    I realized that I didn't swipe for you to read the background slide in the Instagram post. I'm tired. I've been up since ass o'clock.

    So, I've included it here, but you'll have to pause the video to read it (though I will also put the text right here below).

    In case you're wondering why it's a video this time, I've also included some of the fallout from the Australian rally that took place on August 31st, just in case you still don't believe me that it's Nazis, even if they think of THEMSELVES as the kinder, gentler Nazis.

    If you're willing to march with Nazis, you're a fucking Nazi.

    Text from the slide:

    ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
    Background.
    Tommy Robinson was removed from
    Canada for his hateful views. That's not
    stopping his fanbase from following his
    orders this Saturday.

    A related rally in Australia mere days ago, ended with neo-Nazis attacking a group of Indigenous people, sending some to hospital.

    Christie Pits Park already had a clash between locals and swastika clubs in 1933. Let's not revisit it nearly a century later.

    Come take up space and show solidarity with immigrants and visible minorities,

    Show the fascists that the Christie Pits
    community doesn't support their bigoted
    nonsense rally on September 13th.

  2. I wonder if this is part of the #CAHNspiracy

    ❝
    Canada's intelligence agency is warning that extremists could "inspire and encourage" serious violence against the 2SLGBTQI+ community β€” a threat the Canadian Security Intelligence Service says almost certainly will continue over the coming year.
    ❞

    No shit, Sherlock.
    You might try listening to antifascists instead of just spying on us, fuckwads.

  4. Hate makes for strange bedfellows.

    Yesterday'sΒΉ shitshow managed to somehow be even more gross than WednesdayΒ².

    It may have just been an issue of ratios, but holy shit what a mess.

    😬 Ensuring that the protest bears the title NAZI RALLY, we have Gus Stefanis, white nationalist/race realist/Nazi. If you're standing with him... there should be some sort of Godwin's Law variation for this.
    antihate.ca/scarborough_white_;
    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadi

    At least the contingent of men sporting kippahs did not stay long, probably as a result.

    Then we had a bunch of Muslim youth (mid-teens, I would say), mostly disappointed not to be able to get anywhere near "the action".

    🫠 They were clearly unaware that behind them, in the Hindu Cowboy get up, was #CreepySpouseInDaHouse bestie, Ron Banerjee. Banerjee comes off as a weird little man, but he's actually a virulent Hindu Nationalist, who thinks that Muslims and Sikhs should be killed. (It is, indeed, fucked up that he's part of the #CarymaNgo Entourage).
    twitter.com/BaazNewsOrg/status
    bridge.georgetown.edu/research
    (Also this:
    thestar.com/news/gta/court-rul )

    Of course, the Nazi rally was instigated by the Christofascist #TerrorTots Save Canada, seemingly a Diagolon feeder team, with Christofascist Billboard Chris.

    So many of the participants were bused in, including the Biker Church, Freedom Fox, and Veterans for Freedom (V4F) assholes β€” oh wait, what's that on the back of that V4F hat!

  5. I was prepping my team in advance of tomorrowΒΉ, and it occurs me it might be worthwhile just to point people to a good thread to get a feel for the shitshow expect.

    The fash have once again picked a residential area, though there are only two schools this time not three.

    I point you to Stu Bensons live tweeting of the activity: twitter.com/LeftHandStu/status

    Of course, because Twitter no longer lets you read threaded things without an account, I will follow this post up with a list of links of every tweet in the thread.

  8. Oh Christ.

    Apparently #CarymaNgo is railing against straight white people coming out for #CommunityDefence and for helping block her fash-rimming ass from the 2SLGBTQI+ people she wants to target.

    Well, I'm not white, but I am straight, and I stand in solidarity because I'm not narcissistic enough to think that allying with Nazis is magically going to buy me some sort of free pass later.

    Recent events Stateside should have shown you what happens to tokens, if nothing else.

    Also, you know that NiemΓΆller poem? The "First they came for" oneΒΉ?

    It skips over trans people, but holy shit do they belong on itΒ².

    Expect extra riled shitheads in the wake of this statement from the TDSB:

    πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ
    Good Morning Parents/Guardians/Caregivers,

    Please find below an important statement ahead of planned demonstrations this week in our city and across the province.

    Thank you.

    πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

    Every day, staff across TDSB support student achievement and well-being, and work hard to create inclusive spaces where every student feels valued, seen and empowered.

    As you may be aware, there are demonstrations scheduled to take place in our city this week which, in some past cases, have fostered inflammatory, transphobic, and hateful behaviours against members of 2SLGBTQ+ communities.

    Ahead of these planned demonstrations, we want to make it unequivocally clear that TDSB stands with our trans, Two-Spirit and non-binary students, staff and families, and we support everyone's human rights and expression of gender.

    Harassment, discrimination and hate have no place in TDSB. In our schools, we do not tell students who they should be, but welcome them as they are. We do this by focusing on their academic learning and fostering feelings of belonging as expected in the Ontario curriculum and the Ontario Human Rights Code.

    β€œThe Ontario Human Rights Code (Code) protects everyone from discrimination and harassment based on numerous grounds, including disability, gender identity and expression, race, and religion. In schools, following the Code means that every student has the right to a learning environment free from discrimination, harassment, or other expressions of hatred β€” an environment where everyone feels safe to learn, thrive, and be themselves”. - (OHRC, Statement on Anti-Hate, June 2023).

    We know that news of the planned demonstrations is upsetting, and students, staff and families may require additional support. TDSB’s social work department is ready to support where needed. Students and/or families should reach out to their school Principal or another staff member at their school to speak with someone about the planned demonstrations, and/or the impact of transphobia and homophobia more broadly. Staff should speak with their principal/manager or reach out directly to the Board’s Employee and Family Assistance Program.

    You can read more about the work we’re doing and the actions we’re taking to interrupt and confront discrimination and hate in our schools and workplaces in TDSB’s Student Learning Strategy for Combatting Hate and Racism and Update on TDSB’s Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Strategy

    ​​​​​​​In support of 2SLGBTQ+ communities, TDSB will be raising the Pride flag at the TDSB Education Centre and administrative sites today and for the remainder of the week.

    To protect yourself and others, we share some notes on safety:

    ➑️ MASK UP. All attendees will be asked to mask, to protect our immunocompromised kin and to reduce the risk of doxxing. Masks will be provided if you don’t have one. Flags and banners, if you have them, can also be raised to cover your face, but they aren’t a replacement for a mask on their own.

    ➑️ DON’T TALK TO COPS. Police lie all the time. They may act friendly or sympathetic, but their goal is always to get information that can hurt our friends. If an officer insists on talking to you, direct them to a police liaison.

    ➑️ DON’T TALK TO FASCISTS. Conserve your energy and your empathy to use for supporting our friends. Anti-trans protesters may try to draw you into involved debates; they won’t be convinced by anything you say. They enjoy riling us up and turning those conversations into content to mock online.

    πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ€β€πŸ‘¨πŸΏπŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸ€β€πŸ‘¨πŸΌ BRING A FRIEND & DON’T LEAVE ALONE: Going around solo increases the likelihood of ending up in a dangerous situation, even after the action has ended. If you don’t have anyone, you can ask the organizers to link you up with a group to head out together.

    πŸ“Έ DON’T FILM ALLIES. If you must film, keep your phone trained on the cops and transphobes at all times. Too often, photos and videos posted online lead to far-right harassment, which regularly gets people fired, stalked, and criminally charged. Never, ever hand over footage to the police.

    πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ REMEMBER WHY YOU’RE THERE. Your job's not to dictate how community members respond to threats; it's to take up space so fascists can't fill it. If you’re worried about someone, check in and offer a hand, make sure they're hydrated and not hungry, but stay focused on on how you can best contribute to the defense.

    On Friday the 22nd of September, anti-trans groups are marching on schools in Scarborough to intimidate students there. While planned by the fundamentalists of 😫Save Canada, and transphobic influencer 😫"Billboard" Chris, they are but part of a broader anti-trans push by major media outlets, as well as politicians like Pierre Poilievre, Doug Ford, Stephen Lecce, and 😫Maxime Bernier.

    This past June, Save Canada and Billboard Chris brought hundreds of transphobic supporters from across Canada to march on schools in an Ottawa suburb. In response, community members rallied twice that number and blocked the bigots in.

    ➑️ With your help, we can do the same.

    As multiply marginalized people, we know that communityβ€”not copsβ€”is what keeps us safe.

    ➑️ From the everyday violence of the police against Black and Indigenous communities, to the brutal encampment clearings at Lamport and Trinity Bellwoods, to the monthly pre-pandemic anti-Islam rallies in Nathan Phillips Square, we see time and again how the police stand on the wrong side of history. We cannot rely on police to protect us from the growing far-right, which wants to legislate us out of existence in the seats of government and terrorize us in the streets.

    That’s why we’re calling for all our kin, our friends, and our allies to show up at Wallingford and Cassandra on the morning of the 22nd.

    We encourage community members to bring Pride flags, banners, and any supplies they can easily carry. Keep in mind, though, that the location is far from downtown, there is a possibility of a mobile defence, and you may have to leave anything too heavy behind in a hurry.

    While we’re doing everything we can to minimize risks to all participants, the reality is that many of our opponents will show up looking to harm trans people and our friends. That means they may be physically aggressive, but also that they may film and try to identify (β€œdox”) our side to target for harassment online.

    Advice from a legal observer:
    ❗️This is a medium risk action.❗️

    ➑️ There will be several aggressive fascists on site who fundraise off escalation.

    ➑️ There will be lots of fascist streamers/"independent journalists" looking to turn someone into content.

    ➑️ There will be several aggressive fascists on site who fundraise off escalation.

    ➑️ There will be lots of fascist streamers/"independent journalists" looking to turn someone into content.

    "Can't happen here," you say?

    "This flag is inclusive enough," you say? Oh, YOU didn't say that? That was this asshole yesterday [ image 1 ], so probably for the best you NOT say that.

    You might want to check the #DragDefence hashtag (with the C in "defence" because: Canada) for the sheer volume of it happening here.

    And the results?
    I'm going to do them one by one because they deserve not to be buried in this preamble.

  23. "And I would have got away with it, too, if it wasn't for those meddlesome kids!"

    Ajax today.
    Motherfucking #WLM Nazis.

    If you know this asshole's employer, you might want to give them a call and let them know what this fucker does for fun.

    BONUS!
    Good time for a lesson for shitlibs like Tanya Fasco πŸ₯ΎπŸ‘…:

    These assholes don't want to be unmasked because their neighbours and employers will ostracize them.

    Leftists don't want to be unmasked because this garbage will come to their houses

    You're doing fascist work, Fusco.
    Congrats, you disgusting piece of shit.

    Looks like you've got a #Nazi rally coming to #Dartmouth next weekend.

    Give your friends a warning, especially about the "special guestΒΉ" and the focus of the fashy gathering.

    Also: #CarymaNgo is in town at the moment. Hate to wish her on anyone, but if you want to keep her until then, πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ
