On the same day the national park service busy erasing trans people from history, HRC axed is entire trans justice initiative and laid off a bunch of amazing black and brown trans folks. Absolutely despicable, HRC showing us who they've always been. Help out here. www.gofundme.com/f/support-lg...

Thank you to everyone who donated to our member's gofundme! Everyone's contribution made a huge difference as they rebuild their life after the Eaton fire. We've ended the fundraiser, but there are still many people in need and many ways to help the community! DM us if you'd like more info.

A lot of Nazi/white nationalist groups, orgs and religions will be using the crisis to recruit as they always have. Stay alert

We're still out here training folks! We welcome all (non-fash) folks interested in learning how to shoot pistols, shotguns, AKs and ARs. We start with a Firearms 101 dry fire class (no ammo), followed by a trip to the range. Reach out if you live in the area and would like to join us!

On this day in 1859, militant abolitionist John Brown was executed on charges of treason, murder and insurrection. The day of his execution, 16 months before the outbreak of the Civil War, John Brown prophetically wrote, “The crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.”

International Transgender Day of Remembrance has been observed annually from its inception on November 20 to memorialize those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia. The day was founded to draw attention to the continued violence directed toward transgender people.

Let's talk about how to report on right-wingers without amplifying their hateful rhetoric. Far-right extremists count on YOU to spread their messages for them. Here's a thread of resources. 1) The Oxygen of Amplification: Better Practices for Reporting on Extremists, Antagonists, and Manipulators

On the latest Tiger Bloc podcast, Upstate NY SRA implied that JBGC's are militias. JBGCs are decentralized, so blanket statements regarding the clubs are disinformation. Our club’s mission is to “demystify firearms to empower the opressed.” We're not a militia. Now's the time to unite, not divide.

We hit the desert this past weekend to train with several Southern California community defense groups. Forging alliances and coalition building with fellow leftists will be critical in the coming months. We keep focus on what unites us. We keep us safe!

We love this @yesmagazine article on comdef activism. It's a solid rec for anyone interested in the history and present of leftist community self-defense. www.yesmagazine.org/social-justi...

Day 2 of 40 Ways to Fight Fascists! (a collaboration w/ Spencer Sunshine) 2. Find collaborators! While there are national organizations that look at Far Right organizing, they can't track everything that's going on in each community. That's where you come in! More below... 🧵

Thank you new folks for following us! Anyone who wants to learn about firearms please DM us. Also want to introduce our close allies The Lavender Guard. Check them out! @lavenderguard.bsky.social

A top priority for activists organizing right now should probably focus on how we can protect Immigrants from arrest, imprisonment, and deportation.

No safe space for fascists.

Feels like a good time to repost this

Like any decent person I enjoy a solid Richard Spencer getting punched in the face video set to Yakkity Sax and played on loop, HOWEVER This is one of the primary reasons I am always suspicious of people who think punching Nazis in the street is the most important part of antifascist praxis

Bad news, friends. Meta is nuking antifascist accounts, so we've lost our Instagram, which was our main source of support for our relief distro. Terrible timing since we're gearing up for winter! Can you help us get eyes on these links? It'd be big for us! msha.ke/jbmutualaid

Media response to a white nationalist embedding within Trump's campaign as #Ohio schools evacuate due to bomb threats shows that the only thing they've learned from 2016 is to treat these people as just a part of the MAGA coalition + that actual threats to the poor, especially Black, don't matter.
