Far right ideologies thrive on unfounded claims. Despite countless recordings of fascists boasting about committing crimes and tweets from the President, fascists continue to spread conspiracy theories that antifascists are responsible for the lives threatened on January 6th.

This, intentionally or not, serves several purposes. The first is to displace blame for their violence so that they are not held responsible for their actions.

The second is to further demonize antifascists and point the blame on their political enemies.

Plz indulge our little Cassandra moment here in a *THREAD* discussing some dynamics in the pre-Trump years, the rebirth of the right in the Obama era, & how at that time antifa was a tiny handful of folks largely unsupported by the wider left.

This is to stress the importance of preventative antifa.

As the end of Trump‘s term is imminent, there will likely be many who move on from antifa work. It is v important that at least some ppl continue doing this even if the Far Right does recede (a big “if” ofc).

Many leftists recognize Trump as a symptom, but usually of general American cultural/political pathology (which, fair enough). But also Trumpism is more specifically the product of v intentional, multi-level Far Right organizing turbocharged by the election of a black man.

@WANaziWatch

Thanks to a leaked chat publicized by @WANaziWatch, we'd like to introduce you to West Sound Proud Boy vetting officer Mike Babbitt of Bremerton, WA. A former Idaho cop and former DOD contractor in the Middle East, Mike organized West Sound PB attendees in Olympia yesterday.

More information about the PBs that Mike organized to attend the violent fascist rally in Olympia yesterday can be found here:

Mike likes to supplement his taste for domestic fascist violence with racist and Islamophobic statements stemming from his experiences violently occupying other countries!

“The Shamash lights the other candles. Be the Shamash.”
-Rabbi David Wolpe

Hanukkah at Coordination Committee Orphanage (Poland, 1948). The children had been hidden by non-Jewish families during the war.

US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Yad Vashem Archives.

Anti-semitism is an issue that has often been misunderstood or underestimated by the US Left. It remains a central organizing principle of the right as is clear from the popular QANON conspiracy theory, and incidents like the Tree of Life synagogue shooting.

Almost any time that antisemitism as an issue is raised, there will be a response regarding Israel's human rights abuses against Palestinians. Treating the Jewish diaspora & the Israeli state as a singular entity is in fact a relic of an old anti-semitic narrative: dual loyalty.

We've created a zine reviewing a number of prominent individuals associated with the far-right group "COPS NW" that local folks should be aware of right now. Images of all the pages (Cover and page 1 below) are in the following thread, but if you want a .pdf copy, just email us!

Pages 2 and 3, featuring Audra Price and Timothy Ryerson. And yeah, we chose the picture of her wearing the tiara because she does very regularly wear it out and about to actions...
