Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

acrossfrontlines.org/protestsafety provides key safety points to remember this Saturday: • How to prepare before a protest • How to stay safe during a protest • Ways to provide care after a protest • Know your rights at a protest • Dealing with tear gas + pepper spray 🙏 @kalamendoza.bsky.social

Need a quick refresher some some protest safety basics? I got you. We keep us safe. acrossfrontlines.org/protestsafety

“It’s a form of resistance that requires us to put aside ego, and the need for personal gratification, to become a node in a living network of care, support, and defense.”

Some people might laugh but there's something actually important in this as I have heard others talk about how a fear of dying is palpable among fascists. They carry hell with them in real life.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

I read this myself, I never miss a post even if it takes me a bit, but I've also found it valuable to send this specific one to other folks in recent days.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

CHICAGO: REBUILD is providing therapy to folks detained by ICE. Please feel free to let people know. findmeatherapist.org

Free speech? What’s that?

DHS is repelling from helicopters into apartment buildings to raid them and zip tie children in the middle of the night while saying "fuck them kids." They're shooting at people on the streets and lying about it. This is a hostile occupying force that is a threat to everyone's safety.

Pick one or two lanes and keep at it. You are one person and cannot do everything or take 10 actions a day.

“And in this respect, I’m coming to understand the AI hype machine as part and parcel of the fascistic project. That’s not an analogy. I’m not saying AI is similar to fascism, or parallel to it. I’m saying AI is fascism.”

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

RTing because at no point this week did I see this reported on. The powers at be want us to feel alone and isolated. You are not.

It really can not be emphasized enough that "exaggerating the danger of the left" is a key, central tactic of aspiring fascists. Look back at every country that slid into authoritarianism & you'll find a campaign like this preceding it. Every time. It's part of the script.

In a rare move, members of the press have organized a rally in protest against rising repression following the arrest of *yet another* NY-based photojournalist for documenting the aftermath of a protest event. 3pm - Foley Square - 10/1 #JournalismIsNotACrime

Long before this deal, I recommended that users audit their TikTok use. Oracle had already started hosting U.S. TT user data on its servers a while back. I do not doubt that the platform will be further farmed for user data without consideration or consent. Always learn more at liberationtoolbox.io

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

#OtD 25 Sep 1903 abstract expressionist artist and anarchist Mark Rothko was born in a working-class, Jewish town in what is now Latvia. Moving to the US, he got involved in radical politics, including attending @IWW meetings stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9785...

While some boycotts can be about accountability, these boycotts now can end Empire if we are dedicated. Don’t stop boycotting.

A reminder, when enough of us boycott, it works, and can work quickly even. It is a spectacular example of the power of organizing. Yes, we can bring corporations to their ruin when we act together. Also, there is no need stop boycotting when the corporations are rotten at the core.

🧼 Combating Misinformation in the Post-Truth Reality The establishment’s megaphone is big; our coordination can be bigger, use this short routine to fight back, then invite two people to run it with you. Together we are stronger. ✊ 🔗 thelibertypear.com/2025/02/10/c...

This absolutely correct. I would add that no sentient being should take Fang seriously about ANYTHING but particularly about organizing. He doesn't know anything.

Homan would be such a easy target for an actual opposition party—the architect of a deeply unpopular program who is also cartoonishly corrupt.

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

Trump's attacks on immigrants are not new. Our Asian elders are the living proof. For descendants of people wrongfully imprisoned on Angel Island during the early 1900's and in Japanese incarceration camps during World War II, Trump's ICE raids are a painful reminder that our work isn't done. ⬇️

I thought I’d share a few things I’ve learned over the decades that might be supportive in these pale times. We need to love, care for and protect one another more fiercely than these systems of oppression hates us. Via @futureancestors.bsky.social

NYC, if this makes you angry, come to the New Yorkers Against ICE rally on 9/25 at Foley Square!

These victories matter more than ever. “Metro reinstates two LA bus drivers who vowed to protect riders from ICE An LA County Supervisor and thousands of residents spoke out in support of the bus operators, who now have a 60-day unpaid suspension from their jobs”

The fascists have absolutely nothing to fear from National Democratic elected politicians. Nada.

Donate to mutual funds. Take a first aid course. Offer to help others with yard work or errands. Check in on your friends, family & vulnerable community members. Contact your senator. Help out at a food bank. Do not give up. The road is long & small positive actions ripple outward.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

oh good another think tank for jerks

My optimism here is limited, but I really hope centrist institutions like universities and major news organizations understand that the plan is for the govt to dismantle them. They do not care if you fire your columnists or discipline staff for accurately quoting Kirk. They just want us all gone.

Not a headline that can appear in an actual democracy. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Just wanted to share this sacred tree and their viewing platform.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

I've been asked about this repeatedly -- fortunately, some very smart people have some answers:

today in a Chicago suburb. blocking fascism doesn’t need to look or sound however you imagined — it can be being a present, responsible neighbor willing to get in the way of business
