  1. CW: CW: Fascism, authoritarianism, censorship, political repression

    Hello there! 🌸

    I've finally gathered all my ranting about the fascist demand for “apolitical art” into one essay.

    You can find it here:
    ko-fi.com/post/The-Fascist-Lie

    Go on. Give it a read. 💜

    And then go make some art. Write. Sing. Paint. Dance. Speak. Be inconvenient. Be political. Be free.

    Because freedom of expression isn't something fascists get to switch off when they don't like what we're saying.

    Fight for the freedom to create.
    Fight against the fascist dream of silencing us all.

    And make plenty of noise. 🏳️‍🌈✊

  2. CW: CW: dehumanisation, death threats, fascism, camps, hate speech

    There is a German phrase I keep coming back to: soziale Verrohung.

    Social brutality. The coarsening of society. The point where cruelty stops being shocking and starts becoming conversational.

    And honestly? We are watching it happen in real time.

    People aren't merely saying, “I disagree with you” anymore.
    They are saying:
    You are degenerate.
    You are vermin.
    You are unworthy of living.
    You should be killed.
    You should be sent to the camps.

    And increasingly, they aren't even bothering to hide behind anonymous accounts.

    Full names. Real photographs. Proudly attached to it.

    That should frighten us.

    Because dehumanisation is not just “strong language”. It is how cruelty becomes socially acceptable. First someone is annoying. Then disgusting. Then dangerous. Then somehow no longer quite human.

    History has a rather ugly filing cabinet full of examples.

    So no, I am not going to politely debate whether my friends, my community, or anyone else is sufficiently “worthy” of dignity.

    Human rights are not a popularity contest.

    And if your politics requires treating other human beings as disposable, perhaps the problem isn't that the rest of us need to become more tolerant.

    Perhaps your politics is simply fucking monstrous.

  3. CW: CW: Fascism, racism, Islamism, white supremacy, violence

    Today I was told I should leave Europe because I apparently hate white people so much.

    Why?

    Because I keep fighting fascism and Nazis.

    And apparently, according to this person, my great ideological failure is that I refuse to name Muslims as the “main threat.”

    Seriously?

    The chap I buy my kebabs from is Muslim. The family running the grocery store across the street is Muslim.

    The people who tried to beat me up in Utrecht were Czechs. The woman who recently verbally attacked me on the U-Bahn was Christian, and white.

    And yes, the attacker at the Berlin CSD was an Islamist.

    And that is precisely my fucking point.

    I fight fascism.

    White supremacist fascism. Christian fundamentalism. Islamism. Nationalism. Authoritarianism. Whatever flavour of hatred comes crawling out from under whatever rock it has chosen to call home.

    I am not going to participate in the fascist fantasy that Muslims are the enemy while white men are apparently waiting nobly in the wings to save civilisation.

    Sorry. I've met history.

    I know what hateful white men are capable of when they decide that their hatred gives them permission to hurt people.

    And frankly?

    I know people I would much rather stand beside.

    My kebab vendor.

    That Muslim family at the grocery store.

    People who simply get on with their lives, treat me like a human being, and don't require me to pass some ridiculous racial purity test before they'll show me basic decency.

    So keep your fucking race-war fantasies to yourself.

    I judge people by their actions.

    Actually, scratch that.

    I don't collectively judge groups of people at all.

    Except fascists.

    Because fascism isn't a skin colour, an ethnicity, a religion, or a continent.

    It's a choice.

    And if you've chosen fascism, congratulations: you've chosen me as your problem.

    I have no intention of making your life comfortable.

    #FBI #Counterterrorism Agents Spent Weeks Seeking a #ClimateActivist — Then Showed Up at His Door

    The visit suggests a possible FBI probe into #ExtinctionRebellionNYC as the Trump administration increases surveillance of #activist groups.

    Jacqueline Sweet, February 12 2026

    Excerpt: "Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, at least one of whom works on counterterrorism, went to the home of a former member of a #ClimateActivism group for questioning last week, potentially signaling a new escalation in the Trump administration’s promise to criminalize #nonprofits and #ActivistGroups as #DomesticTerrorists.

    "Two FBI agents, one from New York’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, told a former member of Extinction Rebellion NYC they wanted to ask him about the group at his home upstate on Friday, an attorney for the group told The Intercept. The visit followed a prior attempt to reach him at his old address.

    "The FBI’s apparent probe of Extinction Rebellion NYC comes as the Justice Department ramps up its surveillance of activists protesting immigration enforcement and the Trump administration creates secret lists of domestic enemies under Trump’s National Security Presidential #Memorandum7, or #NSPM7.

    " 'I believe this to be a significant escalation of the criminal legal system against #XR and find it very troubling,' said Ron Kuby, the Extinction Rebellion attorney. 'This is usually the way we find out an actual investigation is underway and is often followed by other visits and other actions.'

    "The former Extinction Rebellion member, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear for his safety, said that the visit came after a phone call in January from a special agent that he assumed was a scam.

    " 'I was skeptical the phone call was really from the FBI, but after I declined to speak with the agent, she said that she was standing outside my door,' he said. She was actually at the activist’s former address, which he said made him additionally dubious. But last week, when the agents showed up at his current address, he said he saw the agent’s business card through his door."

  5. I needed a pep talk from my brother today. We live in Tennessee...a state that has self-knighted as the "blueprint" for ICE/DHS/CBP (and we have actual neo-nazi training camps here). After I hung up, I heard Kamala Harris' chant, "When we fight, WE WIN!" Minneapolis, Portland, LA, Memphis. They are fighting. Fighting for them and fighting for America. They have already won by virtue of resisting fascism.

  6. This rally may seem small, but it's a big deal in that part of #Maine!

    #NoKings rally draws nearly 200 in #HoultonME

    by Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli

    HOULTON, Maine — "Spanning from the former Walgreens in Houlton to Dominos, protesters of all ages on Saturday protested the Trump administration as part of the nationwide No Kings day.

    "The Houlton event, with more than double the number of protesters at the first No Kings rally in June, is one of at least 37 that were planned across Maine. Joining the projected 2,600 events spanning the U.S., including such remote locations as Kodiak, Alaska, many in Houlton said they are fighting #authoritarianism together.

    " 'I think America needs to re-learn what it means to be together right now. We are not,' said Gene Barnes of Houlton. 'Right now there is so much division and it’s so divisive.'

    "By midday Saturday, No Kings organizers said that millions of Americans had already joined peaceful demonstrations in over 800 cities and towns, with another nearly 1,900 events planned later in the day across the country as part of the No Kings Day of Peaceful Action.

    "Houlton organizers have been regularly holding rallies in support of the nation’s democracy in the historic downtown near the peace pole. But for Saturday’s event they decided to move to the larger, more visible location on North Street, said Mary Beth DiMarco, who works with a local grassroots group in organizing these events.

    "As protestors waved signs and flags with messages to restore democracy and constitutional freedoms, four lanes of traffic were honking in support.

    "Aviendha Adams, 8, who was leading a freedom chant on a megaphone during the rally, told her mother, Lavinia Lengele, the she is protesting, 'Because I am a girl and I don’t want boys and men bullying me and telling me what to do.'

    "Many in the Houlton crowd were from the area, but people from Connecticut and Nova Scotia also joined the hour-long event.

    " 'I want to make sure all the minority communities know they have a voice and people who are fighting for them,' said Jackson Adams, 16. 'Human rights are for everyone. They didn’t protest at Stonewall for me to quit fighting now.' "

  13. PROTECT THE #PROTEST
    THE #SOLIDARITY WAVE

    What to do if someone does something you don't like:

    1. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
    We're all here for the same cause. There is no legal requirement to alert police to potentially illegal activity.

    2. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE
    If someone’s behavior raises your risk level beyond what you're comfortable with, leave the situation and head to a safer space.

    3. ASK FOR SUPPORT .
    If someone’s behavior raises your risk level and you're unable to leave, ask for support from the people around you or see if the person is able to accommodate your needs.

    4. RESPECT DIVERSE TACTICS
    Engage with curiosity about people who do things differently from you. What motivates them to be courageous in the face of police violence?

    5. KEEP COMRADES INVISIBLE
    If someone needs to blend into the crowd quickly, help them. Learn about de-arresting and support people who are being targeted. Together, we can be powerful, strategic, and united.

  14. How to Stay Safe #Protesting #ICE — and What to Expect From #Cops in Your City

    Do police in your city use #TearGas or #RubberBullets? Repression tactics from Seattle to Chicago, plus how to prepare.

    by Akela Lacy
    June 14 2025, 7:00 a.m.

    Excerpt: “The key really no matter where you are or what you’re doing is situational awareness,” said Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel to the National Press Photographers Association. “When you start to see officers on bikes encircling you, you need to have probably thought of this before, but certainly at that point, look for a place to exit.”

  16. WTAF! ‘#NoKings’ protest organizer calls #Texas #NationalGuard deployment an overreaction by Governor

    by Cora Neas
    Wed, June 11, 2025

    AUSTIN (KXAN) — "A protest planned to occur at the Texas Capitol Saturday comes after Texas Governor #GregAbbott’s deployment of the state’s National Guard to #AustinTX and other Texas cities following a Monday night protest in the state’s capital city.

    [...]

    " 'Soldiers are on standby in areas where mass #demonstrations are planned in case they are needed,' reads part of Mahaleris’s statement. 'Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles. Anyone engaging in acts of violence or damaging property will be swiftly held accountable to the full extent of the law.'

    "The Monday night protest, organized by the Party for #Socialism and #Liberation, was held to show solidarity with #protesters in #LosAngeles.

    "Saturday’s protest, ' #NoKings / #KickOutTheClowns,' is part of a nationwide action against a #MilitaryParade in #WashingtonDC, also on Saturday. The Austin rally is organized by Hands Off Central Texas (#HOCTX), a coalition of liberal activist groups such as #50501, #IndivisibleAustin, #IndivisibleRosedale, #ThirdAct Texas and #ResistAustin.

    "#HandsOff Central Texas President Sophia Mirto said that the rally will feature speeches by activists and locally elected politicians, as well as performances."

  17. About 500 #NationalGuard troops in LA are trained to accompany agents on immigration raids

    Nearly 5,000 military personnel have been mobilized in the Los Angeles area in response to immigration raid protests. A commander says National Guard troops and Marines will protect #ICE agents and federal buildings, and will be allowed to 'temporarily' detain people.

    By LOLITA C. BALDOR
    Updated 7:41 PM EDT, June 11, 2025

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "About 500 of the National Guard troops deployed to the Los Angeles protests have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations, the commander in charge said Wednesday. And while some troops have already gone on such missions, he said it’s too early to say if that will continue even after the protests die down.

    "Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, speaking in an interview with The Associated Press and ABC, also warned that he expects the protest situation will escalate. 'We are expecting a ramp up,' he said, noting that protests across the nation are being planned and discussed now. 'I’m focused right here in LA, what’s going on right here. But you know, I think we’re, we’re very concerned.'

    "Sherman, commander of Task Force 51 that is overseeing the more than 4,000 Guard troops and 700 #Marines deployed, initially said that National Guard troops had already temporarily detained some civilians. He later said he was incorrect, and that he had based his comments on photos and footage he had seen that turned out to not be a representation of Guard members in Los Angeles.

    "He said that as of Wednesday, none of the troops has detained a protester. But he said they have gone through days of training and are prepared to do so if needed. Close to 2,000 of the Guard members have either been out protecting federal facilities or personnel already or are ready to move out, and the Marines will wrap up their training and are expected to be on the streets of Los Angeles as early as Thursday evening, Sherman said.

    "The decision to have the soldiers provide security on the raids moves troops closer than ever before to carrying out law enforcement actions such as #deportations as President Donald Trump has promised as part of his immigration crackdown.

    "#California Gov. #GavinNewsom has called the troop deployment a 'serious breach of state #sovereignty' and a #PowerGrab by Trump, and has gone to court to stop it. The president has cited a legal provision that allows him to mobilize federal service members when there is 'a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.'

    "Under the Posse Comitatus Act, active-duty forces are prohibited by law from conducting law enforcement. Sherman said all of the Guard troops and Marines are going through several days of training on #CivilUnrest and #CrowdControl so they know exactly what they can and can’t do." [Um, yeah... Sure...]

  38. #Resist! Four Maine college presidents sign national letter decrying Trump education 'overreach'

    Riley Board, Portland Press Herald, Maine
    Tue, April 22, 2025

    "Four Maine higher education leaders have signed on to a letter accusing the Trump administration of 'unprecedented government overreach and political interference.'

    "Safa Zaki of #BowdoinCollege, Garry Jenkins of #BatesCollege, David Greene of #ColbyCollege and James Herbert of the #UniversityOfNewEngland all added their names to the letter, published Tuesday by the American Association of Colleges and Universities. More than 230 presidents of colleges, universities and scholarly societies throughout the country have signed so far.

    " 'We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government oversight,' the letter reads. 'However, we must oppose undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live and work on our campuses. We will always seek effective and fair financial practices, but we must reject the coercive use of public research funding.'

    "Though the letter primarily represents private institutions, leaders from a handful of state colleges and universities signed on, including University of Massachusetts Amherst Chancellor Javier Reyes and Eastern Connecticut State University President Karim Ismaili. A spokesperson for the University of Maine system declined to comment.

    "In recent months, the Trump administration has pulled or threatened to pull federal funding from higher education institutions that don't comply with his agenda on #StudentProtesters, admissions practices and #TransgenderAthlete policies.

    "The administration has also revoked the visas of hundreds of international students. On Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU] of Maine filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security [#DHS] and other agencies behind the visa revocations, asking that a judge restore the visas of any New England students who have had them wrongfully removed, and protecting future students from the same actions."

  39. #Maine: #HoultonME rally against #Trump administration was one of 16 in Maine

    by Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli, March 3, 2025

    HOULTON, Maine — "Fifty-two people stood together in the rain on Saturday afternoon in downtown Houlton, wearing black armbands and carrying signs calling for the restoration of the nation.

    "The rally was one of more than a dozen around the state on Saturday against the new administration of President Donald #Trump. Co-organizer Marilyn Roper said it was meant to draw attention to what demonstrators see as the recent loss of so many of the nation’s rights and the dismantling of government agencies. They also urged support for #Ukraine in its war against #Russia.

    "Also over the weekend, demonstrators gathered at the State House in Augusta to protest the Maine Principal’s Association’s rules allowing transgender student athletes to participate in sports divisions that align with their actual gender, which have sparked the ongoing threats by the Trump administration to cut Maine’s federal funding.

    "As the group of Houlton-area residents stood in silence displaying messages of restoration, passing drivers honked in solidarity. They specifically called for the restoration of law and order, decency, democracy, and the U.S. Agency for International Development [#USAID], among other things.

    "During one stretch of time, the only vocal opposition came from a man driving a black pick-up truck, who yelled his disapproval out the window as he drove by.

    "Roper is part of a statewide peace and justice group that co-organized the March 1 rallies in 16 communities, with one each in every Maine county. Some of the other demonstrations were in #BangorME, #SkowheganME, #CalaisME, #Damariscotta and #PortlandME.

    "Several participating in the Houlton rally expressed their disgust and shame regarding Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance’s berating of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office on Friday.

    "Others bemoaned what they see as so many losses since the January inauguration.

    "Houlton resident Bertrand Laurence said that even people who choose to not be involved are making a political statement.

    "A core group of local organizers has been meeting regularly over the years to plan this and other activities related to issues of #SocialJustice and democracy.

    "Following Saturday’s one-hour rally, organizers met at the #UnitarianUniversalist Church to plan future actions, including an upcoming postcard mailing campaign to the White House, said Roper.

    "The postcards, slated for a March 15 mailing, will be addressed directly to Trump as a public expression of opposition to his behaviors and policies.

    "'May the rallies in Maine and across the country bring about some halt in the destruction of our democracy and restoration of so much lost,' Roper said."

  41. At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against #FarRight #AfD ahead of German election

    February 8, 2025

    MUNICH, Germany (AP) — "More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against #FarRightExtremism ahead of the country’s #GeneralElection.

    "The far-right, #AntiImmigrant #AlternativeForGermany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on #February23.

    "The protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese — where Oktoberfest takes place each year — brought a significantly larger crowd than expected, according to the German dpa news agency. The event’s organizer estimated the crowd could be up to 320,000 people, many of whom carried signs against the AfD with slogans like, '#Racism and #hatred is not an alternative.'

    "The protest was supported by #ActivistGroups as well as the #MunichFilmFestival, #churches and Munich soccer clubs FC Bayern and TSV 1860, among others. Police told dpa that the demonstration was peaceful.

    "Similar #protests attracted large crowds on Saturday in #HanoverGermany, #RostockGermany, and elsewhere in Germany, mirroring other demonstrations that have occurred across the country in recent weeks."

    Hundreds protest President Trump's agenda in Augusta during national day of action

    Maine Public | By Kevin Miller
    Published February 5, 2025

    "Despite freezing temperatures, several hundred people gathered outside of the Maine State House on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration's chaotic, first two weeks in office.

    "The event was part of a national day of protest in state capitals. But #Maine's rally also highlighted the growing frustrations among some #Democrats and #progressives about what they say is a weak response from #DemocraticLeaders.

    "This movement is for the people and by the people. We do not need a party," said #NicholasJackson [my hero!] of Hallowell, who obtained a permit for the event after the local Democratic committee canceled a rally over fears of 'infiltrators.'"
