Tonight, we are tabling at the Godspeed You! Black Emperor show at the aptly named venue, The Chapel, in San Francisco.

We are grateful for the deeply moving music they have made over the years.

In bill HB4378, Texas has essentially released a bounty on drag.

This would offer a $5,000 bounty for hunters if a person performs while "exhibiting a gender that is different from gender recorded at birth" and "violates the community standards of decency."

This intentionally vague bill
could easily be turned against trans performers. It could even ban a trans person singing karaoke and possibly even pride altogether.

This bill defines drag as "a performance in which a performer exhibits a gender that is different than the performer's gender recorded at birth using clothing, makeup, or other physical markers and sings, lip syncs, dances, or otherwise performs in a lascivious manner before an audience.”

Another section of this bill “LIABILITY FOR DRAG PERFORMANCE IN PRESENCE OF MINOR,” states that an individual who attends a drag performance as a minor may bring an action against anyone who participates as a performer in a drag performance, including people who promoted it or conducted it.

Anti-LGBTQ & anti-trans legislature is sweeping the nation in almost every state, currently with 391 proposed anti-LGBTQ bills nationwide. At the moment, there are 40 states that have proposed anti-trans bills, with at least 68 that have been signed into law. There is only one language our politicians understand. There has to be consequences to their fascist behavior. It is crucial that people understand the importance of this fight. This is a full on war against trans people. All of these bills being proposed and even advancing are an elimination of recognition and a limitation on access to care for ALL trans people. These laws are not only to ensure entire groups of people have no rights, they want to eliminate queer & trans people entirely. This is genocide.

Just weeks ago, grift-lord and far-Right troll Andy Ngo went on Tucker Carlson to push the lie to millions that "climate activists" were behind a series of recent attacks on the electrical grid, while he complained on Twitter that 'antifa' was rushing to link recent attacks on the electric grid to the far-Right - which in reality were carried out by burglars.

Today law enforcement arrested members of the neo-Nazi group, the Atomwaffen Division, for plotting to attack substations in the Baltimore area. Read VICE article here: https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5v4pq/baltimore-power-grid-attack-arrest-atomwaffen

One of those arrested, Brandon Russell, has already been imprisoned for possessing explosives and plotting to carry out a 'dirty bomb' attack with radioactive materials. A raid on Russell's apartment in 2017 found bomb making materials and a framed picture of Oklahoma bomber, Timothy McVeigh.

Read our report about Russell's initial arrest - which almost didn't happen, as police initially let him go, back in 2017: https://itsgoingdown.org/how-cops-let-neo-nazi-leader-found-with-dirty-bomb-walk-away/

Grifters like Tucker and Ngo exist to give space to groups like Atomwaffen to carry out their violence against the public by downplaying the threat that they serve, mainstreaming their neo-Nazi talking points, and pointing the finger of blame back on those who would oppose them on the Left.

Nazi Hippie "Biome" Erickson has been confirmed dead after flipping his Mercedes. He was responsible for organizing a covid denial network that united Nazis, hippies, and conservatives in Jackson county.
