Alex Stokes is an antifascist in NY recently and absurdly convicted of assaulted after intervening in an attack by armed Proud Boys. In a clear miscarriage of justice, he's been sentenced to 20 years in prison! The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund has intervened to help fund the appeal of his sentence. Full story:

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. (...) Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty."

New report from @UnicornRiot on resistance to an attempt by police and the city of #Minneapolis to evict the Quarry Encampment.

"Quarry residents and advocates held a press conference on Dec. 27 demanding the authorities not evict the encampment and announcing that community would come to defend the residents.

The next day, when the eviction was scheduled to occur, upwards of 100 to 150 encampment defenders showed up to the Quarry over the course of the morning. The city said the eviction was put on hold due to the large activist presence."
