@Yogiomm“It seems clear that this is a coordinated effort, almost certainly spearheaded by the British state, to debank voices critical of Zionism & warmongering, in yet another attempt to shut them down”

I stand in solidarity with Autistici/Inventati.
On 26th of August, the US government designated the A/I collective as a "global terrorist organization".
The A/I collective has provided free online services to antifascists worldwide for more than twenty years. Considerable wins in antifascist struggle have been helped by their services.
The A/I collective has published a statement in response to the designation here: https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10076
Maybe you're connected to a struggle where their blogging platform https://noblogs.org is used?
In #norway, we are thousands of people struggling against a planned genocide-complicit #chemringnobel weapons explosives factory. An important part of our struggle is the actively defended zone @knuskrigsmaskinen, who relies on noblogs for their primary online presence at https://knuskrigsmaskinen.noblogs.org.I highly recommend reading this blog post about the history of the A/I collective and the current situation: https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2
This move by the US government clearly shows their government's commitment to fascism; to the destruction of democratic, emancipatory, peace and anti-authoritarian movements and society -- worldwide.
All of us who dare insist on freedom should recognize this for what it is, and defend our collective right to organize.
Solidarity with Autistici/Inventati!
**Update, 28.08 10:50**: multiple people report being unable to reach the main A/I url "https://autistici.org".
"https://noblogs.org" is still reachable. I advise folks who use it, to export and backup all their data. I suggest following @cavallette for further updates.**Update, 29.08 02:30**: Organisations can now sign an open letter in support of A/I: https://www.wewillfreeus.org/open-letter-communications-infrastructure-is-not-terrorism/
**Update, 30.08 0630 UTC**: Autistici / Inventati has published a 15 part press release regarding getting designated by the US as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist": https://inventati.org/campaign/press

@AvonVilla
Finally, you spoke the quiet parts aloud, you’re #antiWar and #antiMilitarist. Good, now I know were you’re coming from. I respect your opposition to what is a scourge on our species. I disagree with your line of argument, but I respect your view.I am not a warmonger nor a militarist either, but I am not a pacifist, nor reluctant to taking a life under very specific circumstances. I also know what it’s like being in uniform with less than optimal tools to do the assigned tasks — which in the worst case is terminal.

It’s in the Blood
In 1539, a fugitive former-priest-turned-Anabaptist, in his seminal work “The Foundation,” penned the following words:
“Christ is our fortress; patience our weapon of defense; the Word of God our sword. …Iron and metal spears and swords we leave to those who, alas, regard human blood and swine’s blood of well-nigh equal value.”
So said Menno Simons, principal leader of the Protestant sect which then became known as the Mennonites.
More than 500 years later, his words still resound with a mighty truth.
At the risk of sounding morbid, it has to do with blood.
While Menno specifically refers to the difference between human blood and that of an animal, his larger point is the “value” we place on the blood of another.
My point is quite simple.
Killing will not end through education, conflict resolution, or disarmament, though all of these are important and can help. Killing will end only when there is a fundamental shift in the mind and heart of those who kill.
For how can you kill someone if you believe that their blood is just as valuable as your own?
Let’s call it – for lack of a better term – bloodism.
The other – their humanity, life, blood – is somehow less than I, and therefore, their humanity, life, blood, is not as valuable as my own. It becomes quite easy then to justify killing the other, ie. spilling his/her blood.
The directors of death throughout history from every nation, tribe and religion have understood and disseminated this concept quite well. A person (and those like him/her) is described as having the wrong beliefs, the wrong skin color, the wrong gender, the wrong age, the wrong station in life, the wrong land, the wrong possessions, the wrong clothing, the wrong language —- the wrong blood. These others are not as valued as you are, the leaders of the macabre scream, though they couch their speech in terms such as vigilance, freedom, history, security, and truth.
Then the killing begins.
The Nazis did it to the Jews. Israelis do it to the Palestinians. Hutus did it to the Tutsis. Shiite do it to the Sunni. Palestinians do it to the Israelis. Sunni do it to the Shiite. Muslims do it to the Christians. Christians do it to the Muslims. This country does it to that country. That neighborhood does it to this neighborhood. This race does it to that race. That religion does it to this religion.
And any one of a million other combinations.
STOP!
Do not allow your mind and heart to be filled with bloodism.
We are made in the image of God.
ALL of us.
And that divine DNA resides in the very marrow of our bones and flows through our veins.
It’s in the blood.

Good morning. 🌅
Please enjoy this #RainbowGirls cover version of Jordan Smart’s “Who Would Jesus Bomb?”
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lQa3JvF7GKU&pp===https://www.rainbowgirlsmusic.com/
#Lyrics :
If Jesus Christ came back today
Like you threaten he will
Which poor group of people
Do you think that he would kill
Who would Jesus choose to starve
If you gave him the chance
And if there was a genocide
Would he take a neutral stance
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
Would he say "it's complicated
There's sinners on all sides"
Or would he say that some people
They just deserve to die
If Christ the Savior rose again
Then on a sidewalk slept
Would you extend a hand to him
Or just watch where you steppedWho would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
Would Jesus hate the Gay folks,
The Queer folks or the Trans
Would he suggest they end their lives
According to God's plans
Would Jesus tell the homeless man
To get a f*cking job
Or turn his back on the poor
Would Jesus be a snob
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"Would Jesus Vote Republican
Or would it be democrat
Would he be chanting 4 more years
Or wear a MAGA hat
Would Jesus run for president
Or dictator or worse
Would Jesus be the pastor
Of his own mega church
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
Would Jesus build a border wall
Would Jesus drive a tank
Would Jesus own an arsenal
Would Jesus run a bank
Would Jesus feel safe in his skin
If he came to your town
Would you believe in Jesus still
If Jesus Christ was brown
Who would Jesus Bomb
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb
Would it be kids in Palestine
Or how 'bout Vietnam
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists
The Muslims or the Jews
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"
I want you to ask yourself
"What would Jesus do"source: https://www.lyricsondemand.com/jordan_smart/who_would_jesus_bomb

November 11th is a mixed emotions day for me. It's Remembrance day here in Canada. I don't attend any large public events. I spend it the same way, every year now, visiting some elderly POC veterans & some fellow war survivors & praying for global peace together.

While waiting at the hospital for Mom to get 2 IV treatments, over 6 hours (not including 1 hr of wait time to get IVs started), I did some peace #activism. I chatted with random staff & people who I saw around the cafeteria, gardens, outside on benches & by the bus stop. Gave them #BoycottIsraeliApartheid stickers & some of these #AntiWar #peace #stickers. Encouraged them to pass on the anti-war peace words, join the global boycott & ask others to join in too.

#VictoriaAustralia’s draconian new #AntiProtest laws will have a chilling effect on #FreeSpeech — and won’t keep anyone safe
Far-reaching anti-protest measures and giving police more repressive powers only serve to increase the risk of escalating violence.
by Sarah Schwartz, Jul 9, 2025
"In response to the weekend’s attack on the East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has announced she will forge ahead with new anti-protest measures and more #police powers.
"In doing so, she is following what has become the new normal for state governments across the country: using acts of racism and violence as a pretext to #ClampDown on unrelated democratic rights.
"Taking to the streets in peaceful protest is one of the main ways for people to come together and express our political views when our representatives aren’t listening to us. But this right is not without limits. Every person has a right to worship in safety. The attack on East Melbourne Synagogue was not a protest; it was an act of antisemitism. The suspect has been apprehended and charged with a multitude of criminal offences.
"Two other incidents over the weekend, the targeting of a business with ties to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — a US-backed #Israeli organisation linked to the massacres of unarmed #Palestinians seeking aid — and a weapons company with links to the Israeli military, are also being referred to as justifying new laws. It is important not to conflate these actions against Israel with an attack against a Jewish place of worship. International human rights law, as well as our current laws, already place limits on protests that involve intimidation and violence.
"So what is actually being proposed in response? The Allan government is suggesting the creation of a new criminal offence for wearing a #FaceCovering at peaceful protests, banning 'dangerous attachment devices' (e.g. a #chain, a #BikeLock) — which have long been used in non-violent civil disobedience — and #criminalising peaceful protests around places of religious worship.
"The ban on face coverings would be a first in #Australia. It would mirror measures used in #authoritarian states that force people to submit themselves to various forms of #StateSurveillance.
"#VictoriaPolice has been using facial recognition software for years without any regulatory or legislative framework to prevent breaches of privacy. This technology, combined with a ban on face coverings at protests, would essentially amount to an obligation on behalf of individuals to submit to surveillance by the state, corporations and other groups that surveil protesters.
"Unless you’re a #MiningCompany spending hundreds of millions buying politicians’ favour or can wine and dine decision-makers, peaceful protest is one of the main ways for people to hold governments and corporations to account. Protests for the eight-hour workday, #WomensRights, #FirstNationsRights and the #AntiWar movement have led to significant improvements in all of our lives.
Know something?"Many people attending protests wear face coverings to protect their privacy and anonymity. For temporary migrants, the consequences of identification can include visa cancellation and detention. #FarRight groups, abusers of gender-based violence and other political groups have all been documented as engaging in doxing, surveillance and retaliatory violence against people identified at peaceful protests.
"Even with exemptions, a ban would mean that people who wear facemasks for reasons of health, disability status, or religious or cultural reasons would be at risk of police targeting and made to justify their use of a face mask.
"Adding new repressive police powers against peaceful protesters only serves to increase the risk of escalating violence at already heightened public demonstrations. People will not stop taking to the streets on issues they care about, even if the state tries to stifle their voices. Donald #Trump’s deployment of the #NationalGuard in response to protests in LA shows us how deploying more state force at protests increases rather than decreases the risk of violence.
"A ban on protests outside or within a certain proximity to places of worship would mean police could arrest those engaging in peaceful protests for a genuine, non-discriminatory purpose — for example, protests by survivors of #ClergySexualAbuse or by congregants against the political activities of their own religious institutions.
"It would also have the unintended consequence of rendering large areas of the state no-go zones for peaceful protest, due to the high number of places of worship. Similar laws in #NSW are already being challenged for their #unconstitutionality.
"Taken together, this suite of laws, which would provide police with extraordinary powers against people peacefully raising their voices against #injustice, would have a chilling effect, deterring #MarginalisedGroups from attending protests and exercising their rights to freedom of expression, which the Victorian government has sought to protect.
"Ultimately, banning face coverings at peaceful protests and banning protests outside places of worship would not have done anything to prevent what occurred over the weekend. Premier Allan knows this. Yet she is stuck in the same reactive law-and-order merry-go-round that saw NSW Premier Chris Minns enact fear-based, repressive anti-protest measures in response to what we now know was an opportunistic criminal conspiracy.
"Encouraging people to express their political views peacefully is the antidote to non-peaceful forms of protest and is something that all governments should be encouraging and facilitating. At times like this, we should be able to trust our politicians not to fuel division and panic through misguided and knee-jerk responses, but to take measures to address the root causes of racism and hatred."

#InContempt #47: #Trump Administration Gears Up to Attack #AntiWar Movement
December 1, 2024
"Judging from what has been pushed thus far, there are several legal measures most likely to be used once Trump returns to Washington. One would be deporting foreign college students in the U.S. on a visa after they’re found to have openly advocated for #Hamas or another U.S.-designated terror group, or after they participated in an unauthorized campus protest and were suspended, expelled or jailed.
Another measure would be to pursue federal prosecutions of #demonstrators who block synagogue entrances or disrupt Jewish speakers at events. A third approach is to charge #protest leaders and nonprofits that aid in fundraising for protest groups with failing to register with the U.S. Justice Department as an 'agent of a foreign principal.' And a fourth avenue is to open investigations into protest leaders who are in direct contact with U.S.-designated terror groups while advocating on their behalf.
"…#AmericaFirstLegal has in the past year filed four lawsuits that provide a glimpse into how the Trump administration could differ from its predecessor. America First Legal alleges in the suits that the State Department, the Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education have protected pro-Hamas extremists.
"In court papers and in letters to several federal oversight officials, America First Legal has also said it believes the Justice Department should have forced several leaders of pro-Palestinian groups to report themselves under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, known as #FARA, which requires individuals acting as 'an agent of a foreign principal' to register themselves."

Even before #HR9495! WTF! #Biden Makes His Own Attack on #Nonprofit Over #Palestine
#ClimateJusticeAlliance was the only program grantee to speak out on Palestine — and the only one whose funding is delayed.
by Akela Lacy
November 29 2024,"The Biden administration is withholding federal funding from a climate justice group that supports a ceasefire in Gaza.
"The Climate Justice Alliance, a national coalition of more than 100 community environmental groups, was one of 11 grant-making organizations designated for Environmental Protection Agency funding under President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.
"The Climate Justice Alliance is the only group of the 11 grantees that has engaged publicly on issues related to Palestine — and the only one that hasn’t received its funding.
"'If we are not funded, it could set a larger civil society precedent for any future federal funding.'
"Climate Justice Alliance Executive Director KD Chavez said the organization, which was recently attacked by right-wing politicians and media, has been targeted because of its anti-war stance.
"Palestine is hardly a focus of the Climate Justice Alliance’s work, but past statements calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and denouncing apartheid in Palestine have come under a microscope amid a political climate that is increasingly hostile to any form of support for Palestinians.
"'Since our founding, CJA has been really clear in our position opposing war, racism, and colonialism,' said Chavez. 'For us, there is a direct tie to carbon emissions and militarism, and we stand behind our environmental and climate justice work, which is going to mean that we are anti-war at heart.'
"Delaying the grant payment, which was first reported by E&E News, could set a broader precedent to withhold funding from organizations working on social justice issues, Chavez said. House Republicans recently passed a bill known as H.R. 9495 that critics say would green-light devastating political attacks on nonprofits.
"'If we are not funded, it could set a larger civil society precedent for any future federal funding for any ambiguously progressive organization in the future,' Chavez said. 'When we’re connecting the dots, seeing H.R. 9495 gain traction plus the potential of us not being obligated these funds could lead to dangerous precedent setting for civil society more broadly.'
"A spokesperson for the EPA said the agency was still evaluating the Climate Justice Alliance grant. 'EPA continues to work through its rigorous process to obligate the funds under the Inflation Reduction Act, including the Thriving Communities Grantmakers program,' EPA Communications Director Nick Conger said in a statement to The Intercept. 'EPA continues to review the grant for the Climate Justice Alliance.'"
