This Pride month, why not take the opportunity to learn about LGBT+ history? In our LGBT+ history podcast series we have episodes on the Stonewall Rebellion, @LGSMpride and queer sex workers who unionised. Listen on… workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/
Yo yo yo! This July 25, support antifascist prisoners! Lots of ways to engage--from hosting a benefit to writing letters from wherever you are!
Let's make sure the folx from the front lines know that we have their backs!

this isn't news to anyone, but twitter is a fucking cesspool.
Is the federal appeal going to be 'it can't be selective prosecution because we've unsuccessfully tried locking up anarchists with this same law for years'?
They re-arrested Rundo this weekend because the 9th circuit granted the prosecution's motion to keep him locked up while they appeal the chud judge's motion to dismiss. They're def trying to make it work. Not quite sure if this answers your question.
The idea that the state is selective prosecuting Nazis rather than the radical left/antifa is an absurdity. Feds have been trying to get anarchists for years on "interstate rioting" and have not been successful. They're trying to make it work w/ Rob Rundo for precedent.

Screenshot from Chris Mathias Twitter account, text says: "The tournament organizers told me they have canceled Pistolis' registration and refunded him his money. It's unclear if the rest of the neo-Nazis who said they were attending are still going to show up. Although their names are not registered, they could be using pseudonyms."
Per a journo on Twitter, it looks like the unwitting venue canceled on FUJI. Some of these scum used their real names to register and some did not. FUJI booted one registrant, Vasilis Pistolis, a former Marine who went to Unite the Right in Cville to "crack skulls."

If you live in NC, please respectfully alert the unwitting venue, the T.C. Roberson High School in Asheville, that fascists are planning to come onto their grounds and they need to protect their school and community.

FUJI BJJ now knows of their association with "Patria Gloria," Paul Gancarz, and Ian Elliott and isn't doing shit. Let them know you want that to change.

Picture of Ian Elliott and Paul Gancarz, with a FUJI BJJ coordinator named Tim Morthland at the FUJI Allentown Winter Championships, where Paul and Ian competed.
Is FUJI's inaction because one of FUJI's coordinators, Tim Morthland, knows Ian Elliott and Paul Gancarz? Below photo was taken at the FUJI Allentown competition. Is FUJI willing to ruin its reputation as these two fascists try to overrun FUJI competitions with more fascists?
FUJI BJJ has said nothing about Patriot Front members competing at FUJI events--& these fascists are picking up on FUJI’s inaction. Ian has been bragging on Telegram about attending a FUJI event on February 10th in Asheville, NC.

Heartwarming to see the goal surpassed for these folks!
Queens DA stands in front of weapons collected in a raid of two brothers who were arrested for supposedly manufacturing "ghost" guns and homemade explosives.
Gadsden flag on far right of table.
Punisher patch on tactic vest.
"Are You Threatening Me?" Gadsden flag featuring Beavis from MTV with several guns.
Major news outlets reporting uncritically seemingly false claim from the Queens DA that two brothers arrested for manufacturing "ghost" guns + homemade explosives were also found with "anarchist propaganda." Photos instead show a "Punisher" patch + Gadsden flag, popular with the far-Right. A thread.
Picture of Kieran and some Nazis working on a building on the Nazi compound in Tennessee. One of the Nazis is Brian Culpepper, a longtime scumbag in the NSM. Kieran is topless, wearing sunglasses, holding weights, and looking like a dork.
Based on the reporting by Atlanta Antifascists, It also appears that Patriot Front member Kieran Morris has moved into this nest of fash! Kieran used to live in Poughkeepsie, NY and moved away sometime after we exposed him in March 2020.

Huge update from Atlanta Antifascists! They reveal the location of a 122-acre white supremacist compound in Tellico Plains, eastern #Tennessee. The racist/fascist organization Patriot Front used this land for a training event, and several PF members live there.

From Bogota SHARP: "On Thursday, January 18, at the Bogotá, Colombia concert of the 80s Punk band from Spain, Los Ilegales, there were some fucking bonehead Nazis at the event. As soon as they saw us, they attacked because it was 6 of them, and 4 of us. One of them took out a knife, and we obviously defended ourselves. They lost the scuffle and were laid out on the floor when the police came, so we left. The next day, the police came to our homes and took us into custody. They’re pressing charges against us, and thus we had to hire legal representation which is difficult for us to pay due to the harsh economic situation in Colombia. However, if we’re not properly represented for these charges, we could face 3-5 years in prison. The first payment for our attorney for the four of us is due on February 1st for 10 million Colombian pesos which is approximately $2,500 US. Any international solidarity will be appreciated, and never forgotten. Oi! Oi! Oi!
EMERGENCY APPEAL FOR BOGOTA ANTIFASCISTS
Support Colombia antifascists facing legal charges for defending themselves against a Nazi attack!

Big tech has learned lessons since 2016 and that lesson is to post through it. They absolutely don't give af about their role in far right radicalization.
we might be posting more here.

"Social media" is still being used to persecute and whip up hate against people--the Rohingya--who have already fled actual genocide. There is no need to debate or use theoretical arguments to disprove the billionaire chud.
www.theguardian.com/world/2024/j...
Social media is currently being used to fuel genocide. As just one example, Facebook algorithms actually promoted violence against the Rohingya and helped incite the genocide in Myanmar.

Patriot Front members, Paul Gancarz & Ian Elliott, have been competing as a barely disguised PF BJJ team "Patria Gloria."
They recently attended the FUJI Allentown Winter Championships together. ✨Fascists get the boot.✨

we all know 2024 is going be filled with bullshit. any response to that bs requires *action*...against the acute issue of far right organizing (which looks different than it did in '20 or '16) alongside action against the long-term issue of capitalism & structural inequality. 🏴🏴
remember when chiquita banana and axe body spray were tweeting shit like "we respect the rule of law and peaceful transition of power"? lmao
REMINDER: in order to properly celebrate the solstice, you have to yeet fascists into the sun.
Over 100 people in #Portland mobilized to confront and protest a meeting held by Women’s Declaration International (WDI), a pseudo-feminist group with ties to the far-Right and former eco-radicals that is helping to write and push anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. itsgoingdown.org/portland-mob...
happy kissinger is dead day, to all who celebrate 🎉
