On the 4th October, 1936, the British Union of Fascists had planned a march to the East End of London. Despite the petition of East Londoners, with 100,000 signatures over two days, the Home Office declined to ban the march. Authorities refused to allow a counter-march by the Ex-Servicemen's Movement Against Fascism, because the fascists had organised their march first.On the day, around 3,000 fascists turned up for the march, protected by more than double that number in police.The fascists and police were resisted by over ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND anti-fascists who erected barricades, chanting "They Shall Not Pass". Police attempted to dismantle the barricades and clear a path for the fascists, and were pelted with rotten vegetables, and the contents of chamber-pots thrown from upstairs residents.There's a damn good reason why fascism had a hard time establishing itself in the UK; I'm pretty sure it wasn't the government nor the police.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cable_Street" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cable_Street">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cable_Street</a><a href="/tags/fascism/" rel="tag">#fascism</a> <a href="/tags/antifa/" rel="tag">#antifa</a>

The people of East London rallied in Cable Street on the 4th October 1936 and forced back the march of the fascist Orwald Mosley and his Blackshirts through the streets of the East End.

What happened to Renee Nicole Good is not an anomaly or a rare phenomenon. The only unusual factor is that she was white.A Black man named Keith Porter was shot & killed by ICE on New Year’s Eve.Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. She survived but has a hole in her arm forever.Silverio Villegas González was shot dead in Franklin Park Illinois when he panicked and tried to run.Then there’s the more than 30 people who’ve died in the camps.No accountability. No punishment. Keep speaking out. Let’s make sure this officer is held responsible. <a href="/tags/abolishice/" rel="tag">#abolishice</a> <a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#ice</a> <a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#uspol</a> <a href="/tags/minneapolis/" rel="tag">#minneapolis</a> <a href="/tags/fascism/" rel="tag">#fascism</a> <a href="/tags/immigration/" rel="tag">#immigration</a> <a href="/tags/reneenicolegood/" rel="tag">#reneenicolegood</a>

As a trans woman, I often find myself struggling to properly articulate the real purpose of modern Pig Empire fascism's eliminationist campaign against trans people and anyone else who doesn't fit into the heteronormative binary on which their fragile, but wholly malevolent and dominance based conception of masculinity rests. On one hand it would be a gross misrepresentation to say that fascists, the political actors driving their movements, and the rich people paying for modern nazism don't really hate trans people and wish to eradicate the public existence of trans identities, because they absolutely do. On the other hand however it would also be a grave mistake to forget that these people foundationally "use the whole cow" and their pogrom against the existence of trans people is also intentionally acting as a type of skeleton key to justify and facilitate a larger eliminationist agenda that revolves around purging their political enemies, removing civil rights and buttressing support for important ideological planks in the fascist platform - like violent nationalism, colonial extraction, white supremacy, eugenicist ableism, patriarchal dominance and so forth. Indeed, while the fascists certainly do hate trans people and any sort of gender nonconformity, their decision to make anti-trans hate the tip of the fascist spear in a war for control pretty much comes down to the fact that trans people aren't particular numerous, visible, or empowered in our society, which itself has been mainlining normalized transphobic ideology for decades. It's much easier to convince people to hate folks they don't know in everyday life, and the pre-existing marginalization of trans people ensures that these pogroms can be abstract and ideological in a way that greases the path for violent eliminationism more effectively. We are, to put it succinctly, an easy gateway target for fascist repression that in turn can be used to expand the sphere of fascist influence and allow for the elimination of much larger portions of the population down the line by repurposing the justifications for repressions of trans people in a very "first they came for" sort of way. While all of this is difficult to explain to folks not directly in the fascist crosshairs at any given moment, it's not all that hard to see this principle in action when empowered fascists are able to exercise control over our laws and state structures. Which is why I was utterly unsurprised to learn that American fascists in governments all over the United States are now using their actualized anti-trans pogrom to push a eugenicist agenda designed to target the rights, protections, and threadbare support programs for disabled Americans pretty much anywhere they control the government.<a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/suit-over-gender-dysphoria-could-dismantle-disability-rights/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/suit-over-gender-dysphoria-could-dismantle-disability-rights/">https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/suit-over-gender-dysphoria-could-dismantle-disability-rights/</a>Suit Over Gender Dysphoria Could Dismantle New Disability Rules"But gender dysphoria is just part of the 130-page federal rule. It also protects disabled parents’ rights in child welfare cases and prevents hospitals from using disability as a factor in determining who gets care in crisis situations, such as equipment shortages during a pandemic. It adds Long Covid to the list of conditions that may constitute a disability and strengthens protections against unnecessary institutionalization, requiring that care be offered in the least restrictive setting and, ideally, in a patient’s community. Striking down the entire rule would have wide-reaching implications for all disabled Americans and other marginalized groups who rely on federal agencies’ interpretations of decades-old laws to enforce their rights, says Mia Ives-Rublee, senior director of the Center for American Progress’ Disability Justice Initiative. “They’re utilizing LGBTQ issues as a wedge,” Ives-Rublee says. “The attack is really about the regulatory process of the federal government, and this will impact almost every interaction that a disabled person has with the services and supports that they receive.”As I've written many times in the past, fascism isn't ultimately a violent chud rush similar to what we say during the January 6th 2021 coup (or autogolpe if you prefer) attempt by Trump supporters, so much as a legalist doctrine enforced by empowered nazis and the state at their disposal; a sort of violent game of "Simon Says" with prison camps and pogroms. The use of politically activated anti-trans sentiment to eliminate protections for disabled people isn't a bug in the fascist program but rather an intended feature; and it certainly won't be the last legalist application of fascist ideology if this movement continues to accumulate power in our society. Cis people should of course oppose the fascist anti-trans pogrom in action because it's the right thing to do, but also because you can bet your bottom dollar that it won't, and isn't stopping after they drive trans people out of public life - you and yours may well be next. <a href="/tags/transrights/" rel="tag">#TransRights</a> <a href="/tags/fascism/" rel="tag">#Fascism</a> <a href="/tags/ableism/" rel="tag">#Ableism</a> <a href="/tags/pogrom/" rel="tag">#Pogrom</a> <a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#USPol</a> <a href="/tags/gop/" rel="tag">#GOP</a> <a href="/tags/eugenics/" rel="tag">#Eugenics</a>

The two sides of my sign for the protest this afternoon. Not the prettiest sign, but the message is clear. <a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#ice</a> <a href="/tags/fascism/" rel="tag">#fascism</a> <a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#uspol</a> <a href="/tags/indivisible/" rel="tag">#indivisible</a>

At the top, big blue word “ICE” with a red line through it. Below that “NO KIDNAP” and “NO MURDER”.

Text on sign is “due process for ALL”, with the word “all” in bigger redder bolder letters.

Ventura County definitely hit hard today with ICE raids.Crowdsourced site of sightings. Maybe worth starting to TOR this stuff IMHO.My thoughts with the families of all the folks who were snatched off our streets today 🙏 <a href="https://padlet.com/PeopleoverPapers/people-over-papers-anonymous-anonimo-lf0l47ljszbto2uj" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="padlet.com/PeopleoverPapers/people-over-papers-anonymous-anonimo-lf0l47ljszbto2uj">https://padlet.com/PeopleoverPapers/people-over-papers-anonymous-anonimo-lf0l47ljszbto2uj</a><a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#ICE</a> <a href="/tags/fascism/" rel="tag">#Fascism</a>

I think Hegseth quoting fake bible passages from Pulp Fiction, presumably because he doesn't know they're made up, perfectly illustrates the role of religion in right wing extremist politics. It's a tool to control the masses. Nothing more.In that respect, I am in 100% agreement with the pope.I'm an atheist, but I grew up in a Christian community. US and Israeli violence is not in line with the core message. (Although there are people in my old community who supports them.)<a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#USPol</a> <a href="/tags/fascism/" rel="tag">#Fascism</a>

Tad Stoermer Professor of the history of resistance"All meaningful change in America has come with a body count. The bodies of those who were the victims of abusive authority & those who fought to end it. Because the awful truth about resistance is that abusive authority does not stop. When it gains control it uses it & the more it uses, the more it wants. It's a physical law. It will not stop unless it is stopped. It cannot be persuaded.

Last February, the Texas Observer investigation revealed the identity of James Rodden, an <a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#ICE</a> attorney who operates an openly white supremacist account on X.
