Unequivocal solidarity with Mark Bray.

Trump Is Lying About Antifa to Justify His Authoritarian Crackdown Too easily dismissed as hyperbole, the Antifa myth is being used as a weapon to destroy domestic opposition.

“The Antifa myth is a wedge that will be used to destroy free speech…. Democrats need to rally Americans with the argument that the threat to Antifa will one day be used against anyone who speaks out against Trump” - @jeetheer.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/poli...

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

While you’re struggling paycheck to paycheck to make ends meet and buried under medical debt, take comfort in this

“An extrajudicial black site”

The idea that ICE is taking dangerous people off the streets to keep us safe is false. They are abducting ordinary nice people to concentration camps and disappearing them. It’s ethnic cleansing. It is all of our responsibility to oppose this fascist regime and do what we can to stop this evil.

To be a Trump supporter this week means to believe that what the Zionists have done to Gaza is not genocide but that Portland, Oregon has been “war ravaged” by “Antifa”.

This is not leadership or strength. This is fascist clownery.

Trump’s Idea of the Criminal Left Is a Fiction. A Coordinated Defense Against His Fascism Shouldn’t Be. Trump's vision of a George Soros-backed criminal network is a fantasy. A coordinated defense against fascism shouldn’t be.

In light of Trump's predictably unhinged "domestic terrorism" memo / homage to McCarthyism, reposting my latest column @theintercept.com: theintercept.com/2025/09/19/t...

Screenshot of flyer and link to Google doc.

Right-wing media claiming that flyers for the "John Brown Club" were put up at the Georgetown university campus. The flyers were first reported by local Republican organizers and only feature a QR code which goes to a Google doc.

Seems likely that this a right-wing troll and doxx/disinfo campaign.

The opposite of affirmative action and DEI is not meritocracy. The opposite of these things is the good ol' boys network of underqualified fools. Look at the qualifications of Trump's cabinet compared to previous cabinets. The anti-DEI people have given us the least qualified leaders of my lifetime.

Everything Trump Says About Antifa is Wrong Last week, CNN reported that Donald Trump announced plans to designate antifa as a “major terrorist organization,” describing it as a “sick, dangerous, radical left disaster” and calling for investiga...

Last week Trump announced plans to designate antifa as a “major terrorist organization". Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order making that designation official. We know first-hand that nearly everything Trump says about antifa is wrong. Read our article:

Our Humanity Is Not up for Debate “The proper way to respond” to white supremacist fascism “is to have a backbone,” says Tariq Khan, a historian and lecturer at Yale University, in

Hedges behaved as a counterinsurgent during Occupy, for which David Graeber rightly challenged him. Now in this moment of authoritarian Trump regime counterinsurgency, Hedges is at it again. He has no excuse not to know better.

What you added was the spin Kyle’s handlers put on it after the fact and you want us to uncritically accept that ridiculous spin. Even if that were true, it still does not make anything I posted “false”. You don’t deal in facts. You deal in spin.

You added nothing of worth to my post. Nothing you’ve presented contradicts anything I posted, and certainly does not prove my post “false.” You are attempting, unsuccessfully, to spread a false narrative.

What’s false? The text you posted with no attribution does not contradict anything I said.

Snopes fact checked the claim that Charlie Kirk championed the killer Kyle Rittenhouse (pictured here wearing a vulgar T-shirt whilst hanging out with members of the violent fascist gang the Proud Boys at a Wisconsin bar) as a “hero to millions.” It turns out the claim is 100% true.

Our colleagues at Municipal Adhesives are running a "MAJOR" 50% off sale on "ANTIFA" stickers.

Bring the walls to life!

From their announcement:

"We are pleased to inform our many Super Soldiers that we are designating ANTIFA STICKERS & STENCILS ON A MAJOR DISCOUNT."

Trump’s chaotic, maximalist crackdown strategy targets liberals alongside leftists as an imagined whole. There’s no promise that establishment liberal figures & organizations will act with the integrity and solidarity it takes to rebuff such attacks @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/09/19/t...

Headline from the New York Times, 1939: “Goebbels ends careers of five “Aryan“ actors who made witticisms about the Nazi regime.”

The proper response to the far right’s attempts to bully us out of saying certain things is to say those very things even louder and clearer.

I went on Rising Up With Sonali to discuss recent events: risingupwithsonali.com/how-to-respo...

The Army collected data (leaked to the WP) about the Trump regime's federal takeover of D.C. The data showed that the public viewed it as “leveraging fear” and driving a “wedge between citizens and the military,” and that it left many troops and veterans feeling a sense of "shame" and "alarm".

The anti-DEI and anti-affirmative action people now in control of all three branches of the federal government have given us the most unqualified cabinet, most unqualified military leadership, and most unqualified federal agency directors of my lifetime. They have disproven their own arguments.

A racist mob menacing refugee children and our town. Read this and see what lies ahead, unless we act now | Anonymous Last weekend, it fell to ordinary people to oppose the far right and others. The national toxicity has reached us: a kind of hate I haven’t seen since the 1970s

Texas State fires professor accused of trying to incite political violence in video Thomas Alter is the second professor in the state to be terminated for allegedly violating university policy after a video was posted on social media.

Right-wing rhetoric about “free speech” has always been a Trojan Horse for fascism. Once empowered, the right uses coercion and lies to stomp out opposing viewpoints. The right does not want ideological diversity. They want universities to function as far-right indoctrination centers.

The Supreme Court Just Let ICE Detain Americans Based on Race Indiscriminate immigration raids will expand across the country with the implicit blessing of the conservative supermajority.

The right-wing extremist SCOTUS further enabling the fascist Trump regime’s ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign.
