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:
https://ko-fi.com/post/The-Fascist-Lie-of-Apolitical-Art-E0U026JMAAGo 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. 🏳️🌈✊

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.

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.

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.#Fascism #Antifascism #NeverAgain #DocumentEverything #KeepTheReceipts #ArchiveTheTruth #HistoryMatters #ResistFascism #QueerResistance #NoToFascism

#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."

#Google Fulfilled #ICE Subpoena Demanding #StudentJournalist’s #Bank and #CreditCard Numbers
#AmandlaThomasJohnson didn’t know how much information ICE requested in a subpoena until months later. Google never gave him a chance to fight it.
Jessica Washington. February 10 2026
Excerpt: "Amandla Thomas-Johnson had attended a protest targeting companies that supplied weapons to Israel at a #CornellUniversity job fair in 2024 for all of five minutes, but the action got him banned from campus. When President Donald Trump assumed office and issued a series of executive orders targeting students who protested in support of #Palestinians, Thomas-Johnson and his friend Momodou Taal went into hiding."Google informed Thomas-Johnson via a brief email in April that it had already shared his metadata with the Department of Homeland Security, as The Intercept previously reported. But the full extent of the information the agency sought — including usernames, addresses, itemized list of services, including any IP masking services, telephone or instrument numbers, subscriber numbers or identities, and credit card and bank account numbers — was not previously known.
" 'I’d already seen the subpoena request that Google and Meta had sent to Momodou [Taal], and I knew that he had gotten in touch with a lawyer and the lawyer successfully challenged that,' Thomas-Johnson said. 'I was quite surprised to see that I didn’t have that opportunity.'
"The subpoena provides no justification for why ICE is asking for this information, except that it’s required 'in connection with an investigation or inquiry relating to the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.' In the subpoena, ICE requests that Google not 'disclose the existence of this summons for indefinite period of time.'
Thomas-Johnson, who is British, believes that ICE requested that information to track and eventually detain him — but he had already fled to Geneva, Switzerland, and is now in Dakar, Senegal."The #ElectronicFrontierFoundation, which is representing Thomas-Johnson, and the #ACLU of Northern California sent a letter to Google, #Amazon, #Apple, #Discord, #Meta, #Microsoft, and #Reddit last week calling on tech companies to resist similar subpoenas in the future from #DHS without court intervention. The letter asks the companies to provide users with as much notice as possible before complying with a subpoena to give them the opportunity to fight it, and to resist gag orders that would prevent the #TechCompanies from informing targets that a subpoena was issued.
" 'Your promises to protect the privacy of users are being tested right now. As part of the federal government’s unprecedented campaign to target critics of its conduct and policies, agencies like DHS have repeatedly demanded access to the identities and information of people on your services,' the letter reads.
" 'Based on our own contact with targeted users, we are deeply concerned your companies are failing to challenge unlawful surveillance and defend user privacy and speech.' "

#Minneapolis locals have reported that this #restaurant refused to shut down during the recent statewide #GeneralStrike & that the owner is sympathetic to #ICE over community. #Minnesotans have shared that this #NaziFriendly biz had also shut down comments on their IG.
Feel free to leave this #fascist friendly biz a shitty review:

A noise protest at #Home2Suites by #Hilton resulted in multiple #ICENazis scurrying to checkout, graffiti on the hotel, smashed front window, broken automatic doors, a solo - seemingly drunk/self-injured ICENazi (he was bleeding from nose/hands & no one had touched him) trying to scare off protestors before a ton of his backup arrived & threw a lot of smoke bombs/fired tear gas. Once they left, a few protestors went back in front of the hotel & made noise again, joined by many cars - all honking their horns. Then MPD & SWAT arrived to clear out everyone remaining.
The protest worked to get ICENazis to leave the hotel & not have a peaceful night. Private property damage is covered by corporate insurance. Capital is of lesser value than human lives - for anyone who judges vandalism from protestors. You can repair material damages. You can't bring murdered people back to life & that damage is irreparable.

#Frogs, #Axolotls, and a #Hippo Take #Manhattan to Deflate Trump’s “#Antifa” Slur
“I tried to get a Portland frog outfit and they were sold out until November!”
by James West, October 18, 2025
"A joyous, mocking menagerie of frogs, axolotls, and at least one giant pink hippo made its way down Seventh Avenue in Manhattan on Saturday, alongside thousands of others, in a defiant protest that formed part of the nationwide '#NoKings' rallies."

Well, here's a blast from the past... The #AlienAndSeditionActs of 1768! Embodied in the latest #Trump directive -- all done in the name of "protecting Jews" (just like the ones to "protect women"). Yeah, we can see where all this is going...
Additional Measures to Combat #AntiSemitism
EXECUTIVE ORDER
January 29, 2025"(e) In addition to identifying relevant authorities to curb or combat anti-Semitism generally required by this section, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Education, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with each other, shall include in their reports recommendations for familiarizing institutions of higher education with the grounds for inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3) so that such institutions may monitor for and report activities by alien students and staff relevant to those grounds and for ensuring that such reports about aliens lead, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to investigations and, if warranted, actions to remove such aliens."
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/additional-measures-to-combat-anti-semitism/
Alien and Sedition Acts
"The Alien and Sedition Acts were a set of four laws enacted in 1798 that applied restrictions to #immigration and #speech in the United States. The Naturalization Act of 1798 increased the requirements to seek citizenship, the #AlienFriendsAct of 1798 allowed the president to imprison and deport #NonCitizens, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 gave the president additional powers to detain non-citizens during times of war, and the Sedition Act of 1798 criminalized false and malicious statements about the federal government. The Alien Friends Act and the Sedition Act expired after a set number of years, and the Naturalization Act was repealed in 1802. The Alien Enemies Act, as amended, is still in effect as 50 U.S.C. ch. 3.
"The Alien and Sedition Acts were passed by a Congress controlled by the Federalist Party, and they were directed against the other party at the time, against Democratic-Republicans, the party typically favored by new citizens. Only Democratic-Republican journalists were prosecuted by these laws. Publicity from Sedition Act trials caused massive criticism and contributed to the Federalists being removed from power in the 1800 election.
"The Acts were supported by the Federalist Party, and supporters argued that the bills strengthened national security during the Quasi-War, an undeclared naval war with France from 1798 to 1800. The acts were denounced by Democratic-Republicans as suppression of voters and violation of free speech under the First Amendment. While they were in effect, the Alien and Sedition Acts, and the Sedition Act in particular, were used to suppress publishers affiliated with the Democratic-Republicans, and several publishers were arrested for criticism of the Adams administration. The Democratic-Republicans took power in 1800 because of backlash to the Alien and Sedition Acts, and all but the Alien Enemies Act were eliminated by the next Congress.
"The #AlienEnemiesAct has been invoked several times since, particularly during World War II by President Roosevelt. These laws were used to imprison over tens of thousands of #noncitizens of #German, #Italian, and #Japanese descent, all known as 'Enemy Aliens.'
"The Alien and Sedition Acts are generally received negatively by modern historians. The U.S. Supreme Court beginning in the mid-20th century has indicated that aspects of the laws would likely be found unconstitutional. Recently, the Alien Enemies Act was mentioned by President-elect Donald Trump during a campaign rally held at Madison Square Garden for the 2024 presidential election, claiming that he would use them to remove illegal immigrants operating within gangs and criminal networks on "day one" if he were to win the presidency by invoking the acts. After being sworn in as President on January 20, 2025, he mentioned it again during his inaugural address."

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.
