"corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and antifa are a cancer on our culture"

they're gonna treat you like a socialist or anarchist anyway, so if you haven't yet you may as well at least consider ditching that whole capitalism thing

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

Resistance.

A shirtless young Palestinian man stands in defiance, holding a large Palestinian flag high above his head as black smoke fills the sky behind him. His face is tense with determination, his body covered in dust and sweat. One arm stretches upward, gripping the flagpole tightly, while the other pulls back a slingshot — symbolising both resistance and resilience. Around him, a few other people, some wearing press vests and helmets, move amid the chaos, partially obscured by the thick smoke. The Palestinian flag — red, green, white, and black — waves powerfully against the dark, smoky background, becoming a striking symbol of courage, struggle, and liberation in the face of overwhelming oppression.

Is there any gay porn trope that DHS won’t lean into for ICE recruiting?

Some essential reading on gay East Germany for those who can get their hands on the book.

“States of Liberation” by Samuel Clowes Huneke: utppublishing.com/doi/book/10....

Graphic with the text "East Germany was an extraordinary place for gay people in the 1980s. In this respect, the country far outpaced not only West Germany but also most other socialist and capitalist countries in Europe.

The events of the 1980s should thus give us pause when evaluating the contours and even the definition of gay liberation. Advocates and historians alike frequently assume that the existence of a flourishing subculture and political progress go hand-in-hand. Comparing the fates of activist efforts in West Germany, which enjoyed a huge commercial subculture but lacked legal reforms, and in East Germany, where the opposite was true, indicates that these two horsemen of gay liberation do not always ride together.

And before you do anything else with your life, read Michael Parenti's “Blackshirts and Reds” (1997):

Graphic with the text "To embrace a class analysis is not to deny the significance of identity issues but to see how these are linked both to each other and to the overall structure of politico-economic power. An awareness of class relations deepens our understanding of culture, race, gender, and other such things. / Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds, 1997"

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color

Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Cruising crackdown in Penn Station bathroom puts at least 20 men in ICE custody

State and city laws prohibit local police departments from turning people over to ICE. That restriction does not apply to the federally run Amtrak Police Department.
