Chris Tough (Himwho) says his job has put him on paid leave as they investigate his hate rally in Coos Bay. Tough was trespassed & one of his mates (Peter Patrick) donned a nazi siege mask to frighten the queer families in attendance.

The number of rich "westerners" vacationing oe
or living in wealthy Gulf countries hopping on the internet to complain about how this "isn't supposed to happen to us!" Bitching about canceled travel plans and excursions like your little holiday matters more than the people of Iran.

Le Royaume-Uni, la France et l'Allemagne ont annoncΓ© leur intention de mener potentiellement des frappes contre l'Iran afin de dΓ©truire ses capacitΓ©s de lancement de missiles et de drones si les forces iraniennes persistent dans leurs attaques.

The Horst Wessel Memorial was a key part of the Nazi "cult of martyrs," used to justify violent action against political opponents. The "Horst Wessel Lied" was the official anthem of the Nazi Party, & the memorial ceremonies were designed to mimic religious rites, with Wessel as a secular saint.

"We Know that the Kremlin is Very Worried" – Interview with Estonian Foreign Intelligence's Top Analyst - VSquare.org If at one moment Russian people have to choose between the television and the refrigerator, the refrigerator will win. If there is nothing left in the refrigerator, people might suddenly come to the streets and that is the end of this regime.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ͺ Estonian intelligence's top Russia analyst Andres Vosman warns that Moscow obsessively monitors its society, dreads fallout from returning war veterans, and faces economic stagnation and dependence on Chinaβ€”making Russia unstable and unpredictable.

Transpose this 1970 campaign speech by antisemitic white supremacist Asa Carter into the voice of JD Vance or Elon Musk or Matt Walsh and tell me if you could tell the difference.

How a Mutual Aid Network Built Direct Support for Migrants Across Minnesota β€œThere’s nothing like getting to give someone their rent money,” says mutual aid organizer Ashley Fairbanks.

"As businesses in immigrant corridors shuttered, families sheltered in place, and ICE activity intensified, organizers, faith groups, mutual aid networks, and everyday residents began building new forms of support in real time." truthout.org/articles/how...

Anyway, there's no place for "Workshops for Gaza" in radical spaces. The bare minimum threshold for antifascism is recognizing we are in a Three Way Fight, and the enemy of our enemy is still often a fascist monster.

β€œForce is lawful, under the UN charter, only in self-defence against an imminent attack or with security council approval. Neither condition has been met. There was no evidence of an β€œinstant, overwhelming” Iranian attack being prepared.” (continued)

The Money and Industry Turning Local Cops into Peeping Toms Between vehicle tracking, camera networks, drone use, and AI, local cops have become the ever-watching hall monitors of modern life. Private industry is reaping the profits.

A great blog post!

"those concerned about #surveillance technology invading their private lives should not focus solely on #Flock. The network of technology companies and grants that make more products like Flock available still exists, and we must question and dissolve these programs themselves."

Inside El Refugio and the Stewart ICE Detention Center Editor Karina Teichert visits El Refugio, a hospitality house for those whose loved ones are held at the ICE Stewart Detention Center.

Yi Hui Xu had his last court hearing in March 2025. He hasn’t heard anything since. He says he just wants to go home, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) won’t let him. Maybe because he called them the Gestapo to their faces, he jokes.

He looks exhausted.
