#activist — Public Fediverse posts

If you're wondering, this is how a public intellectual creates a moral excuse for racial violence against a minority.

Take something that is sometimes (or even often) true for an individual, apply it to the entire group, then blame that group for the violence they will eventually receive.

Cops, rightwingers, and nazis do this against black Americans with crime and Arab or Muslim Americans with terrorism.

Interestingly, Zionism, like terrorism, is defined and thus controlled, by the persecuting group.

"#Farleft #streamer and political #activist #HasanPiker has suggested that pro-#Israel #Jewish #Americans are “making #antisemitism worse” by expressing support for the Jewish State.

“People don’t f*** with Israel any longer,” he said.

“If #Jews in #America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone’s going to come around and take action, not against the State of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews."

#Activist #TreeSit in #Ancient #Cottonwood Continues Against #BorderWall Construction in #Arizona

August 19, 2026, via @DemocracyNow_Headlines_rss

"A protest camp in the small border town of Lochiel, Arizona, is seeking to stop federal contractors from building another portion of President #Trump’s border barrier with Mexico. At the center of the protest camp is a 200-year-old cottonwood known as a '#grandmother' tree, with activists sitting in the tree to physically stop its destruction.

" 'People are successfully forcing the government to stop, to slow down, or at least change course on border wall construction,' says journalist John Washington, a staff writer for the queer news outlet Lookout and author of multiple books about immigration. 'They’ve been very clear that this is both an environmental and a political fight.' "

"[I]ncidents documented in #London between July 16 and July 23 were essentially repackaged versions of the #antisemitic “#ZOG” #conspiracytheory — “#Zionist Occupied Government.” The theory claims that Western governments have been secretly infiltrated by “#Zionists,” a term that report authors say is used as a disguised substitute for the word “#Jews.”

The Campaign Against #Antisemitism noted that the term ZOG was coined in the 1970s by #American neo-#Nazi #activist #EricThompson, a fact that, according to the report’s authors, underscores that the rhetoric derives directly from #whitesupremacist ideology, even when it appears today in other political contexts.

“Antisemitic #conspiracytheories of this sort are nothing new, of course. But their now open popularity among #farleft #activists points to a troubling ideological convergence that should concern all who are committed to combating hatred, regardless of where it surfaces across the political spectrum..."

Incarcerated for Life in #Trump’s War on the Left

#AutumnHill had already gone home when a #protest outside an #ICE facility turned violent. She was still sentenced to 50 years, over twice as long as any #Jan6 defendant

by MATTHEW COOLEY
August 12, 2026

"The battering ram took down the door first. A column of steel bolted to the front of a tactical vehicle slammed through Autumn Hill’s front entryway. Then the windows shattered. FBI agents threw flash-bang grenades through the glass, their concussions rattling the house’s front rooms. Hill was in the shared office space, in a thin red dress, puttering around on her computer. She heard screams from the other rooms. Then, the buzzing of a drone, as the police flew a quadcopter in through the splintered doorframe. A voice from the drone shrieked out, telling the residents of the house to come out with their hands up. Hill was terrified. She edged out of the door and immediately stared down a wall of gun barrels, masked agents screaming orders, the drone screaming in the air behind her.

" 'I remember thinking, ‘If I don’t do exactly what I’m told for the next minute of my life I’m going to die right now,' Hill says.

Through its loudspeaker, the #drone called repeatedly for one name: '#BenjaminSong.' Song wasn’t in the house, and no one inside knew them by that name. To Hill and her chosen family — an eclectic mix of personalities who lived together in what they called the '#BigGayHouse' — Song was 'Champagne,' a #genderfluid, politically #radical #activist who had, the night before, led a group to a demonstration outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility near #PrairielandTX. The protest, on July 4, 2025, was loosely organized in a collection of local activism group chats, and attracted a few dozen attendees, all of whom had their own idea of what they wanted to accomplish. Many, like Hill, planned a '#NoiseDemo,' or a loud protest involving fireworks and loud chants, aimed at disrupting the guards’ routine and letting the detainees inside know that they had supporters outside the fence."
