Simply marching in the streets once every few months will not stop fascism. We have to draw people into concrete organizing and activity. No one else is going to do this for us.

Whether there are two of you or two hundred of you, this guide goes over what you can do.

The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund are also departing Trumpland, & 'exploring our options for re-establishing the Defence Fund’s infrastructure in a country not currently governed by fascists'.

'Donate & Support

In September 2025, United States president Donald Trump issued an edict declaring “antifa” a domestic terrorist organization. As a precaution, we have shut down the donation infrastructure for The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund to protect our donors and recipients.

We are presently exploring our options for re-establishing the Defence Fund’s infrastructure in a country not currently governed by fascists and we hope to have good news about that shortly. Please stay tuned.'

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

It means that everybody with a brain and morals is "AnTiFa" now.

If you aren't completely subservient, obsequious, and an utter slave to the fascist Republicans, you're antifascist, whether or not you right you were.

Kristi Noem attempts to associate "Antifa" with MS-13.

Kash Patel toadies to Trump, prostrating himself before the great leader for giving him permission to attack protesters "with a vengeance."

He makes it clear that this attack is directed against centrist politicians as well as ordinary people.

One thing that needs to be hammered home about fascists: they’re a bunch of whiny fucking losers.

The heart of the movement is men who always wanted to be bullies but are too weak and insecure to even do that properly.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Usually there'd be an alert about 'PATRIOT FRONT' appearing in a U.S. city some time around Columbus Day / weekend.

We're under Fascism rn so running around in Uhauls in cosplay & mask could backfire drastically both for Fascists & opposing them as any dissent is seen as terrorism under Trump.
