Ben Greenberg"[Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club] has been active in defending events like all-ages #DragBrunches and storytimes, where far-right groups attempt to intimidate and menace people in attendance, as well as those defending them. For the account to be suspended two days after the massacre at #ClubQ—which was due to host an all-ages drag brunch the day after the shooting—seems, at best, like one bad #moderation call among many." /by @melissagira https://newrepublic.com/article/169112/elon-musk-anti-trans-twitter-john-br
I didn't know anything about @efjbgc till I read that article by @melissagira. It resonates with 1960s Black armed self defense groups like the #DeaconsForDefense, #LowndesCountyFreedomOrganization and the #BlackPanthers
@efjbgc @melissagira especially reminds me of the #DeaconsForDefense who stood guard outside meetings of non violent resistance groups like #CORE in #Jonesboro, La., so they could safely conduct their business. cf "This #Nonviolent Stuff′ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the #CivilRights MovementPossible" by #CharlesCobb
