As repression ramps up in #Atlanta against the #StopCopCity movement, we spoke with several people involved in the fight to #DefendJ20 and how collective solidarity pushed back on the State's attempts to railroad hundreds of protesters with over 80 years in prison.

Lessons from #DefendJ20 on Building Movement Defense Against Repression

On this episode of the It's Going Down podcast, we host a discussion on lessons learned from the support campaign to defend J20 defendants, who faced up to 80 years in prison due to conspiracy charges steaming from a march that took place during Trump's inauguration in 2017. Our guests include one person who was...

"The organizers also repeatedly stated that the event was peaceful, though online chats in a related Telegram group show members discussing “exterminating” migrants. A known white nationalist who was kicked out of the People’s Convoy in 2022, Ryan Sanchez, is among those most active in the group. Sanchez was previously a Marine Corp reservist who says he was kicked out after he was reported to have been demonstrating alongside the Rise Above Movement, an alt-right street-fighting group that took part in the neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, which led to the death of one counterprotester.

But on the first day of the convoy, some attendees woke up to find their tires slashed, according to one of the main livestreamers who posted pictures on X of the cars outside a motel. The meeting point also had to be hastily rearranged on Monday morning when the owners of the original location told the organizers they couldn’t gather there."

The ‘Take Our Border Back’ Convoy Is Already a Complete Mess

Instead of immigrants, the group of extremists mostly battled each other, paranoia, and their GPS systems.

Donate to Support Family of Klee Benally and Beyond

Several days ago, "Indigenous land defender, agitator, warrior, artist, child of mother earth," Klee Benally passed away. Klee leaves us with an inspiring legacy of anti-colonial "claws out" revolt, thought, and action against settler-colonial society and its defenders that we must all work to build upon. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and...

Everyone who has been saving up their Henry Kissinger bile, waiting for that ghoul to die: now is your moment.
Henry Kissinger was a collection of war crimes in a trench coat. He died many decades too late, beloved by generations of the ruling class across the political spectrum, proving that the only thing they really care about is power.
🤮​

How to describe Kissinger, according to major news organizations:

BBC: "sometimes controversial"

Reuters: "diplomat and Nobel winner"

CNN: "a dominating and polarizing force"

Politico: "America's most famous diplomat"

NBC News: "former US Secretary of State"

NYT: "shaped Cold War history"

Wall Street Journal: "helped forge US Policy"

AP News: "ex-secretary of state"

CNBC: "towering American diplomat"

ABC News: "former secretary of state and presidential advisor"

France 24: "giant of statecraft"

The Hill: "American dipolomat"

Washington Post: "shaped world affairs under two presidents"

NPR: "..." [updated to: "legendary diplomat and foreign policy scholar"]

COWARDS. All of you. THIS is a headline:

Rolling Stone: "War Criminal Beloved by America's Ruling Class"

“No infamy will find Kissinger on a day like today. Instead, in a demonstration of why he was able to kill so many people and get away with it, the day of his passage will be a solemn one… Not once in the half-century that followed Kissinger’s departure from power did the millions the United States killed matter for his reputation, except to confirm a ruthlessness that pundits occasionally find thrilling. America, like every empire, champions its state murderers.” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/henry-kissinger-war-criminal-dead-1234804748/
