Banners again hit the freeways of #Austin, #Texas today.

How do anarchists respond to the #Mexican state recuperating the legacy of revolutionary anarchist, Ricardo Flores Magón? @susurros sits down with Jamie, who speaks on how social movements are attempting to reclaim Magon's memory.

Several neo-Nazi groups, including Patriot Front, the Aryan Freedom Network, and American Nationalist Initiative were met with opposition from antifascists and the LGBTQ+ community in #GrandPrairie, #Texas. Members of @efjbgc were also on hand and provided armed community self-defense.

Nazis threw up Hitler salutes and screamed anti-LGBT slurs. Some flew flags with Nazi symbols and wore swastika patches. Groups like American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property stood side by side these white supremacists.

Like many far-Right drag protests in #Texas, which bring together Christian Nationalists and neo-Nazis, the far-Right rally was organized by Kelly Neidert, a self-identified "Christian fascist." Neidert has a long history of organizing rallies that are also attended by Proud Boys and various Hitler saluting neo-Nazi groups.

Hundreds out in the streets of #Atlanta marching to #StopCopCity and against repression of forest defenders.

In recent days, police and law enforcement have attempted to paint those opposed to Cop City as "outside agitators."

We spoke with Akela Lacy from @theintercept about our recent ban from Twitter.

On November 25, at the urging of a far-right troll, Elon Musk banned the @CrimethInc Twitter account.

Musk’s goal in acquiring Twitter had nothing to do with “free speech”—it was a partisan move to silence opposition, paving the way for fascist violence. https://crimethinc.com/2022/11/25/elon-musk-bans-crimethinc-from-twitter-on-request-from-far-right-troll

With Facebook losing billions and Musk launching a hostile takeover of Twitter, is there an opening for non-corporate social media alternatives not owned by billionaires and surveillance capital? #Meta #Facebook #ElonMuskIsATroll #ElonMuskBuyTwitter https://itsgoingdown.org/corporate-media-collapse/

A small group of antifascists protected a protest at UC Davis from the #Sacramento Proud Boys, who violently attacked the crowd as police looked on. A report from the ground. https://itsgoingdown.org/antifascists-defend-uc-davis-sacramento-proud-boys/

Between 200-300 people today in #Eugene, #Oregon helped protect a local pub that was hosting an all ages drag event from about 50 far-Right protesters, including Proud Boys and Hitler saluting neo-Nazis. Despite attempts by the far-Right to attack the crowd, the antifascists successfully defended themselves and pushed the fascists back. The far-Right crowed eventually turned tail and went back to their cars.

Eyes on #Alabama today as families will be protesting conditions inside prisons.

Two tears in a bucket, fuck it.

Our Instagram account has been Zucked under the guise of "promoting dangerous individuals and organizations." Our last post was promoting a mutual aid event in Portland.

#Austin, #Texas. Anarchist bookfair, Sunday September 11th.

#SeminoleCounty #Florida

Two right-wing hipsters spent six years making a documentary series for #HBO on 'anarcho'-capitalists living in a resort town in #Mexico. The first episode is centered around a right-wing crypto-bro anti-Semite who pushes conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and features clips from none other than Milo Yiannopoulos and Keith Preston, known for speaking alongside Richard Spencer at white nationalist conferences. Fuck this AnCap trash.
