If you're in the U.S. and haven't gotten the 2025-2026 COVID vaccine yet, experts are recommending you schedule it NOW before Friday. If you live in a Republican-controlled state, I STRONGLY recommend you get it before Friday if you can, before the ACIP restricts access. #COVID19

If you feel like there’s nothing you can do to stop all of this, start by refusing to participate in fascist demands. And don’t ever justify the behaviors of people who capitulate. They can’t do any of this without cooperation. The main thing most people need to do is just refuse that cooperation.

I know a lot of people are being doxxed by the far right because they were too honest in public about how they felt about the Kirk assassination. I wrote a quick guide about the first things you should do if this is happening to you. (Not paywalled) www.patreon.com/posts/85220523

A big part of why white centrist journos can call this a tragedy with a straight face is because to them it is; Kirk etc pose no viable harm to them, their interests, their fetishisation of 'robust debate' and both sidesery - this violence thus feels realer than the violence Kirk's views embodied

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

every troop that deploys against civilians must face the tribunals. Disobey your nazi orders if you think you're so fucking brave

We need to talk about something very important. There is a myth spreading in both irl and online left and progressive spaces that is doing real, material, lasting harm. THREAD.

Always remember: pay enough attention to what's happening in the world so that you can get scared. Only the scared can be brave, and everything is better when you're brave.

"...if LA is a testing ground for mass deportation, it’s also a place to see how the resistance is evolving. The movement against ICE in Los Angeles — one that is starting to take root, in different forms, in cities like New York — is part of a growing shift from symbolic protest to direct action."

“If we want our direct action movement to continue, it is imperative we start tightening our security and taking ourselves more seriously. Now is the time to adopt a security culture. Good security is certainly the strongest defense we have.”

This is the best forensic analysis of ICE raid tactics in LA that I've ever read. Incredible work by @koltai.bsky.social, @poojachaudhuri.bsky.social, Youri van der Weide, @msramalho.bsky.social of @bellingcat.com.

There were millions of adults on US streets in '03 protesting the invasion plans. Largest protests in *world history*. Politicians on both sides voted to invade anyway & the movement had no plan to escalate until demands were met. Dems turned the movement into a PAC and Bush got re-elected. 🤷🏻‍♂️

FYI, the colored smoke that ICE / BORTAC agents use when they riot is a toxic smoke that contains heavy metals and lead salts, known to cause cancer and birth defects. It doesn't cause the immediate burning that tear gas does, but do not breathe this shit in if you can avoid it, esp. repeatedly.

The Dugout is a solid podcast featuring Prince Shakur. IGD just recommended their LA ICE Protests/Riots episode overnight, that will be linked next. That said, it's mind blowing that Prince Shakur managed to get another important and timely piece of media out today. Don't sleep on this:

NEW: A far-right ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag was flown above the Small Business Administration's headquarters in DC. The flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists, was waved by January 6 rioters and spotted at Justice Samuel Alito's vacation home. from me and @telliotter.bsky.social:

Really good to see that other people are starting to talk about the resist networks and the fact that much of it is a massive network of interconnected and coordinated grifters like Muller she wrote, or conspiracy theorists like Jack Hopkins or Jim stewartson. It’s the blue anon ecosystem.

reminder that every new essay i publish has an audio counterpart on the butch anarchy youtube and podcast :)

The great secret of the state is laid bare: there never was a difference between the secret police dragging someone away and a group of random paramilitaries doing the same thing Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Cops are using Flock and license plate reader technology to target immigration activists. Also recently revealed, ALPR data is being shared with ICE for immigration enforcement and with other cops to locate abortions seekers. www.404media.co/california-c...

You can support Arturo by writing, donating to his commissary and reach out to the DA before he’s charged Arturo Gamboa 457904 c/o Salt Lake County Metro Jail 3415 S. 900 W.Salt Lake City, UT 84119 Venmo: A_G_Commissary DA: www.saltlakecounty.gov/contact-dire...

Don't let the discussion about whether what ICE is doing is legal or not distract you from the broader point that ICE is a moral abomination. Civil disobedience is also the correct response to bad law.

"Arturo Roberto Gamboa was lawfully exercising his 2nd amendment rights as he had before when security guards got spooked by him. These un-named shooters shot Arturo Roberto Gamboa and shot and killed Arthur Folasa Ah Loo." gileriodekel.com/2025/06/artu...

ICE is cocking assault rifles and pointing them at civilians. This happened in Pico Rivera this morning.

No media has pressed @mayor.lacity.gov about the Olympics being a "national special security event" and the city's obligations to collaborate with DHS / ICE / CBP. through 2028.. Almost as if they don't want you to know!

A lot of liberals are trying to ignore & obfuscate that their new favorite nonviolent activist organization is culpable for a bad shooting against a locally known SLC Latino antiracist activist, who they are now trying to railroad on murder charges for another protestor shot by a 50501 "peacekeeper"

COVID is on the rise again in California; below are some great ways to keep you and your loved ones safer.

Liberals will literally shoot a comrade in cold blood while screaming about nonviolence.

NEW—After an innocent protester was shot and killed at the Salt Lake City No Kings protest by a “safety volunteer,” @utah50501.bsky.social says they hired team of them based on “military, first responder, other relevant de-escalation experience.” Volunteer who fired gun was a vet. Full statement:

Protests against the Iraq war in 2003 mobilized millions + the war still happened. What's needed is for people to move from creating passive, viral moments, to getting involved in grassroots organizing + mass direct action. We have to be the sand in the gears grinding down the machine.

Free Arturo Gamboa!

Free Arturo Gamboa Release the name of the 50501 marshal who killed Arthur Folasa Ah Loo And fuck you!

Funny they don’t mention that the shooter was one of their own protest marshals, and that the second person shot was an antifascist who is now in jail charged with the shooting that was done by the 50501 protest marshal.

Liberals will literally shoot a comrade in cold blood while screaming about nonviolence.

Utah antiracist activists say that Gamboa (the young Venezuelan-American activist who was one of the two shooting victims) has been a fixture at local rallies, has open-carried his AR-15 before, and has never been violent. The police are charging him with homicide despite him never firing a shot.

Two days after the 50501 Utah organizers "peacemakers" fired into a crowd, killing one man and injuring another Mere HOURS after @50501movement.bsky.social called the anti-racist victim a "depraved domestic terrorist", the org now says they "do not have a complete understanding of what happened."

People who know Gamboa describe him as a "sweet kid", a drummer in a punk rock band who has attended many open-carry protests in the past. "He’s always trying to do the right thing. He would never go into a crowd of people with harm or ill intent." Gamboa from a 2021 interview with his band:

Nonviolent mass protests only work if they are sustained and not just one off every three months. If you actually want your nonviolent movement to work, you can’t go back to work on Monday. You actually have to sustain the protest for months or until you oust the fascist leader.

hopefully, yesterday’s actions are but the start of a mass movement. this is a good rundown, particularly scroll down to the section on facial recognition adding Cozca’s suggestions
