We’re a shooting sports club with abolitionist values. We are not a security agency. We are not a militia.

Okay folks, thread time. Shit’s bad and it looks sincerely like it’s going to get worse. When you’re standing in a boat in the middle of a swamp full of gators, which one do you deal with first? The one closest to the boat. 🧵 Image Everyone is rightly freaking out about Project 2025, but the plan makes it clear that some people will be more severely impacted sooner than others. We’ll all suffer, everyone’s lives will get worse, but only some of us will be in immediate danger.

Okay. So we’re going to step out on a limb here and TELL folks a thing. Please understand this comes from experience and is not a how to but a what to.

Student protestors: YOU NEED TO HAVE A PLAN FOR AFTER GRADUATION. NOW. An image of an alarm clock with the shadow of the grim reaper behind it. If colleges were smart, and had tolerance for dissent, they’d let you all be defeated by time. Graduation happens, you have to go home or even want to, some folks stay but they can arrest those smaller numbers and they don’t have to deal with anything until the fall.

The full video is harrowing. The bonks are funny, the video much less so. Some tips if anyone will see them. 1) Steal the shields. They’re tools you can use and cops aren’t usually sure what to do when they’re pulled by them.
2) Practice chants that synchronize movement. In DC on D12 we pushed the cops out of George Floyd Plaza with a wall of shields.

This blew up a bit so let’s talk a bit more about it. Warning, we’re going to use the word community a lot. To be clear, the broad strokes here are right - Americans have short memories, elders get arrested, burnt out, or tired of not being listened to, and the real lessons of the past are intentionally masked by capitalist propaganda.

Mental health professional CTJBGC member here, and we need to have a talk about “mental illness” in the context of Jordan Neely. So here’s a 🧵 Image Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, from communists to liberals to conservatives and so called moderates have covered this story by noting that Jordan was in a “mental health crisis” or “mentally ill.” What evidence do we have of this?

We got tagged and alerted to this but wanted to dig a bit first. The ending is that all but one child was released to their care givers after an hour of being held without cause by cops. It’s unknown the status of the child that was held longer at this time. This is actually not meaningful escalation; Texas and Florida both have laws allowing the state to kidnap trans children. What this is should be a redrawing of the battle lines. The legislature is lost to us, and your choice to walk in knowing you can’t win endangers your child.

As things get worse we’re about to enter an economy of trust. How do you know who to trust? Who trusts you? Who can you turn to when you need (insert life saving care the fascists made illegal here)? Let’s talk a bit about it. A 🧵 These economies already exist, but if you’re suddenly marginalized in a way you’re not used to, you may not be connected to them at all. So where to turn? Start close to home and work out. The trans friend, the girlfriend of your buddy who volunteers at the abortion clinic… 2/7

How to Start a John Brown Gun Club - A🧵: We’ve gotten a bunch of questions today from folks about joining a JBGC. Sometimes the answer is that there is nothing local to the person asking and so our reflexive response is: Start one! 1/ The most common follow up is, “Who do I have to talk to about starting a chapter?” And the answer is no one. All the JBGC’s are autonomous organizations. We are organized primarily by anarchist principles and share only a mission and a namesake. 2/

We spend a lot of time focused on fascists in khaki’s and balaclava’s with sonnenrad tattoos and flag. But some of the most dangerous fascists have suits and upper middle class means. Image Some of them came and tried to intimidate femme presenting folks and were quickly and calmly forced out by us and our comrades in @rijbgc and @baystatejbgc There is no freedom more central than bodily autonomy. We will fight to make sure people maintain it.
