NLG National Executive Committee member, Zane McNeill, wrote about the recent attempts by the Trump administration to target wholesale ideologies, harking back to McCarthy-era politics. https://nonprofitquarterly.org/lessons-of-resistance-how-activists-navigated-hoovers-fbi-and-political-scrutiny/

“The FBI gained access to conversations in a ‘courtwatch’ Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.”

Trying to find ways to feel like myself again while I shake off the effects of the job I quit. Today’s supporter package from @pmpress.bsky.social definitely helps! ❤️

"Our very existence challenges [..] fascism." "We challenge the authoritarian myth that people are born into fixed categories and exist only to reproduce for the nationalist state." "We are powerful, beautiful, and free — and that terrifies them." #USA #Healthcare #Sports #Suicide #Media

"The president declaring a domestic ideology or movement ‘terrorists’ is going to encourage both federal and local law enforcement to treat them as such" Thanks @npquarterly.bsky.social for speaking with us about Trump's war on 'antifa' nonprofitquarterly.org/lessons-of-r...

This Trans Day of Remembrance, join L4GG as we mourn for the dead and fight fiercely for the living by taking three critical actions 🧵 Together, we can save lives and prevent yet more grief in the coming year. Keep reading to take action.

Efforts are underway to erase us from history, re-pathologize our identities, and push us out of public life in an attempt to justify the surveillance and criminalization of our communities. But we will not stop fighting. Our very existence challenges the fundamental tenets of fascism.

Trump would really hate it if you sent this article to your friends at progressive foundations.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that Muslims are a “threat to our freedom” on Tuesday as he targeted the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the U.S. with a foreign terrorist organization label in an escalation of a movement of anti-Muslim hate in the state.

Embracing queer resistance and anti-authoritarian actions is essential for challenging oppressive systems. Let's dismantle norms and structures through radical solidarity. #QueerResistance #Anarchy @workingclasshistory.com https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e112-radical-reads-be-gay-do-crime/

My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-slap...

When governments control people’s bodies, they consolidate power. In a new piece, L4GG’s Zane McNeill explores how attacks on reproductive + LGBTQ rights follow the authoritarian playbook—and what that means for democracy. 🔗 Read more: L4GG.org/ReproBlog

Preparing for the Domestic Terrorism Apparatus, Hosted by NLGR Monday, November 10, 2025, 8:00pm ET / 7:00pm CT / 6:00pm MT / 5:00pm PT As the administration moves to expand its domestic terrorism framework, new policies and rhetoric are raising alarm among social justice advocates.

"Antifa materials" is intended to sound sinister but the government is talking about ESSAYS. If you read literature the regime disapproves of, you might be a terrorist, too.

“People should care that there are human beings who have lived alone in a cell for over two decades — people we’ve never heard of and who will never be released,” says Eric King.

"[A]ll our revolts and rebellions should aim for that: undermine the prison, but strengthen yourself." "[T]here are no political prisoner points for suffering more." "We win when we make it out alive with our ethics and personalities intact." #Colorado #USA #Incarceration
