📍 The last of the public stops are settled and confirmed.
The route is real. The flyers are done. The 1979 Ford Econoline is getting pointed toward the road, which is either inspiring or deeply irresponsible. Probably both.
🚐 Sabot Media is heading out for rural / urban solidarity: talks, zines, interviews, workshops, field reports, and conversations with people keeping each other alive without permission.
🌾 These stops are about connecting the fights across the map.
Small towns and cities.
Backroads and blocks.
Punk houses and community spaces.
Kitchen tables and organizing rooms.
People who stayed, people who left, and people trying to build something worth coming home to.🎙️ Come through if you’re nearby. Bring questions, stories, friends, local history, people we should interview, and whatever road support you can throw in.
💸 This is still a fundraiser. Gas, food, repairs, printing, and gear all cost money because capitalism remains unimaginative and rude.

The money isn't the point. The point is that a lie built to erase two people who told the truth collapsed in a courtroom, and the truth-tellers walked out whole. Solidarity you can feel in the hands — a name on a witness list — is the only kind history records.

⛽ Put fuel in the story.
The Sabot Media road trip fund is what turns this from a good idea into a moving van, a working recorder, a full tank, a stack of zines, and actual interviews across the map.
🚐 We’ve got dates and cities set. Stops are still building. The 1979 Ford Econoline is getting pointed toward the people, places, crews, histories, and fights that don’t usually get documented unless somebody broke and stubborn goes to find them.

🛠️ The fund pays for gas, food, repairs, gear, printing, and the thousand tiny costs that appear the second you try to do something useful outside your house.

How to Build Real-World Antifascism: A Practical Instruction Manual for Civic Defense
By Cliff Potts – originally for Occupy25.com
Introduction
Online activism matters—but survival depends on more than hashtags and digital outrage. Real-world antifascism is about turning awareness into protection, mutual support, and cultural creation. This guide provides an academic framework and practical roadmap for individuals and communities seeking to move beyond symbolic resistance into lived antifascist practice.
Antifascism, historically, is not just a political stance—it is a method of social defense (Paxton, 2004). Fascism feeds on atomization, fear, and despair; therefore, the counterforce must be grounded in solidarity, courage, and care. The following three-tier framework—Defense, Connection, and Creation—outlines how ordinary people can build resilient, humane communities that resist authoritarian collapse.
🛡️ 1. Defense — Make the Vulnerable Safer
Know your local rights.
Start with education. Every activist should understand the laws that govern protest, recording law enforcement, and self-defense in their state or province. Legal literacy prevents intimidation and enables lawful assertion of rights. Resources such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and National Lawyers Guild provide regional guides to protest and privacy protections (ACLU, 2023).Mutual protection networks.
Organize trusted micro-groups—three to five people is ideal—for security and accountability. These “affinity groups” have been a cornerstone of successful protest movements from the Spanish Civil War to the modern climate justice era (Bray, 2017). Members should exchange secure contact methods, set rally check-ins, and practice situational awareness. In emergencies, small units react faster and protect each other better than loosely connected crowds.Build community safety nets.
Authoritarianism grows where despair thrives. Helping neighbors with transportation, ID recovery, food distribution, and medication access undermines the desperation that fascist recruiters exploit. Social aid is not charity—it is civic armor. Each act of care weakens the narrative that “no one will help you except the strongman.”🤝 2. Connection — Rebuild the Civic Fabric
Show up physically.
Attend local meetings: town councils, school boards, library committees, parish gatherings, or labor unions. Autocracy gains ground when citizens stop participating. Presence is political. The simple act of showing up transforms institutions from abstract systems into human spaces.Mentor and listen.
Engage with younger generations who are disillusioned or radicalized online. Offer mentorship through skill-based teaching—writing, first aid, community organizing, or journalism. Teaching practical skills replaces nihilism with purpose, an essential step in democratic renewal (Giroux, 2018).Bridge without surrender.
You do not need to argue extremists into enlightenment. Instead, maintain dialogue with the “gray middle”—those disengaged but influenceable citizens who often decide which way society tilts. By staying calm, visible, and humane, antifascists inoculate communities against polarization and propaganda.🌱 3. Creation — Fill the Cultural Space Fascism Feeds On
Make art that resists.
Fascism thrives when culture becomes propaganda. Writers, painters, musicians, and performers have a duty to tell the truth beautifully and bravely. From Picasso’s Guernica to protest folk songs, culture has always been the emotional infrastructure of resistance (Eco, 1995). Create art that speaks to decency, courage, and shared humanity.Practice mutual aid as daily culture.
Food drives, community gardens, neighborhood repair days, and disaster response teams prove that cooperation works better than cruelty. These initiatives demonstrate that mutual support is not utopian—it is efficient. Every local project models the world we claim to defend.Build parallel institutions.
When mainstream systems rot under corporate or authoritarian capture, communities must create independent alternatives: local presses, worker cooperatives, volunteer clinics, and study circles. These institutions do not wait for permission; they act. History shows that decentralized, self-funded networks sustain democratic culture when formal structures fail (Scott, 2012).Conclusion: From Protest to Presence
Real-world antifascism is not merely opposition—it is construction. It is the act of re-weaving civic life torn apart by greed and fear. It lives wherever neighbors learn each other’s names, workers demand fair pay, elders teach forgotten truths, and artists refuse silence. Fascism collapses when people choose presence over apathy, solidarity over spectacle, and service over submission.
As the twentieth century’s antifascist movements proved, moral courage is contagious. When we act—feeding, teaching, protecting, creating—we embody the alternative. In doing so, we make antifascism more than a slogan; we make it a culture of survival.

📍 We don’t just need towns.
We need names.
🎙️ Sabot Media is booking interviews for the road trip, and we’re asking people to help us find the folks we should be talking to before we roll in half-prepared and deeply caffeinated.
🌾 Who should we interview?
Rural organizers.
City organizers.
Workers.
Union folks.
Mutual aid crews.
Anti-fascists.
Artists.
Zinesters.
Independent media people.
Old punks with receipts.
People holding down community spaces.
People who know the history because they lived it.
People everyone says, “you have to talk to them.”
🏚️ We’re looking for stories about abandonment, organizing, survival, labor, community defense, media, housing, food, land, fascist creep, small-town resistance, city burnout, and the ways people keep each other alive anyway.
🧱 Rural and urban struggle are not separate worlds.
The divide is manufactured.
The road is not.
📼 If someone comes to mind, tag them.
If they should not be tagged publicly, DM us.
If you can introduce us directly, even better. Human networks remain inconveniently useful.
🛠️ We also still need hosts, floors, driveways, venue leads, food, gas money, and repair support to keep the 1979 Econoline moving.
💸 This is a fundraiser and a call for connections.

📷 🎙️ We’re looking for people to interview on the Sabot Media Road Trip.
🛣️ Our exact itinerary is still coming together, but the dates and locations are set. We’re hitting the road to document rural / urban solidarity, radical history, labor struggle, mutual aid, anti-fascist organizing, independent media, community defense, and the people keeping each other alive without permission.
📍 We’re looking for interviewees in and around:
Olympia
Seattle
Walla Walla
Tri-Cities
Portland
Eugene
Corvallis
🌾 We want to hear from rural organizers, city organizers, workers, artists, old punks, union folks, mutual aid crews, anti-fascists, zinesters, media makers, community weirdos, people who stayed, people who left, and people trying to come home.
🧱 The divide between rural and urban struggle is manufactured. We’re interested in the people building roads across it.
📼 If you have a story, a project, a warning, a grudge, a history, a lesson, or someone we absolutely need to talk to, message us.
🛠️ We also still need venue leads, food, gas money, repair help, and local contacts. Because apparently vans do not run on revolutionary conviction alone. Rude.

📷 💸 So what does the road fund actually cover?
Not vibes. Not branding. Not some imaginary nonprofit retreat where everyone learns to say “capacity” with a straight face.
🚐 It covers keeping a 1979 Ford Econoline alive long enough to carry us from town to town.
Gas.
Oil.
Repairs.
Gear.
Random ancient van problems that will absolutely appear at the worst possible time.
🛣️ It covers travel between rural towns, cities, ports, farms, punk houses, bookstores, union halls, kitchen tables, backroads, and wherever else people are holding the line.
🍞 It covers food, coffee, water, basic supplies, and the unglamorous shit that keeps people functional while doing media work on the road.
🎙️ It helps cover gear, recording, documentation, interviews, field reports, printing, promotion, and getting these stories back out into the world instead of letting them rot in a phone folder called “audio final maybe.”
🌾 This project is about rural / urban solidarity.
It’s about documenting the fights, histories, crews, warnings, lessons, and survival networks that institutions ignore until they can exploit them.
🧱 The divide is manufactured.
The road is not.
🛠️ Donate if you can. Share if you can’t. Connect us either way.
Host us. Feed us. Point us toward a story. Help keep the van moving.

🛣️ They want the city and the backroads suspicious of each other.
🏚️ They want rural people isolated, ignored, mocked, and abandoned until the far right shows up with a clipboard, a flag, and a fake rescue plan.
🏙️ They want city people burned out, priced out, surveilled, and convinced there is nothing past the last bus stop but enemies and dead ends.
🧱 That divide is not natural.
It was built.
By bosses.
By landlords.
By cops.
By extraction companies.
By politicians.
By media machines.
By every institution that needs us lonely, suspicious, and easy to manage.🚐 We’re not buying it.
Sabot Media is hitting the road because the map they gave us is a lie.
🌾 City blocks and backroads are part of the same fight.
Ports and farms.
Trailer parks and tenements.
Union halls and punk houses.
Mutual aid tables and kitchen tables.
Strike funds and bail funds.
Forest roads and alleyways.
People who stayed, people who left, and people trying to come home.📼 We’re going town to town to listen, document, connect, agitate, and carry stories across the distance they tried to turn into a wall.
📍 If your town has a fight, a lesson, a warning, a project, a history, a grudge, a crew, or one old anarchist everyone should have interviewed years ago, message us.
🛠️ If you can host, feed, connect, donate, offer floor space, point us toward something real, or help keep the van alive, reach out.
💸 This is a fundraiser. We need gas, food, repairs, lodging, gear, and enough road money to make this project actually happen.

🛣️ The road is not.

Destruction at a Federal Warehouse Facility Owned by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Surprise, Arizona
The incident occurred early Saturday morning around 1:30 a.m. local time, involving a broken window and evidence of and a fire.
No arrests have been made, and no suspect information has been released. The massive warehouse had been making headlines this month, outraging locals.
This incident follows a separate attempted arson at a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office in Meridian, Idaho, just days earlier.
In that case, a person used an ambulance and tried to use an accelerant, but was interrupted.
The person found the amulance at St. Luke’s West hospital on Wednesday, drove the ambulance through the parking lot, and retrieved gas cans that were staged in nearby vegetation. The person then drove the ambulance directly into the North Portico building, which houses DHS offices.
There was been an uptick in community defense targeting ICE as it has increased its deadly tenure within local populations.
In July 2025, a incident occurred at the Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas, resulting in the wounding a police officer.
In June 2025, protests occured at an ICE facility in Southwest Portland, Oregon. In October, a U.S. Homeland Security office in Williston, Vermont, was covered with threatening graffiti amid protests over surveillance plans. Appropriately, in January, protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota, followed shootings by ICE.

the pushback to folks choosing to pursue firearms training or obtain them always throws me for a loop
ultimately this should be the choice of the individual
maybe there are posts i don't see that proclaim everyone must arm themselves by 13:12pm this Tuesday but i'm not seeing such posts
is there a long line where somebody is passing out AKs that i missed?

Last night, generous Portlanders heard word that some ICE agents were new to legal cannabis culture so the city did what it does best and showed them how to hotbox. Just another classic example of Portland’s unmatched passion for tourism and community spirit.
We stand with Portland.
Drop a ✊💙 for our fellow #BlueCrew members holding the line, defending dignity, and never backing down.

#GENERALACTION NOW! There must be DEFENSE, there should be ARRESTS OF ICE AGENTS AND THEIR GOONSQUADS, and there must be an END to their murderous, illegal, unconstitutional rampage on our streets ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. One fucking way or the other. These people must be held accountable, all the way up to trump, who likely told them they could do this.
