    RE: https://kolektiva.social/@alissaazar/117395826808967100 One of the largest gatherings of leading neo-Nazis and white nationalists in the US was exposed and disrupted in #Portland a few days ago.

    &quot;The 427-page document recommending “terrorist” designations for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its Florida chapter was approved over the course of just 30 seconds at DeSantis’s cabinet meeting on Tuesday, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Contained within the approved packet, submitted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, were also recommendations for “antifa” and dozens of other groups already named as foreign terrorist organizations b...

    &quot;Protesters demanded the release of a man who was shot by an immigration official from the South Texas Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing Center in Pearsall on Sunday. “We’re demanding that he get surgery to remove that bullet,” organizer David Torres said, “and we’re demanding the detention centers close, and deportations must stop.” Tensions rose about 10 minutes after the protest began when law enforcement instructed protesters to not block the street. Officers soon pushed...

    &quot;On Tuesday, students from all five district high schools participated in a walkout pushing for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stay out of Austin. This comes after an ICE agent shot and injured Wilber Rafael Garces Perez on Sunday in the 8000 block of Anderson Square in North Austin.&quot; https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/pflugerville-isd-says-students-anti-172738773.html

    &quot;Camp Animikiiwadiswan, or Thunderbird Nest resistance camp, co-led by Loonsfoot and Anahkwet, is their inter-tribal, three-dimensional answer to a proposed copper sulfide mine that would generate copious amounts of toxic waste — an estimated 40 millions tons of mining tailings — in a high-risk location. The project, which Loonsfoot’s tribe has vehemently opposed, is set to be financed by a contentious $50 million taxpayer subsidy in the form of “site readiness” grants to Copperwood Resourc...

    &quot;As opponents of fascism, we have several responsibilities. The first is to build a mass collective resistance to the state’s assault on anti-fascist and anti-capitalist movements. The second is to rally our communities against far-right attempts to take the streets, so they cannot rebuild their capacity to inflict violence. The third is to thwart fascist efforts to engage in entryism targeting the emerging social struggles against AI, data centers, and Flock surveillance cameras. These ar...

    &quot;I’m known as The Minnesota “Spiderman”, and I’m asking for help after a violent incident in downtown Minneapolis on August 22. That day, racist supremacists invaded our streets and threatened the peace of our community. I tried to block their trucks’ path with a police barricade, but police removed it and let them through. As the vehicle moved toward the crowd, I jumped onto the moving truck because I felt I had to do whatever I could to protect the people around me. I was pushed off, punc...

    &quot;It’s another example of how quickly Meta dropped its once-stricter content moderation policies when Donald Trump returned to the White House. Shortly before his second inauguration, Meta loosened its standards around hate speech, particularly on topics like gender identity and immigration, two of the far right’s favorite issues.&quot; https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-caught-paying-nazis-to-post-on-facebook

    &quot;So far in the US, Futurism has counted at least 37 arrests stemming from protests related to data centers this year. There were an additional 12 cases where police intervened to prevent protestors or speakers from confronting civic leaders, though in reality that number is likely much higher, as these cases aren’t as likely to make the news.&quot; https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/regular-people-data-center-arrest-protest

    &quot;Hundreds of protesters headed to Blue Ash on Sunday to rally outside of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility as Haitians were called in for check-ins at the facility following the termination of their Temporary Protected Status, organizers Ignite Peace and the Miami Valley Immigration Coalition said. On social media, the coalition said that more than 500 people lined the streets around the ICE facility, which is located at the corner of Kenwood Road and Malsbary Road.&quot;...

    More than 1K people came out and hit the streets of Fishers, #Indiana, in direct opposition to former DHS official and fascist saluting white supremacist Greg Bovino speaking at an anti-immigrant rally alongside GOP bureaucrats. The fascist rally drew less than 100 in a pathetic muddy field.

    &quot;The Minneapolis–St. Paul area has become a focal point of resistance to federal immigration enforcement, with sustained demonstrations following intensified ICE operations across the region. In June 2026, federal authorities arrested 15 members and associates of Direct Action Minnesota, bringing national attention to the movement. GrayStak contributor Andy Thayer sat down with two of the defendants, Callum “Cal” Robinette and Isaac Sant. Framed as an activist-to-activist conversation rath...

    &quot;ICE’s killings of Guerrero and Salgado Araujo also share the cruelty used in the fatal shooting of Renée Good in Minneapolis. ICE officers also claimed that Good tried to “weaponize” her car against them, justifying their use of lethal force. “Weaponizing” one’s vehicle seems to be the government’s go-to excuse for lethal force. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin reportedly used the same terminology to justify ICE fatally shooting Guerrero. Yet, it’s the ICE officers who are turn...

The shooting occurred just outside the facil...

    &quot;Defeated on the streets by enraged demonstrators who have successfully resisted Trump’s storm troopers everywhere that they have invaded, and stymied when they have brought individual cases against the protesters, the government has now resorted, with mixed success, to broad disruptive conspiracy prosecutions that harken back to the Smith Act prosecutions of alleged Communists in the 1950s and the prosecutions of the New Left and the Black Panthers in the late 1960s. This escalating attack...

Hannah Kass, Katie Kloth, and Tyler Norman, called the “Cobb County 3” by supporte...
