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!

Handed out all of our socks, gloves, & hats & most of our handwarmers! Taught some folks about Narcan who took some to have on hand for friends.
We’ll be back out after the new year — help us restock & get high quality waterproof gloves!

🤬Hungarians' anger was undeniable as they chanted “it’s all over” for the regime, echoing opposition leader Péter Magyar, outside PM Viktor Orbán’s Buda castle office at a weekend anti-gov't protest sparked by child-abuse scandals ignored or covered up by authorities. More videos in the thread.👇

💪 Tens of thousands are marching from downtown Budapest across the Chain Bridge and tunnel up to Buda Castle, where Viktor Orbán’s office is. Opposition leader Péter Magyar called the march to protest child abuse by Hungarian authorities—and the government’s inaction.

Mental health counselor Garrett Michael Berna has been identified as a member of the white supremacist groups Patriot Front and New England Active Club.
I allege that Garrett Michael Berna, a licensed mental health counselor out of West Brookfield MA & practicing in Newton MA (lic. #LMHC10304), is dead certainly a member of Patriot Front and the New England Active Club. He's likely been active with both organizations since April 2024, if not before.

This Day in History
On the night of 10 to 11 December 2013, security forces tried to clear Euromaidan using Berkut riot forces.
As the assault began, the bells of St Michael's Monastery rang for the first time since the 13th century, calling people to defend the square and halt the crackdown.

It's not only criminalised to express any form of dissent in Belarus. Showing solidarity with political prisoners is also punishable, even when it comes from their parents.
In the following three examples, you will learn how this form of repression looks like in the case of anarchists.
