  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.

  3. CW: CW: Fascism, political violence, historical revisionism

    Fascism never lasts.

    It may swagger. It may acquire uniforms, flags, ministries, billionaires, television channels and an absolutely astonishing number of mediocre men with very strong opinions.
    But eventually, it breaks.

    Because evil has terrible long-term management skills.

    And then comes the most entertaining part.

    The people who spent years cheering for it will suddenly develop an acute case of “Oh, I was never really one of them.”

    The ones who marched will say they were merely observing.

    The ones who applauded will insist they were being ironic.

    The ones who spread the propaganda will suddenly discover the nuanced political thinker hiding somewhere underneath all that fascist garbage.

    And the ones who demanded cruelty will solemnly announce that they always supported human rights.

    Oh, Sweetie.
    We have evidence.

    That is why we screenshot.
    Why we download.
    Why we archive videos.
    Why we preserve posts, speeches, usernames, dates and declarations.

    Not because we are building some little book of grudges.
    Because memory is a weapon against historical laundering.

    Because victims deserve the truth. And perpetrators deserve no hiding space.

    Fascism will end.
    The uniforms will come off.
    The flags will disappear.
    The statues will come down.
    And suddenly everyone will have been a brave little resistance fighter all along.

    Except...
    We kept the screenshots.
    We kept the videos.
    We kept the archives.
    So when the reckoning comes, and it will come, there will be nowhere for these people to hide behind “I didn't know.”

    We will know.

    History will know.

    And, regrettably for the fascist revisionists, the internet has a rather better memory than they do.

    Archive everything.
    Let them lie later.
    We have work to do now.

  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."

  16. #MayorBaraka of #NewarkNJ, arrested at #immigration #DetentionCenter he has been #protesting

    By JAKE OFFENHARTZ and CLAUDIA LAUER
    Updated 7:00 PM EDT, May 9, 2025

    "Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week, a federal prosecutor said.

    "Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said on the social platform X that Baraka committed trespass and ignored warnings from #HomelandSecurity personnel to leave #DelaneyHall, a detention facility run by private prison operator #GeoGroup.

    [...]

    "Video shows the mayor standing on the public side of the gate

    "In video of the altercation shared with The Associated Press, a federal official in a jacket with the logo of the Homeland Security Investigations can be heard telling Baraka he could not join a tour of the facility because 'you are not a congress member.'

    "Baraka then left the secure area, rejoining protesters on the public side of the gate. Video showed him speaking through the gate to a man in a suit, who said: 'They’re talking about coming back to arrest you.'

    " 'I’m not on their property. They can’t come out on the street and arrest me,' Baraka replied."

  17. States defying #Trump anti-#DEI deadline risk losing education federal funding

    The #NAACP and the Legal Defense Fund have filed "a federal lawsuit blasting the Trump administration for a 'legally flawed' interpretation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964."

    Story by Mabinty Quarshie, Washington Examiner, April 22, 2025

    Excerpt: "In total, at least 16 states and Puerto Rico intend to sign the certification, according to Education Weekly, while 16 states have declined to sign.

    "Many of the states that have flat out refused to sign the order by citing their commitment to DEI policies are led by Democratic governors.

    "Among those states are New York, the first state to publicly thumb its nose at the certification request, Colorado, Washington, Minnesota, Oregon, Wisconsin, Vermont, and Utah, with the latter two states having Republican governors.

    [...]

    "In Fiscal Year 2022, federal funding accounted for 14% of K-12 education funding. State and local funding provided 87% of K-12 funding.

    "In fiscal 2024, the Department of Education spent $18.8 billion for schools with large numbers of #poor, neglected, delinquent, and other '#EducationallyDisadvantaged' students, as well as $55 billion in COVID-19 grants to #PreK programs, elementary, and secondary schools, according to Pew Research Center.

    "Should the Department of Education strip states of federal funding, it could force cuts during the 2025-2026 school year."
