  1. 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.

  2. 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. #Midcoast #Maine communities participate in #NoKings Day of Peaceful Action

    Several events are scheduled around Maine, including in #BathME, #BrunswickME, #FreeportME, #RocklandME and #WiscassetME.

    October 14, 2025

    "No Kings, a peaceful protest movement against the Trump administration, has recently announced there are now over 2,500 community events scheduled for its Day of Peaceful Action on Saturday, Oct. 18. These events are organized by average Americans across personal, political and geographic demographics in all 50 states.

    "There are five event locations in the Midcoast: the corner of Main and School streets in Freeport, 8-11 a.m.; Wiscasset Bridge on Route 1, 10-11 a.m.; 191 Maine St., Brunswick, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; Rockland’s Chapman Park, 294 Main St., noon to 1 p.m.; and Sagadahoc Bridge in Bath, 1-2 p.m. Go to nokings.org/#map to see all No Kings Day of Peaceful Action events.

    "Building on the momentum of the June 14 day of action, which drew more than 5 million people across all 50 states, the #October18 mobilization is the next chapter in the No Kings movement. According to a prepared release, the aim of the Day of Peaceful Action is to send a unified message: We are a nation of equals, and our country will not be ruled by fear or force.

    "Groups organizing the No Kings peaceful protests across the country include #ACLU, #AmericanFederationOfTeachers, #CommonDefense, #50501Movement, #HumanRightsCampaign, #Indivisible, #LeagueOfConservationVoters, #MoveOn, #NationalNursesUnited, #PublicCitizen, #SEIU and #UnitedWeDream, among others.

    "All No Kings events adhere to a shared commitment to nonviolent protest and community safety, the prepared release said. Organizers are trained in de-escalation and are working closely with local partners to ensure peaceful and powerful actions nationwide."

  6. Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression

    How to Respond to Donald Trump’s Threats

    #CrimethInc, 2025-09-18

    "In a post on Truth Social yesterday, Donald #Trump declared that he is designating '#Antifa' as 'a major terrorist organization.' What does that mean? How can we prepare to weather the storm? Everyone should read this guide.

    "It’s always difficult to tell how seriously to take Trump’s performative declarations. He makes wild statements to see what plays to his audience, throwing things against the wall to see what sticks, and then doubles down wherever there is no pushback. But this time around, his administration has stuck very close to the classic fascist playbook, with one supporter going so far as to declare without any irony that the shooting of #CharlieKirk 'is the #AmericanReichstag fire.' The obvious next step in that playbook is to expand from targeting immigrants to go after #anarchists, #leftists, and other opponents of the #regime as well.

    "Yes, Trump has previously declared that he would designate 'Antifa' a 'terrorist organization,' most famously at the outset of the #GeorgeFloydRevolt. But at that time, the rest of the federal government largely acted as a brake on his impulses — whereas today, the entire executive branch of the federal government is comprised of toadies and sycophants who are incapable of distinguishing their interests from his.

    "Granted, there is no law authorizing the president to designate domestic terrorist organizations. But even without new legislation or an executive order, Trump has direct control over the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and other federal agencies. What he says on social media is probably indicative of what he will direct his underlings to do.

    "The fact that 'Antifa' is not an organization at all, but rather a nebulous category that could include virtually anyone who disapproves of Trump’s #autocratic agenda, is convenient for Trump.

    "This means that, regardless of who you are or what you do, you, too, could become a target. That’s why everyone should review the following suggestions, whether or not you think they apply to you. Rather than spreading panic, preparing ourselves in concrete ways will enable us to approach this situation calmly and effectively.

    "While no 'domestic terror organization' designation currently exists — and nor does any obvious mechanism to establish one — far-right prosecutors already have a track record of groundlessly pressing trumped-up terrorism charges as a means of terrorizing activists and supporters of social movements. Trump has explicitly called for the use of #racketeering charges to suppress his critics. #FarRight Republican senators are already sponsoring a bill that would add rioting to the list of offenses that the Justice Department can use as part of a probe under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations [#RICO] Act.

    "There are obvious precedents for how this might go. Two years ago, a wide range of defendants in #AtlantaGA were randomly charged under the RICO act as part of the repression of the #StopCopCity movement. The cases have been endlessly delayed—and earlier this month, a judge dismissed most of the charges on a technicality.

    Under Donald Trump, many federal agencies are disorganized and focused chiefly on managing perceptions. This precisely describes the authorities who brought the haphazard RICO charges in #Georgia two years ago. If the trajectory of the Stop Cop City RICO case offers any indication of how other RICO persecutions of accused activists might go, the chief threat may not be that the crackdown Trump is calling for will send people to prison, but rather that the charges will discourage and immobilize people, creating the conditions for the Trump administration to eventually supersede this form of repression with something worse.

    "It remains to be seen how seriously the administration will carry out Trump’s threats, and whether they will start by attacking #grassroots groups or proceed from the top down, targeting massive liberal institutions and fundraising platforms. In either case, our long-term prospects will depend on whether we can enable large numbers of people to act in solidarity with each other, taking up the kind of grassroots direct action tactics that can be effective regardless of whether the people who control the state wish to listen.

    "We all live in Atlanta now.

    "Here are some steps you can take to protect yourself and your community, proceeding from the immediate to the general."

  9. A note on #WashingtonDC from #NoKings

    "On #June14#FlagDay#DonaldTrump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

    "Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.

    "For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in #Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and #UnAmerican birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event at the link below.

    "For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in #Virginia or #Maryland, or join our partners at #FreeDC for #DCJoyDay, a community-led event in the District."

  26. #EU will provide emergency funds to help keep #RadioFreeEurope afloat after US cuts

    May 20, 2025

    "The European Union agreed Tuesday to provide emergency funds to help keep Radio Free Europe afloat after the Trump administration stopped grants to the pro-democracy media outlet, accusing it of promoting a news agenda with a liberal bias.

    "Radio Free Europe / #RadioLiberty started broadcasting during the #ColdWar. Its programs are aired in 27 languages in 23 countries across Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East. Its lawyers have been fighting the administration in court.

    "EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the bloc’s foreign ministers had agreed to a 5.5-million-euro ($6.2 million) contract to 'support the vital work of Radio Free Europe.' The 'short-term emergency funding' is a 'safety net' for #IndependentJournalism, she said.

    "Kallas said the EU would not be able to fill the organization’s funding gap around the world, but that it can help the broadcaster to 'work and function in those countries that are in our neighborhood and that are very much dependent on news coming from outside.' "

  32. #PineAndRoses #NewEngland #DSA protests #ICEDetentions

    Posted by #MaineDSA and Wes Pelletier | Mar 27, 2025

    "Last week, the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine organized a protest of ICE detention of #ColumbiaUniversity student leader #MahmoudKhalil. Since then, ICE has operated as the #Trump Administration’s #SecretPolice, abducting a growing number of immigrant organizers for exercising their right to #FreeSpeech and protesting the U.S.-sponsored #genocide in #Gaza. The list includes #RumeysaOzturk, #YunseoChung, #BadarKhunSuri, #MomodouTaal, #RanjaniSrinivasan, as well as #farmworker organizer #AlfredoJuarezZerefino. Maine DSA member and Portland District 2 City Councilmember #WesPelletier spoke at the Portland Mahmoud Khalil protest and DSA chapters around New England issued a joint declaration reprinted below against the ICE abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk.

    New England DSA chapters demand freedom for Rumeysa Ozturk

    "Yesterday, ICE agents abducted Rumeysa Ozturk, a graduate student and pro-Palestine activist at Tufts.

    "The kidnapping comes after almost 400 #ICEArrests in Massachusetts, as well as the #doxxing of Ozturk by the pro-Isreal website #CanaryMission.

    "ICE’s abductions—of Ozturk, Khalil, and many others—is an unprecedented attack on basic #CivilRights in the name of U.S. Empire, whether those detained are peaceful #PoliticalActivists or undocumented #migrants seeking safety, jobs, and a better life.

    "We must stand up against this brazen attack on #Palestine, #FreeSpeech, and the #RightToProtest.

    "We must stand in solidarity with our neighbors and communities under attack from Trump, ICE, and all agents of #imperialism.

    "Governor Healey, the courts, and the Democratic Party establishment are not coming to save us—we must mobilize, agitate, and organize in our workplaces and campuses to defend working-class rights.

  33. #Arizona #TwoSpirit #Powwow empowers community amid growing #AntiTrans legislation

    Tuesday, March 4, 2025
    By Brandelyn Clark

    "The Arizona Two Spirit Powwow returned to #PhoenixArizona on Saturday, February 22, to spotlight Indigenous #LGBTQ+ and two-spirit people for a day of cultural celebration and community.

    "Hosted at South Mountain Community College, the event welcomed dancers, drum groups and attendees from across the region. More than just a traditional gathering, the powwow allowed two-spirit individuals to celebrate their identities and honor their place in Indigenous culture.

    “'This (powwow) is a perfect example of a #SafeSpace for people to come and dance in whatever category they want to dance in, dress the way that they feel good about themselves, love who they want to love, and they are safe here. This tells the community we are here, we are here for you,' Sheila Lopez said.

    "Lopez is the founder of Arizona’s first Two Spirit Powwow and the first Native chapter of #PFLAG, which bills itself as the country’s largest advocacy organization that supports LGBTQ+ individuals and their families.

    "President Donald Trump’s recent executive actions have left #transgender and two-spirit communities uncertain about their rights and recognition going forward.

    "'It is super important right now with the administration, what they’re doing to pretty much wipe away trans people. It’s super critical right now for us to continue to show up in the community, to say we’re here, we’re not going anywhere and you can’t erase us, period,' Lopez said."

  34. Even though I didn't make it out today, it make my heart so happy to see that others braved the weather to #NotMyPresidentsDay events. And if #HearstMedia owned #MainesCW covers not only the #AugustaMaine event, but national events, you know we're getting the attention of even #RightWing leaning Hearst Media and others, it's turning into something they can't ignore!

  35. Alrighty then. Went on FB for my weekly check-in -- just long enough to firm up plans with a friend (though they have my phone #, whatev), get my niece's new phone number, post some political memes (that won't get seen), and then gave advice to a local about dealing with hydrogen sulfide odors in their pipes. Seems a bit appropriate! How to get rid of sewer smells from the stench of fascism? It might require bleach, but try baking soda, vinegar and hot water first...

    The Silent but Deadly Enemy: How to Neutralize Sewer Smell
    September 26, 2024 by Francis Olson

    "The pungent aroma of sewage [#fascism] is an unwelcome guest in any home or business [or country]. It’s a potent mixture of hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other volatile organic compounds that can make your eyes water, your nose curl, and your stomach turn [and pollute the environment]. But don’t worry, we’ve got the solution! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the world of sewer smell neutralization, exploring the causes, consequences, and – most importantly – the cures for this unpleasant problem."

  37. Excerpt from #ACLUMaine's "#KnowYourRights - #Protests"

    "The First Amendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest.

    "However, police and other government officials are allowed to place certain narrow restrictions on the exercise of speech rights. Make sure you’re prepared by brushing up on your rights before heading out into the streets.

    Organizing A Protest

    - Your rights are strongest in what are known as 'traditional public forums,' such as streets, sidewalks, and parks. You also likely have the right to speak out on other public property, like plazas in front of government buildings, as long as you are not blocking access to the government building or interfering with other purposes the property was designed for.
    - Private property owners can set rules for speech on their property. The government may not restrict your speech if it is taking place on your own property or with the consent of the property owner.
    - Counterprotesters also have free speech rights. Police must treat protesters and counterprotesters equally. Police are permitted to keep antagonistic groups separated but should allow them to be within sight and sound of one another.
    - When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. On private property, the owner may set rules related to photography or video.

    Do I need a permit?

    - You don’t need a permit to march in the streets or on sidewalks, as long as marchers don’t obstruct car or pedestrian traffic. If you don’t have a permit, police officers can ask you to move to the side of a street or sidewalk to let others pass or for safety reasons.
    - Certain types of events may require permits. These include a march or parade that requires blocking traffic or street closure; a large rally requiring the use of sound amplifying devices; or a rally over a certain size at most parks or plazas.
    - While certain permit procedures require submitting an application well in advance of the planned event, police can’t use those procedures to prevent a protest in response to breaking news events.
    - Restrictions on the route of a march or sound equipment might violate the First Amendment if they are unnecessary for traffic control or public safety, or if they interfere significantly with effective communication to the intended audience.
    - A permit cannot be denied because the event is controversial or will express unpopular views.
    - If the permit regulations that apply to your protest require a fee for a permit, they should allow a waiver for those who cannot afford the charge.

    What to do if you believe your rights have been violated

    - When you can, write down everything you remember, including the officers’ badge and patrol car numbers and the agency they work for.
    - Get contact information for witnesses.
    - Take photographs of any injuries.
    - Once you have all of this information, you can file a written complaint with the agency’s internal affairs division or civilian complaint board."

    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.'"

  39. Austinites join national protest against #Trump Administration

    Demonstrators across the country are planning to participate in the "#50501Movement.

    #AustinTexas — "On Wednesday, groups across the United States are preparing to shift an online movement in-person with planned protests against the Trump Administration.

    "In Texas, Austin saw a group of protestors at the Capitol building on Wednesday morning, with many demonstrators holding signs and flags with phrases like, 'Trump is bad news' and '#SaveOurDemocracy.'

    "This comes just days after a demonstration was organized in North Austin, where protestors gathered in response to President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies. Austin police later confirmed two arrests were made after the protests.

    "Referred to as the 50501 movement, the demonstrations were organized 'by everyday people,' according to a group called #BuildTheResistance, which advocates for Americans to 'defend democracy against the Trump Administration's attempts to systematically dismantle the U.S. government.'

    "The group is calling for 50 protests across all 50 states and has largely been organized with hashtags like #50501 and #BuildTheResistance. The demonstrations come in the wake of Trump's return to the White House, where he has since issued executive orders on immigration, tariffs on foreign countries and the U.S. Department of Education.

    "Many of the protests are planned at state capitols, but some will be held in other cities, as well.

    "The movement has websites and accounts across social media, including Instagram. The '50501movement page' has labeled itself the official Instagram account for the protests, posting fliers of events across the country.

    "Some fliers directly address #Project2025, a political initiative by the #HeritageFoundation organized to build 'conservative victory through policy, personnel, and training,' according to the project's website."

  40. I was at a protest of one today in #PortlandMaine (not the first time). Unfortunately, I wasn't there on #January20 because I was getting over being sick, but there was a great turnout that day.

    And it seems #AugustaMaine had a decent turnout today as well, so that's good.

    But even though I was there by myself, most folks who saw me were supportive, a few thanked me, and only one #MAGA-type said that my protest was "Bullshit!" To which I replied, "You'll find out soon enough."

    I don't mind being a protest of one, but next time, I plan on bringing some pepper spray just in case, and some cash for unhoused folks - who were way more supportive than some of the well-off passerbys.

  41. #DumpTrump’: More than 100 demonstrators gather in #AugustaMaine in national wave of protest
    By: AnnMarie Hilton - February 5, 2025 1:10 pm

    "Demonstrators stood in the frigid cold outside the #MaineStateHouse on Wednesday in protest of the Trump administration and the involvement of unelected billionaire Elon Musk in federal policy.

    "Dozens of signs with messages such as 'Dump Trump' and '#StopElonsCoup' filled the space between the State House and the Cross Building as 150 to 200 protestors chanted about protecting the U.S. Constitution, saving education — a nod to President Donald Trump’s efforts to disband the Department of Education — and stopping the rise of #fascism.

    "The protest coincided with a national day of action against Trump, condemning the administration’s moves during his first few weeks in office. Thousands of protesters showed up in #RaleighNorthCarolina on Wednesday, while other demonstrations were held across the country.

    "The Kennebec County Democratic Committee had initially helped promote the local rally but in a Facebook post Tuesday said it had pulled its permits with Capitol Police after the event was 'infiltrated by bad actors.'

    "However, people like Louis Sigel of Gardiner still decided to show up because he said they shouldn’t be intimidated by people looking to upend the protest. Sigel, who was wearing an #ACLU shirt and holding a sign that said 'Move the embassy back to Tel Aviv,
    said he contacted other progressives he knew and told them to come, regardless of the change. "

  42. Some dedicated folks in #AugustaMaine showed up for the #50501Movement protest today -- despite the original organizers backing out because of threats from "bad actors". Kudos to those hardy souls who showed up anyways! (And who are there until 8pm tonight)

    #AntiTrump protest draws hundreds to #Maine State House Wednesday

    "I went to bed and woke up in a different country," said one protester.

    Anti-Trump protest in Augusta still on despite confusion

    Two organizers dropped out, but the event, part of a nationwide day of protest, is still set for noon at the State House.

    "A protest against President Donald Trump scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the State House is expected to go on, despite its two official organizers canceling because of “bad actors looking to spread hate, misinformation, and turmoil.”

    "Protests are expected the same day at state capitals across the country in response to orders made by President Trump in his first two weeks of his second term, as well as #Project2025, a playbook by the conservative #HeritageFoundation for changing American government and society whose contributors have been hired throughout the Trump administration.

    "The protest is scheduled between noon-8 p.m.

    "#KennebecCountyDemocrats and a group called the #WomensMarchAugusta, Maine, both took out permits for the protest and were set to act as co-sponsors.

    "However, on Tuesday both groups rescinded their official involvement in the event 'out of an abundance of caution.'

    "'The event planned for tomorrow has been infiltrated by bad actors looking to spread hate, misinformation, and turmoil,' the group said in a post on its Facebook page.

    “'We have pulled our permit with the Capitol Police and any one who shows up will be considered on their own. People should know we expect bad actors to show up to cause havoc please be vigilant and careful if you do decide to go anyway,' said the post.

    "However, another community member has since secured a permit, so the protest is still on."
