DHS website posted the debunked & false claim that Rose City Antifa doxed ICE. It wasn't even the right email address on the flyers. This is the state of the US government.

Today's statement about "Fighting Back Against Antifa Violence" from the DHS contains a false conspiracy theory about our member crew Rose City Antifa. RCA has not doxed any ICE agents, a fact confirmed by going to the URL DHS conveniently censored from their photo. RCA did not put up this flyer.
Screenshot of a DHS report with the following text, followed by a censored photo of a flyer soliciting tips about ICE agents with Rose City Antifa's email listed.

Right-wing media claiming that flyers for the "John Brown Club" were put up at the Georgetown university campus. The flyers were first reported by local Republican organizers and only feature a QR code which goes to a Google doc. Seems likely that this a right-wing troll and doxx/disinfo campaign.

Trolling campaigns like this have been happening for almost ten years. In 2020, white nationalist groups set up fake 'antifa' social media accounts to push false claims that left-wing protesters would attack "white suburban" communities. This misinfo went viral. www.nbcnews.com/tech/securit...

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

but we can’t take credit for these flyers; our focus as a group has generally been on local far-right political movements and organizing outside the state apparatus.
Rest In Power, comrade. Though you are gone, the struggle continues until every person is free.

Black sun posting and doing the 14 words while also going "please stop calling us Nazis, you're gonna get someone killed!!11" Literal cry bully behavior. They are such punk asses lol
More people should be talking about this.
trumps administration is whining and begging everyone to stop comparing ICE to the gestapo meanwhile they act just like the gestapo and use social media to post aesthetic videos making fun of and demonizing immigrants

when Trump says “antifa,” surely some unlucky activists will be swept up in this— but here’s his real targets
I think a lot of Democrats and left-of-center folks believe he's talking about fringe "antifa" groups in the Pacific Northwest... as opposed to how broad the language really is. This could be liberal think tanks, ActBlue, Soros Foundation... or even the League of Women Voters or NAACP.

The Evergreen High School shooting in Colorado reveals how digital subcultures that glorify mass killers continue to radicalize youth. Shooter Desmond Holly echoed neo-Nazi symbols and paid homage to past attackers—part of a growing online ecosystem where violence is celebrated and imitated.
This week: A Project 2025 coauthor is urging the FBI to classify trans people as terrorists, the plan’s media strategy is being tested in ways that undermine the First Amendment, and Linda McMahon is leading an assault on education backed by extremist Project 2025 allies. Read our weekly updates:
The Barbed Wire conducted an in-depth review of court records and statements thus far in the July 4 Prairieland case in which 17 people have been charged related to a shooting at an ICE facility — and found holes that call into question the government’s narrative. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/24/n...
Neo-Nazi “Youth Clubs” are using TikTok and Telegram to recruit teens with white supremacist propaganda, MMA training, and conspiracy theories like the “Great Replacement.” Inspired by violent figures like Robert Rundo, they now have presence in 42 U.S. states. Read more:

Remember that new study? Yeah we been knowing. 96% of BLM protests were peaceful; same for 99% of the pro-Palestine protests… And while I saw lots of reports on the study, I can’t say the same for the bigger news: That Trump scraped the study from all government websites — like it never existed!

Dirt In A Cog Zine by @invisiblehistories.bsky.social here: invisiblehistory.org/dirt-in-a-co...
Dirt in a cog: small ways to resist fascism that make a big difference. What does dirt in a cog mean? Dirt in a cog refers to the way machinery cogs (gears) Will slow, jam up, go crooked, and otherwise not work right if they're dirty. It may not totally shut down the machine but it will make it a hell of a lot harder to run. That's what this zine is. Of course protests, community organizing, and large acts of resistance are critical to fight against fascist and authoritarian regimes. This is not a way to avoid that. We must engage in those. But there are also ways we can resist in our everyday lives. We can be dirt in the cog. By Invisible Histories

“I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let's see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” I don’t think he’s ever been quite this explicit about his extortion.
The U.S. government has labelled Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” There’s just one problem: it’s not an organization. It’s more like an ideology, or a philosophy. I spoke with extremism and national security experts — and one said this is “plainly out of the authoritarian playbook.”
Antifa is the CIA because of Bellingcat, or something.

White nationalist livestreamer Nick Fuentes has never been more popular, and he has a plan in place to leverage that popularity to infiltrate all aspects of US society to spread his racist, antisemitic worldview. And it's already happening... www.wired.com/story/nick-f...
A reminder that Antifa panic was created by Microchip, who pled guilty to attempting to get Hillary voters to text their votes in 2016 and who also described helping to make the John Podesta files go viral by creating bullshit controversy.

Interesting history here. How did “antifa” become one of MAGA’s arch enemies? The deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville was a pivot. And purposely so thanks to a fascist troll called “Microchip.”

“But crafting policy wasn’t the goal of Microchip’s petition. Rather, he wanted to engender fear and rage in the MAGA faithful while simultaneously distracting and deflecting from the very real, and often very deadly, violence of the far-right.” Fear and anger are fantastic unifiers. Unfortunately.

You should preorder this book today.
& yes gonna be shamelessly promoting my book abt antifa during all this. It’s an anti-fascist spy thriller, I’m v proud of it, & I think it does a lot to demystify antifa You can preorder here. Would be v cool to make it a bestseller www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...
I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

I think a lot of people think about this all like it’s a natural disaster they can only flee from or cower in fear of. But it’s not a mountain lion or a tsunami—there are people causing all this and they have names and faces. It’s our job to tell people that.

This comment... It's insane the amount of J6ers ended up being involved in real estate. We can see how they accuse everyone else of being bussed into protests when they all have enough disposable income for insurrection field trips on the weekend.
Car dealerships and real estate agents essentially run the country, but they lose all their power if they can't sell us houses and Dodge Durangos. Use that against them.
This is the way
The data itself is questionable, for example the recent Minneapolis school shooter, who wrote neo-Nazi slogans like "Hail Breivik" and "Brenton 4 Ever" on their weapons, is considered "Left".
Screenshot of table from CATO's methodology article about their political violence analysis, showing that Robin Westman's ideology is considered to be "Left". This is concerning because Westman's ideology is not actually particularly clear (True Crime Community), and at the very least adopted the aesthetics of neo-Nazi shooters.

8 years ago today, the sparsely-attended 'Mother of All Rallies' in DC brought out the usual 2017-era suspects - channer edgelords, boomer militias, Proud Boys and various other memetic worship diehards. [Twitter Media Archive, September 16, 2017]:
This is what it comes down to. Hold the line, and realize that if you are thinking of shrinking back now, that's the entire strategy. They wait for these moments to target institutions and people. And giving in, from big to small ways, is how they win. These are the most important moments.
This has been coming from the beginning. All major democracy-supporting NGOs and foundations have their legal complaints already drafted. And in time, perhaps not even much time, they will win their cases. What is needed most in the meantime is courage. Keep saying what you think, doing what you do.
