SMASH THE FASC

We are a group of students occupying Hovde Hall in protest of fascist posters hung in November until President Mitch Daniels agrees to meet with us regarding our demands. | Our gofundme | Please sign our petition!

Reading about Congress bills can be dry, so here’s a quick thread on the eight bills (among 2,000 - according to Al Jazeera English) introduced since Trump took office in January.

I will update this post with a link explaining each bill - which has far-reaching and devastating consequences for Americans, especially low-income Americans - in a very short bit.

Protest march covers Black Lives Matter hot spots from Capitol Hill to youth jail to Midtown Center

Around 2,000 people gathered Saturday night at Seattle Central for a Black Lives Matter protest that ended up covering a lot of mileage — and a lot of issues — with stops at a multitude…

SEATTLE REPORTBACK!

[awbrainno]

I’m shocked, SHOCKED, I SAY, that people have doxxed the fascist, Richard Spencer. Not only have they released his email address: Richard Spencer: [email protected] which is bad enough - but they’ve ALSO revealed that his HOME ADDRESS is 98 Elk Highlands Drive Whitefish, MT 59937 I mean GOSH, people could do really IRRESPONSIBLE things with information like that! Please, I BEG you, remember that when they go low, we go high! And certainly don’t do anything to the apartment in Alexandria, VA that Spencer is renting as a “headquarters” for his racist chums. You know, the one at 1001 King St Alexandria, VA 22314 Phone number: 571-239-2797 I mean GOSH that would be just terrible. Please warn others not to irresponsibly act on this information by copying and pasting, rather than sharing!

Here’s a lil’ manual put together by some fine people in Portland.  It’s not super-great in terms of security stuff and, since we’re not lawyers, please don’t construe our posting of this as legal advice, but a lot of interesting ideas in here that are undoubtedly adaptable to your neighborhood!

Arizona Senate votes to seize assets of those who plan, participate in protests that turn violent

Claiming people are being paid to riot, Republican state senators voted Wednesday to give police new power to arrest anyone who is involved in a peaceful demonstration that may turn bad — even before anything actually happened.

FUCKING WHAT?

Okaaaaaaay I think at this point it’s time to move past the “signs of fascism” stage to “hey everybody fascism is here, fascism already took its shoes off and is jumping on the bed with an open jar of spaghetti sauce.”

The Trump team put out a survey a while ago about the mainstream media. Apparently they didn’t like the answers so they sent it out again but only to Trump supporters.

Here’s the link so you can let them know what you think about the mainstream media.

[reproductivejusticeandliberty]

This is still the worst survey I’ve ever seen in my life, but fuck it up again. A survey’s not a survey if you only give it to people who’ll give you the answers you want to your leading questions. Also, this survey does require some personal information, but if it’s like the last one, you can make up fake ones and it’ll accept them. -V

FUCK ‘EM UP

[cyran9]

Oh hell no. I took your first survey and laughed at the ridiculous amount of bias in your questions. I will take it again because apparently you can’t handle the truth.

I am so sick of the misinformation going around about Standing Rock. To begin with DAPL was set to go through a town called Bismarck, a town that is mostly white. The people of this town expressed concern for the pipeline leaking, and said they didn’t want it.

When the pipleline was re-routed, it was set up to go through land that belongs to the Standing Rock Sioux. For those who don’t know what I mean by “belongs to” because “Oh me oh my, this is American land,” no, it isn’t. Not all of it. There is land that belongs to different Native tribes. Including part of the land that the pipeline will be going through. This was not done with permission. How was this done? This was done by bulldozing up the graves of ancestors. (If that doesn’t bother you, read it as the graves of our veterans; the graves of our presidents’ families; the graves of your family.)

Outside of the media finally watching us for the last six months, the camps have been there before that. I know someone who was there on April 1, 2016. That’s well before the media started paying attention in August. Well before. The camps have been self-sustaining. Yes, there have been donations. Yes, donations were made in physical items, money for items, and money for legal funds. That money and those items went to keeping something beautiful alive.

People who were arrested had numbers written on their arms, they were kept in dog cages. Protectors who were peacefully in prayer had untrained dogs set on them to attack. There are photos floating around of one trainer who couldn’t keep her dog, who had blood in its mouth, under control. In sub-zero conditions in the early morning protectors were hosed down with freezing water - this includes the elderly and children. (Yes, there were children. Guess what, they were getting schooled there. Self sustaining.) Police shot bean bags, rubber bullets, and flash-bang bombs into the crowds. A woman had her arm blown to pieces because of this. 

At every point since the beginning, there has only been peace on our end. No rioting, no fire, no weapons, no alcohol, no drugs; nothing but peace. And from the end of law enforcement has been violence. Even residents had been violent, and police did nothing to them. But they sure as hell arrested people from camp for praying - a nonviolent act.

If you are not Native, you don’t get to dictate what happens on our lands. I don’t give a damn if the government does. The government is breaking a treaty right now, ignoring tribal sovereignty. Just because they do it, does not mean you get to. I don’t care how tired you are of hearing about it. We’re tired of having our lands stolen and having our rights violated. 

[sofarawayy-deactivated20210922]

Please boost this. I’m tired of the propaganda being spread with the intent of bigots and settlers to erase Native voices and justify colonial violence. Also realize alot of this even beyond the pipeline, is settlers acting out of pure anti Native hatred. People don’t understand unless they have lived in the Midwest, just how deep white supremacy is there.

Remember when Hillary said Trump would create a white supremacist resurgence and the pundits tsk tsked her for going off message

[brainstatic]

Remember when Hillary said Trump was working either for or with the Russian government and the pundits said “both sides have their conspiracy theories.”

[brainstatic]

Remember when Hillary gave a speech talking about economic concerns unique to women of color and no one outside her dedicated press pool reported on it because Trump tweeted something stupid that day. 

[brainstatic]

Remember when Hillary said Trump presented a threat to the free press that rvialed any third world dictator and pundits yelled at her for not holding more press conferences. 

[brainstatic]

Remember when Hillary gave a big speech about her economic policy and NBC ran a chyron that said “Hillary tries to move past her email troubles.”

[lauralot89]

Remember when Hillary wasn’t an orange fascist dictator-to-be surrounding herself with white supremacists and yes-men and people said she was no different from Trump

I’m finding these stickers around town. The url is www. tightrope. cc This is not okay.

[thegoombs]

If you want to take them down only do so with another object (something you can scrape it away with). Do not use your bare hands. There have been cases in the past of sickos putting razor blades and sharp objects behind posters and stickers like this to hurt whoever tries to take them down. I’m sorry you had to see this garbage. Stay safe out there.
