  • The Threat to Rojava: An Anarchist in Syria Speaks on the Real Meaning of Trump’s Withdrawal
    "While authoritarians of various stripes seek to cloud the issue, giving a NATO member a green light to invade Syria is what is “pro-war” and “imperialist.” Speaking as an anarchist, my goal is not to talk about what the US military should do. It is to discuss how US military policy impacts people and how we ought to respond."

  • Stabbed at a neo-Nazi rally, called a criminal: how police targeted a black activist | The Guardian
    Donovan Ayres doing some bang-up police work for the racist faction of the California Highway Patrol.

    "Michael German, a former FBI agent, said the Sacramento case was part of a pattern of police in the US siding with far-right groups and targeting their critics. 'They have been trained to look into these counter-protesters as if they are the primary threat.'"

  • My Effing First Amendment - This American Life
    This American Life did a good bit on a free speech kerfuffle at the University of Nebraska where a sincere and sympathetic teenager tabling for the right-wing Turning Point USA was confronted and berated by a staff member/grad student for being a 'neofascist Becky'. But the program does not merely paint TPUSA in a sympathetic light, it also points out some ways in which the rights of white students are disproportionately protected.

    The program also strongly implies that the grad student in question (who was removed from her teaching position after the incident) is affiliated with the activist group (or 'brand' for lack of a better term) called Betsy Riot. It looks like a liberal antifascist and anti-gun group which describes its members as "feminist patriots" and "punk patriots" (so maybe emphasis on the liberal). https://betsyriot.com/
