Atlanta Antifascists stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine. We condemn all targeting of civilians in war, no matter what nationality or religion. We have no sympathy for Hamas, whose original atlantaantifa.org

Thanks, this question is a great opportunity to articulate an antifascist principle in the tradition of ARA and the Torch Network. One of our basic principles is, "we go where they go" which means we follow fascists wherever they go, both physically and information-wise. (1/13) "We go where they go" means both physical space and information space. Fascists should never feel secure on home ground and should never have a safe space. In the modern day, they recruit and propagandize on Gab, Twitter, Telegram, even Roblox. We follow them there. (2/13)

New article on the "Nations in Action" conference at the Georgia Tech Conference this weekend containing a deep dive on many terrible speakers (including virulent antisemites and literal piss drinkers) and their GOP political connections. This should never have been approved. These speakers are not just harmless cranks: they're pushing conspiracies with a body count (like QAnon and "sovereign citizens") and peddling fake COVID cures.

Hey @GeorgiaTech, who approved this application for a deranged far right conference at your center on July 1st? "Nations in Crisis" is obviously full of QAnon-adjacent antivaxxers, election denialists, antisemitic conspiracists, and contains dangerous sovereign citizen elements. Speaker Lineup for "Nations in Crisis" a far right For more about sovereign citizens, a longstanding and often violent ideology where far right grifters prey on unstable people and sell them seminars on how to defy government regulations, read the Wikipedia or SPLC publications: 1)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign… 2)splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

📢Group of 12 Proud Boys spotted around 5:15pm near Liberty Plaza near the Capitol downtown, wearing mostly black T-shirts with jeans or khaki pants, and black gaiter masks or yellow bandana masks, carrying PB flags, currently splitting up into smaller groups. Aside from Stop the Steal in 2020, Piss Boys haven't been spotted as a group in the ATL metro since 2018. This is probably a choreographed event bringing in PBs from outside Atlanta.

CBS46 story on the counter-mobilization against the Sons of Confederate Veterans at Stone Mountain, April 30.

CBS46 gave equal space to Atlanta NAACP's President & Martin O'Toole of the SCV, failing to mention O'Toole's decades of white nationalist & Holocaust-denial organizing. By omitting that Martin Kenneth O'Toole is a longtime white nationalist leader -- and that he's the keynote speaker for the Sons of Confederate Veterans' April 30 rally -- @CBS46 normalizes racist organizing and sanitizes the SCV's white power ties.

Before reinventing himself as a preppier white nationalist, Allen Michael Goff was a key figure in the Montana Front & the Creativity Movement, where he organized for "racial holy war".

Goff got off on a 2010 shooting after a judge disallowed evidence of his racist commitments. (He was fined and got a small fine for his concealed weapon: billingsgazette.com/news/local/cri…)

Goff was arrested later the same year for pointing a firearm at & threatening to kill another person.

The "Christian Veterans United" conference featuring Jew- and women-hater Roosh Valizadeh has now been canceled.

Image Michael Robillard referred to a "business partner" and veteran, "David Wilson," who was helping bring Valizadeh to metro ATL. archive.is/qMIch

"David Wilson" is a conveniently common name. Someone with that name may have been involved but Jason seemed to do the real work. Image
