Wish other people in my dad's side of the family would be as cool about non-monogamy as her tbh

She was difficult to deal with when I first came out but she honestly seems to have taken the non-monogamy in her stride after the rest of the queerness

Remembered how my grandma was the only one of my family to ask how my ex was doing (not knowing we'd broken up) when I went back last πŸ’š

Most every step taken to help protect identities is tenuous in isolation, they work because they're taken together

when they haven't been the "spikey" activists who are typically understood as needing the masks for anonymity. So steps like that have been vital for them and have helped work to prevent other comrades being IDed/pointed out across multiple demos

Makes sense (I also wear a mask daily cause of increased infection riskπŸ’š), tho it may be tenuous but my comment is also (maybe more so) for others seeing the post who don't have a platform like you do to be recognised from, I've known too many friends IDed and harassed by pigs and fash even...

Picture does go hard as hell, but it defeats the purpose of being masked up at demos like these (protecting your and by extention your network's identity from the pigs) if you identify yourself in them

I reject β€œfrom each according to his ability to each according to his needβ€œ not because I like markets or money, but because you shouldn’t be defined by your abilities or needs

A toy gun on a ship shelf with twin barrels on top of the body, resembling vaguely the homemade pistol that killed shinzo abe

This is not about people who do antifascist work as much as organisations which brand themselves as Antifascist

scrapping with random street fash while every government I've lived under does so much worse violence than those fash could imagine

daily by the existing state. Why don't antifascists target the labour party and build a genuinely revolutionary movement against them?

I'm not saying its intentionally counterrevolutionary, it's well meaning just

We could do so much more, and I'm SO BURNED OUT from travelling the country

due to both state violence and constantly dealing with reactionary patriarchs.

Basically tho what I'm thinking is that (as I have seen it exist) it focuses energies on the periphery and aesthetics of "far right" leaving little to no energy to deal with the much more material reality of those hurt

Getting more and more convinced that "antifascism" as a movement is fundementally counter revolutionary. This is not a fully formed thought and might just be me being incredibly bitter from all the ways I am burned out and seriously fucked up from being in the movement

I love to know you think I'm a piece of shit (not that you know I have these conditions)! I love that you're a mental health nurse who throws around terms like this as insults!

God what a day to have anger issues. Local antifascists going out of their way to cape for imperialist violence (doing some Respect Our Troops bullshit), then a friend using multiple sanist and ablist slurs in conversation and the only people calling....

They're calling her the goat, the greatest to ever do it, the genius of the 21st century, the most vindicated bitch who ever lived, her haters in shambles her doubters in tears she's loosed the faithful lightning of her terrible swift sword, HER TRUTH IS MARCHING ON

Many alleged suicides of Black trans women are in fact modern-day lynchings, report finds Jill Collen Jefferson, the founder of JULIAN, explains what happens when a transgender woman’s death is ruled a suicide and a community calls it something else.

This is terrifying

Silly anarchist, don't you know that in a stateless society, the state-sponsored infrastructure that does nothing for you wouldn't exist? Then what would you do?

What about the poor people who are the ones getting bombed. I will accept the whinging about the poor American recruits if you give every third-worlder a button that gives them 50k dollars when pressed while killing a random American

This spells out what we've always known about institutional and community contempt for trans people in death, and elaborates on how that is intensified by anti-Blackness and transmisogyny.

Transmisogynoir means Black trans women's deaths are dismissed, lied about, and not investigated.

Day 2 of Revealathon!

We reveal Colin Obee aka Captain Obes, a fascist streamer. We first spotted him harassing Palestine protesters in Patchway last month. Attended every action since & transported fash to the Red Lion recently, who proceeded to harass anti fascists.

Why is the flare such an issue that it gets its own slide? Antifascists use flares just likes those so commonly, and an antifa group should know pretty well that illegal=/=bad at all, there's so much else to focus on here instead of curtain twitching about aesthetics

Crimethinc have completely shit the bed when it comes to U.S. foreign policy (among other things), quit this BS about "borrowing from Netanyahu and Putin"!

No actually, the country built on genocide AND the most powerful postwar empire, is not "borrowing" from anyone but itself!
