'Vincent wasn’t a Fed, though. He was one of a growing number of far-left
vigilantes who are infiltrating the far right.' 😘

Infiltrating the Far Right
The threat from domestic terrorism is rising, but, with Republicans decrying the
“deep state,” the F.B.I. is cautious about investigating far-right groups.
Vigilantes are leaping into the fray.

dequi kioni-sadiki on
#BlackAugust
: "Sekou [Odinga] was in prison for 33.5 years and when he came home every
police precinct in NYC was notified. We need to remember the struggle, the
commitment, the sacrifice that people have made, just like the State remembers
their resistance."

“It is highly troubling that in a time of rising extremism & blatant
fearmongering, as Republican-led state legislatures pass draconian bills
cracking down on civil liberties, the Democratic Party is embracing its own
carceral agenda”

As covid cases spike, if you’re organizing events (teach-ins, rallies, etc.):
Please consider adding a virtual option as well as adopting masking and testing
policies for in-person attendance. Now is the time to demonstrate that disabled
people are part of the movement too.

On Monday we sat down with Xtn Alexander and Matthew Lyons from
#ThreeWayFight
to discuss fascism and its relationship to the ruling class. Of special interest
to a local audience, Xtn and Matthew also reflected on the legacy of the 1979
Greensboro Massacre.
youtu.be
Against Fascism, Against the State
Writers Xtn Alexander and Matthew Lyons share their new edited volume on the
"three way fight" approach to antifascism. They offer reflections on the dangers
we face from the ruling class and the far right, explore various uses of the
term "fascism" by the Left, and discuss the legacy of the 1979 Greensboro
Massacre. ABOUT THE BOOK ----- Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and
Antifascism offers an introduction to three way fight politics, with more than
thirty essays, position statements, and interviews from the Three Way Fight
website and elsewhere, from the antifascist struggles of the 1980s and 1990s to
the political upheavals of the twenty-first century. Many of the writings
address issues of political strategy, such as tensions between radicals and
liberals within the reproductive rights movement and the George Floyd rebellion,
video gaming as an arena of political struggle, and the importance (and
challenges) of approaching antifascist organizing in ways that are militant,
community based, and nonsectarian.

Not only did they want to charge School Librarians with the crime of
distributing harmful material to minors, but they hoped if they could prove that
student volunteers reshelved the books, the charge could be elevated to a felony
for using minors in the commission of the alleged crimes.

Inside the two-year fight to bring charges against school librarians in
Granbury, Texas
An 824-page investigative file offers a visceral picture of an officer’s attempt
to prosecute librarians amid a nationwide movement to criminalize books.

Can't wait for this timely conversation with Ben and Shane! Among other things,
they'll be discussing how we can keep genuine antisemitism out of our movements,
while resisting the false and dangerous equivalency of anti-Zionism with
antisemitism in response to the struggle for Palestinian freedom.
