Welp, now seems a good a time as any to unequivocally state that I am an anti-fascist and that I oppose any form of authoritarianism from the right, left, or center.
We cannot allow supposed threats of being labeled as terrorists cow us into silence!

Massive thread of Nazi faces 👇

Last week, I broke the story of how a Russian street fight promotion expanded into the US with help of neo-nazis from the Active Club network & Patriot Front.

Streets Fight Club (SFC) has promoted no-rules, bare-knuckle fights on Instagram & YouTube while raising funds for Russia’s war on Ukraine.

It's now October 20th, and ICE is still riding in cars with DC MPD.

How to Join ICE

theonion.com/how-to-join-...

STEP 1
Be born with something just…missing

STEP 2
Try deporting a few neighbors without the constitutional authority to do so, to see if it’s for you

STEP 3
Unlearn any secondary languages you may know

STEP 4
If filling out the application form presents a challenge, candidates may instead demonstrate how hard they can punch a dog

Literal scholars from fucking Israel say that the country is committing genocide, and this rando comes out and says "um akshually..."

Daniel R. Jarosak @drjarosak.bsky.social · 1d

Oh my god bro, come on.
Are we really going to split hairs here??
Why can't mainstream media just come out and say 🇮🇱 is committing a genocide in Gaza???

Excited to see the piece I helped write last year for Lossi 36 about the 1924 attempted coup in 🇪🇪 be republished by @deepbaltic.bsky.social!

When Estonia Stood Firm: Remembering the 1924 Communist Coup

The plan was nothing short of audacious, and envisaged coordinated attacks in Tallinn, with additional riots planned in Tartu, Narva, and other major cities

Up to some scary anteefa anarchy shenanigans!

I guess I was naive in thinking that this incredibly flawed and unfair ceasefire would at least bring a longterm end to overt attacks on Gaza.

It's hard to keep up.

RIP to @igd.bsky.social. Thank you for being documentarians of activism and anti-fascist actions for a solid decade. May we learn from the stories you've shared, and may new creative life carry on that legacy. You guys were real ones.

There is no reason to believe that Trump and the Republicans will not try and outwardly rig the 2026 midterms. B/w the indictments of political foes and the pardoning of allies, any veneer of an independent and fair judicial system has been washed away.

Our friends at HIPS do incredible work providing harm reduction supplies, outreach, & housing support to our neighbors in DC.

They could use some help stocking hygiene supplies for their outreach team!

This insane guitar playthrough of Ulcerate's Cutting the Throat of God illustrates why this was my favorite metal album from last year. As a (former) bassist, even I admit that the guitar work steals the show for this LP.

South Africa were banned from Sporting events due to apartheid and yet here we are in 2025 saying “its a disgrace” to ban Macabi Tel Aviv whose country are committing genocide. Plus the fact they are violent thugs.
