I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings

A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Given ICE’s violent, impunity-drenched core, at a moment when the Trump regime is leaning heavily into a vision of dominance grounded in aggression and lawlessness, such a killing (certainly not ICE's first) was all but inevitable. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/01/07/i...

This Isn’t the First Killing by ICE — and It Won’t Be the Last

ICE shot a woman point-blank in Minneapolis. The agency’s raids and impunity were always going to lead to death.

On Nov. 18, dozens of community members were alerted to an immigration raid at a warehouse in St. Paul. Within minutes of federal agents with ICE, the DEA and FBI arriving at the workplace, a rapid response network mobilized to confront the agents. A week later, a rally denounced the raid.

Despite what you may hear, antifa supersoldiers are not running Portland. (Unfortunately.)

For @thebaffler.com, I wrote about Trump's war on the left, NSPM-7, and his administration's new attempts to mobilize the ressentiment of its supporters. thebaffler.com/latest/phant...

Hi! Thank you. I’m not sure exactly where you can get the English-language edition over there but maybe some online booksellers will ship internationally?

The far-right party Vox is imitating Trump by trying to declare ‘antifa’ a terrorist organization in Spain.

💢 Vox copia la estrategia de Trump y lleva al Congreso la ilegalización del "movimiento Antifa" y su inclusión en la lista terrorista europea.

Mark Bray @mark-bray.bsky.social · Dec 11

Throughout this entire ‘antifa’ red scare MAGA has consistently spoken about this alleged terrorist threat as if they simultaneously know a lot about it but also as if they’re awaiting a full report that will never come.

It’s obviously a strategy to seem knowledgeable without having to back it up.

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?
