For people living outside the United States that are horrified by what has happened to our country, there are things you can do to help support us and #resist neo-fascism in America.

First, it's important to understand a bit more about how we got into this mess:

Always remembered on 4th October. The anniversary of the Battle Of Cable Street.
In October 1936 Sir Oswald Mosley planned a highly provocative march of his British Union of Fascist blackshirts through predominantly Jewish Stepney. East Enders, Catholic dockers alongside Jewish tailors,

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

This is a crime. They are violating her civil rights and those of the person they are trying to arrest. They obviously do not have a warrant or they would say so. When this is over they need to be in jail.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

What we just saw: state police not only assisting federal agents with crowd control out here, but also protester arrests.

All morning, this has been a nonviolent demonstration. Have not seen a single crime from this crowd (not that that would excuse the brutality).

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

📢 Israel has closed down or left unresolved 88% of alleged war crimes or abuse cases, according to a new report.

The monitoring group warns that this is building a pattern of impunity, shielding violence from accountability and denying justice to victims. ⚖️

One thing that’s especially disturbing about Trump deploying the National Guard to DC is that he’s specifically chosen to mobilize units from Red States.

This is eerily reminiscent to an authoritarian tactic discussed by #EricaChenoweth in their book “The End of People Power”.
