Democratic-led cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York:

as per the MN crime account, there have been shootings at a state senator‘s house in champlin and a state rep’s in brooklyn park. suspect is apparently impersonating law enforcement and still on the loose, info on him - x.com/mn_crime/sta...

US intelligence suggests Israel may be gearing up to hit Iran's nuclear sites, Reuters reports.

Sitting US Senator Alex Padilla forcibly wrestled to the ground and arrested by the FBI for attempting to ask a question of DHS secretary Kristin Noem.

"We are here to liberate this city from [democratically elected leaders]" You may not think you're at war with them, but they're at war with you.

🧵MEGA THREAD: I'm tracking the far right anti-LGBTIQ groups targeting LGBTIQ events during Pride Month. Also, how are organizations, corporations, and lawmakers responding to the Trump Administration and Republicans' ongoing efforts to erase and criminalize the transgender and queer community.

The first step is always "make friends" because you can't do it alone. Set your egos aside and start small. Remember that fascists benefit from our infighting. Be good to one another and stop arguing over theory written by people who died before the phone was invented.

pin this ongoing mega thread of publicly available identification of ICE agents. these narcissists cannot be shamed although they are a violent threat to our communities. if they work in your area, it is our responsibility to keep our neighbors safe.

#PSA: Ticks are not insects, they're parasitic arachnids. Regular insect repellents don’t work on ticks, you have to use permethrin.

Time to post this again. When you start to type out that response to whatever bait you've taken, stop and think-- "how does this create forward momentum and praxis?" Delete that response and go do something useful.

Sometimes praxis is simple. Wanna get started in community defense? Get some friends and do stuff like this. Easy peasy, step it up from there.

The same people who were saying that masks were a tyrannical act of government during a world wide pandemic are now wearing them to arrest children and put people in foreign concentration camps.

Stay together and stay strapped.

An injury to one is an injury to all! This is what they had in mind when DOGE installed their spyware in the NLRB networks. This will only get worse. Do not let these fascist freaks drive you into solitude! Unite now and unite forever! We're in this together!

True solidarity is only possible when we have the courage and skills to fight back. Allies talk the talk, but accomplices have boots on the ground.

We have received many requests from all over the country from people looking to join their local chapter of the UCD, many from places that do not have one.The Outreach Team is building a "starter kit" with some basic info on how to get started! Email us at [email protected] for inquiries.

Come get STB certified! This is a free event. Snacks & water will be provided, and there will be a brief break inbetween. Register below: tally.so/r/nGkEMe

Buy a gun and learn how to use it. If you cannot do this for whatever reason, connect with trusted people in your community who can. Your local @socialistra.bsky.social is an excellent place to start.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

We all knew they were coming for unions. Not only that, they're now using union data to spy and plot on destroying our organizing power for good. The NLRB is now fitted with the surveillance tools the billionaire class needs to destroy unions once and for all.

Remember this next time a politician or a cop tells you someone breaking a window at a protest is terrorism but this isn't.

FORM A UNION JOIN A UNION FORM UNION SYNDICATES DO LITERALLY ANYTHING Stop waiting for permission. We don't make progress by appeasing the state. Even in the New Deal, we traded real power for comforts powered by exploitation of the Global South. DOGE is rigging the NLRB, work solo if necessary

No one is getting out unscathed, but some of the privileged folks will come out cleaner on the other side. We know their goal -- a theocratic white ethnostate. Therefore it is the duty of the privileged to shield the unprivileged. Stand in the way! The lower class can only rise when truly united!

As we predicted: Joe Kent is planning to use the law enforcement apparatus to imprison Black activists and antifascists as “terrorists,” essentially unleashing the far-right terrorists of the Proud Boys by looking the other way as they get the green light. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's easy to advocate community defense when it's flashy action. ComDef folks can collect their gear, their guns and their martial arts belts, that's fine. But where are you when a neighboring town is destroyed by a climate disaster? Helping clean up is also community defense. Do both--stop the LARP

There is no singular "here's what to look for to know the bad thing has started." You're in it already, right now. The best time to form a local union for community defense, whatever aesthetic that takes on for you, was yesterday. The next best time is right now. Get ahead of this thing worsening.

Let's talk about intel. Intel collection, analysis and dissemination are your most critical tool in the field. Whether you're in a peaceful protest, looking out for the safety of your neighbors, or doing spicier things, intel makes and breaks movements. Risk averse folks, this is for you. 🧵 1/8

If you fight back the bully may hurt you once, but if you don't he'll hurt you regularly.

‼️ #Bloomington #Indiana April 25th screening of the documentary “Fell in Love with Fire,” about the Chilean uprising from October 2019 to March 2020, showing how everyday people sustained 6 months of rebellion by creating extensive networks of self-determination & mutual aid.

Heads up Delray Beach! 🚨 South Florida Proud Boys will be out boot licking for billionaires this coming Saturday, April 12 at the Tesla dealership.

Community defense now! The depravity of these ghouls will not get better. It will only get more boldly cruel as they continue to push the boundaries. Stand by your friends. If you think you might have some friends that are at risk, buddy up with them. Don't let the American gestapo disappear them.

Our friends in Kentucky need critical assistance! Flood waters are damaging cities and destroying lives. Please consider donating to the following drives run by locals in some of those areas.

The Ohio and Kentucky Rivers are at historic flood levels! River cities are evacuated and there are people trapped. Levees are breaking in Indiana, and there are rural roads completely destroyed Across Kentuckiana. There is also a cold snap coming to freeze all the folks trapped out right now. 1/

Effective protest often results in state violence. That is not a reason to take half-measures. It is a reason to organize and prepare for the cost of resistance, understanding that inaction or collaboration will only result in a much worse fate.

Unions are easy to form. Grab some friends, decide on an organizational goal, and start doing things that will further that goal. Boom, union. It doesn't have to start as some big blown up org with hundreds of members. Every cool union you know started with a single small group. 1/

“Whatever power they acquire, whatever technology they employ, they make mistakes, they overlook vulnerabilities.”

We have much work to do. Some things you can do in the crumbles: 1. Check on your friends, especially the vulnerable. Support them. 2. Scared? Do it afraid. Stand up, speak out, be loud. 3. Organize! Form affinity groups and do good works together. 4. Use radical optimism. Hope makes motion!

The United States has been circling the whirlpool for a while now. Today it dove into the vortex and will be quickly swallowed by the sea. This was by design. They wanted the suffering, so they could break the world and buy up all the rubble. Build dual power and prefiguration now! Time is short

First classes went great! Looking forward to the next ones! Next on the docket: 1. Firearm Fundamentals 2. Intro to Ham radio 3. Self Defense Basics 4. Intermediate Land Nav We will not be making instructors or locations public. For inquiries please email: [email protected]

It is not a joke. It has never been a joke. It is not alarmist-- Fascists ARE training to maim or kill you. If you're not training regularly in self defense as an individual and as part of teams, you're way behind. www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
