Fight back! This is the MO of CSPD to target activists.

In our newest article we identify NorCal Active Club member "Normie Pipeline" as Andrew Vellis. Vellis is close with Patriot Front's NorCal Network, and claims to work for Robert Rundo's company Will2Rise.

Everyone who cares about abolishing ICE needs to read up on the Prairieland case.

This is the playbook for repression the Trump regime will use to push back against popular resistance to it's ethnic cleansing campaign.

Shooting dozens of rounds of tear gas and using pepper spray and their batons, the SPVM violently pushed back more than a thousand people who showed up this afternoon to send a message to GardaWorld over their contracts with ICE at their offices and training center in Ville Saint-Laurent. (thread)

Across Pueblo and Pueblo County, students are walking out in protest to ICE practices across the United States.

Pueblo students now join countless others who have done the same at the corner of Highway 50 and Baltimore.

A whole announcement for "potentially violating" law. No evidence that any law has been broken, just "potentially."

This is an ideological attack on the First Amendment to protect neo-Nazis.

Not a lawyer but that probably wouldn't hold up in court. It could be a fun way to keep the blockade going though.

I promise you that the vast majority of people setting up blockades today know this.

Many people are willing to take risks.

Again, this is advising people of their legal rights. It is not tactical advise.

Someone telling you "it's illegal to blockade a road" is not the same statement as "you should not blockade a road."

This doesn't answer the question. When did they tell anyone not to block roads? This document advises people of their 1A rights, it does not make any tactical prescriptions.

Substack is making money from newsletters promoting β€œvirulent Nazi ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism”

One, NatSocToday has 2,800 subscribers, charges $80, and describes Hitler as β€œone of the greatest men of all time”.

The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy What is violence? Who gets to define it? Does it have a place in the pursuit of liberation? This discussion never takes place on a level playing field.

What is violence?

Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you?

Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone?

Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should askβ€”

Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?

As Marimar Martinez, who survived an assassination attempt, bravely testified today, DHS, Border Patrol, and ICE agents are rampaging through US cities, brutally targeting working people and activists who stands in solidarity against their violent repression. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

β€œDon’t give Trump an excuse…”

Here we arrive at the heart of the matter. Once the illusion of civility collapses, revealing the force and fraud of power as such, new lies emerge to serve classic counterinsurgent functions. Their purpose is to dampen the immediate response to the tyrannical state, to assist it in its repression by outing militant actors, and to hinder any preparation for what is to come. β€œDon’t give them an excuse,” β€œDon’t take the bait,” β€œDon’t give them what they want” β€” all paired with new conspiracy theories about pre-planted bricks and agent provocateurs. As in 2020, these lies center around the claim that fighting back against the invading army of mercenaries will ultimately give the government an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and impose martial law. This lie appears to have integrity because the regime has repeatedly threatened to do just this. But any trace of logic just as soon evaporates. What would a sufficient β€œexcuse” look like, and why would a regime that has absolutely no compunction violating the constitution, falsifying evidence, and persecuting its opponents need such an excuse? Why not simply fabricate one? Federal officers have invaded a city and are actively assaulting and murdering civilians β€” this is already a form of martial law, just without the paperwork. More importantly, the entire goal of martial law is to enforce quiescence. Pre-emptively rewarding the regime with precisely what it wants does not so much avoid martial law as make it unnecessary. If people continue to refuse to be quiescent and the regime does ultimately invoke the proper normative powers to declare martial law, this will not be the fault of anyone other than the regime itself, regardless of what it chooses as a trigger.

Lies You Will Be Told β€’ Ill Will Phil A. Neel examines the post-2020 political order, arguing that liberal myths about law, elections, and restraint function as counterinsurgency in an era of open state violence.

You should give this a read if you can. It's a good rebuttal to the fear around the insurrection act.

FYI

1) If you snitch on the people doing spicier direct action you don't win over normies but destroy a protest movement.

2) There are degrees and directions of privacy. A signal chat that the feds are 30% likely to get in and chuds are 10% likely to get in is more valuable than 100% exposed.
