We’re a shooting sports club with abolitionist values. We are not a security agency. We are not a militia.

Worse than Antifa: Inside the new breed of ultra-extremist groups dedicated to chaos, violence — and even alleged murder The far-left radical movement known as Antifa has been getting its own taste of cancel culture.

Get ready for the new wave of fascist propaganda targeting antifascist thoughts and actions. Nothing much new from trump 1, but we're starting where we left off, so let's see where this takes us.

ICE has stopped reporting number of trans people in custody Advocates say the lack of data hampers efforts to ensure people’s safety as the Trump administration ramps up immigration detentions

ICE will "no longer report the number of transgender people in their custody."

"ICE has rolled back trans care requirements in [..] detention centers and removed a 2015 memo governing how the agency treats trans migrants."

There sure are! We go where we're asked to and typically don't broadcast in advance where that's going to be as to not attract bad actors.

Another year on the books at Naugatuck Rainbow Festival. Thanks as always to the organizers for having us as well as @rijbgc.bsky.social for the assist. The dog quality was on another level.

We were over in Rhode Island for this one. Not sure if anyone did anything similar here.

A couple of us got to check out the Fuck the Fourth show with @rijbgc.bsky.social this weekend. You love to see anti-fascist music alive and well.

5 RIJBGC community defenders, most partly out of frame, crouch around a chalk slogan on blacktop reading:

FUCK ICE

The A in GAY is the anarchy A and FUCK is underlined

We were pleased and proud to be asked to keep an eye out at Sista Fire & DTPOC's 2 Queer 4 Fear event today! It was a wonderful event!

We keep us safe!

Obviously we like guns fine. What we don't like is Colt arming a genocide in Palestine for blood money. Very honored to stand with the CT Palestine Solidarity Coalition outside the Colt plant today.

Happy Birthday to our namesake John Brown! On the 225th anniversary of his birth let us all reflect on his example of doing the right thing even if it's an unpopular or dangerous thing to do. His story is relevant at all times; not least of which now. His soul goes marching on.

Thank you for reaching out about this. I'm forwarding this to our MA chapter now to figure out how we can respond.

Because a real cool guy (/s) who won't pay child support but will post about genociding the libs said he'd be there, naturally we had to be there, too. Of course, for all his calls to action on Facebook, dude had no friends show up, which is tragic, because we really liked the people of New Milford.

We'd only heard about the anti-LGBTQ+ flyering of Deep River Public Library's speaking event featuring Jillian Celentano a couple hours beforehand, but we made it out nonetheless! As usual, the solidarity of the community was stronger than the fascists' hate. It was a joy to hang out with everyone.

Always an honor and privilege to stand in the community with our comrades. Thank you, people of Providence, for having us in your lovely city.

It's telling that while the local nazis can't help but all stab eachother, these three states of JBGC chapters just keep coming together as friends.

Shoutout to the Norwich city workers who got all those swastikas covered up this morning. That's an important service to the community.

Sorry. I misunderstood your post to mean that we follow that account. It appears we don't. Either way, good vigilance.

Yikes! Thanks for the tip. Unfollowing them now.

We don't. We almost never announce ahead of time where we'll be for various reasons including safety, but if you end up at any leftist protest demonstrations or Pride events you'll likely see us eventually.

Happy to announce that after tying up some loose ends we are finally and officially off of the bad website formerly known as Twitter! If you see anyone over there claiming to be our chapter, that ain't us.
