Weltschmerz à Gogo<p>Interview with Prof. Kehinde Andrews about recent (and not so recent) events in the UK:</p><p>I really would have been surprised if [right-wing thugs] had come through London or Birmingham. I got a WhatsApp message saying they were coming through Handsworth in Birmingham, where it’s 80% ethnic minority, and I just knew that was never going to happen.<br>Look, maybe they planned it and then they were cowards, but I just think they were never going to follow through. Realistically you can’t do an English Defence League march through someone else’s neighbourhood! They’d just get a kicking. Cowardice is a huge part of these British KKK types, pick people off when they feel strong, they’re not going to take on a whole community like that.<br>Let me add as well, and I think this is something that’s been hugely underplayed in mainstream discussions, that it’s actually because there was so much racial violence in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s – when I was at school, we’d see National Front signs in people’s windows –&nbsp;precisely because of this racial violence and history, Black and Brown communities rallied together to defend themselves.<br>And so because there’s a history of us defending ourselves, that’s why these far-right racists aren’t going to be coming back to these predominantly Black and Brown areas, where they know they can’t win. It’s not just coincidental, it’s part of our resistance to racism in this country, and it’s a story that’s underplayed. It’s community self-defence which has stopped National Front, English Defence League and all these other incursions.<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antifascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunitySelfDefense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunitySelfDefense</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunitySelfDefence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunitySelfDefence</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EDL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EDL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalFront</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/far-right-riots-black-history-kehinde-andrews/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">opendemocracy.net/en/far-right</span><span class="invisible">-riots-black-history-kehinde-andrews/</span></a></p>

Mr. Mustache<p>If you need MORE reasons to be worried about the world and to be prepared for LOTS of shit people a year ago said was imaginary:</p><p>Under the Supreme Court decision, a President can:<br>1. order the military to take any act, and that is a Core Duty of the presidency, so the President CANNOT be ever be prosecuted for that act.<br>2. Order the Justice Department not to investigate nor prosecute ANYTHING or ANYONE and never be criminally charged for that, and no one can overrule him because..<br>3. The President can remove, arguably via any means he wishes, anyone operating under the Executive Branch as that is a Core Power of the presidency.</p><p>With these three aspects of the ruling a President can literally kill, be bribed, ORDER people to kill, prevent prosecution, literally anything and the only check on their powers...is Congress and the ability to Impeach....and the President can just order anyone who tries killed.</p><p>This is no longer fantasy or hyperbole, this is Settled LAW in the US. </p><p>Plant a garden. Get equipped. Build a community. Train. Build parallel power like the Panthers taught us. </p><p>May the Gods have mercy on us all.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Law</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunitySelfDefense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunitySelfDefense</span></a></p>
Cindy Milstein (they)<p>“It is still happening here.”</p><p>There’s a special joy, a special sweetness, in the first real spring day, when you can throw off your coat and throw on your sneakers, and set off for a blissful walk past now-green grass, blossoms opening up their faces to the sun, and the tiniest of buds-leaves emerging from every tree branch. And you can carry along a book that just reached your mailbox—a book you wrote a blurb for long ago and are so thrilled that it has now finally sprung into the world—to find the perfect spot for a photo to later share here. </p><p>Of course you pick places overflowing with flowers, laying this book down among the purples and yellows—feeling the joy and sweetness of those colors. </p><p>For a brief time, fascism seems far away.</p><p>Spring holds promise. A river follows your footsteps and geese chatter happily nearby. This book holds possibilities—a time of wins. You flip through the pages, filled with not just an inspiring history made by everyday people but also so many rad images. </p><p>Then you glance up to a long wall covered in murals, including one to George Floyd, and are stopped in your tracks, noticing first the swastika x’d out—the remnants of antifascists here before you on these stolen Anishinaabeg lands—and then fascists who, for now, are getting the last word with “fuck antifa.”</p><p>It did happen here; it does happen here; it is happening now in what’s become everyday fascism.</p><p>You have nothing but a book and camera on you. They become the latest layer of antifascism, even if too little. </p><p>And suddenly you think back to when you listened to the It Did Happen Here podcast and couldn’t stop recommending it, knowing its lessons resonate for the present. But that was before the pandemic began, and along with the COVID virus, fascism has virulently spread into its own increasingly deadly pandemic.</p><p>You look down at the book version, It Did Happen Here: An Antiracist People’s History (published by <span class="h-card"><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@pmpress" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>pmpress</span></a></span>) and see a weapon for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunitySelfDefense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunitySelfDefense</span></a> that’s both sharper than ever and, absurdly, tragically, more necessary than when the editors asked you to pen a blurb about its relevance. There’s no joy or sweetness in that.</p><p>Still, if you want a world of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FlowersNotFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FlowersNotFascism</span></a>, this book is essential reading.</p><p><a href="https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&amp;p=1467" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pmpress.org/index.php?l=produc</span><span class="invisible">t_detail&amp;p=1467</span></a></p>

Cindy Milstein (they)<p>It’s doubly impossible tonight to lean into the practice of Shabbat as a time-space of inhabiting “the world to come,” the world we dream of and deserve—Jews and non-Jews alike. </p><p>For one, this is the first Shabbos in the new Jewish month of Adar, which holds out the notion that joy will increase. But what joy can one find in Christian fascists, neo-Nazis, and their fellow brethren calling for a “Day of Hate” against Jews tomorrow, on our Shabbat, with its joys?</p><p>And second, how is one to disengage from the world of work—as we’re “commanded”/invited by Shabbat—and instead rest in light of this? How is one to dwell in the sacred, leaving behind the profane, the common (like, say, the hegemony of Christian patriarchal white supremacy), for the 25 hours of Shabbes when a Day of Hate against Jews is unrestfully launched and thus there’s so much antifascist work to do, including community self-defense?</p><p>Of course, every day under fascism—and the United States is already there—is a day of hate, a day of targeting, a day of no rest for the weary antifascist. </p><p>Yet just as we rebels call for “days of action” to direct our love and solidarity toward the direct action of dismantling various forms of hierarchy and domination, the fascists are likely putting special effort into their Day of Hate. And even if their direct actions fall short of their aims, which include, as one flyer asserts, being “loud and clear” that “the one true enemy … is the Jew,” like our days of action, such moments can have many impacts, from visibility for a message to bolstering one’s ranks to causing a certain amount of trouble. And in this case, not the good kind—toward liberatory lives for all—but the kind that hurts and even kills people, and for sure is already paining Jews.</p><p>This Day of Hate isn’t “just” a Jewish concern—though please check in on and offer solidarity to your Jewish friends. Their conspiracy theories and genocidal fantasies tie us all together—all of us in fascism’s crosshairs. But so, too, should our common dream of a world to come—and without fascism. </p><p>(photo: hot pink and black “antifascist action” sticker seen on my <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckFascism</span></a> walk in Tio’tia:ke/Montreal today) </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WeMustOutliveThem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeMustOutliveThem</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunitySelfDefense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunitySelfDefense</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeTheGolemYouWantToSee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeTheGolemYouWantToSee</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolidarityOnShabbat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolidarityOnShabbat</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolidarityIsOurBestWeapon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolidarityIsOurBestWeapon</span></a></p>
Cindy Milstein (they)<p>Two years ago, on January 6, extraparliamentary Christian fascists stormed the US Capitol, dressed up in an assortment of antisemitic, anti-Black, and racist “live-action role play” attire—looking both ridiculous, thuggish, and euphorically full-of-themselves in their attempted insurrection.</p><p>This January 6, in expensive suit-and-tie and other high-powered professional attire, surrounded by neatly dressed aids, and with no need to breach their own office building, the US Capitol, parliamentary Christian fascists are engaging in an attempted insurrection too—refusing to install a Speaker of the House until they have someone in their pocket. </p><p>If January 6, 2021, felt unnerving and even scary, this January 6, 2023, seems much more frightening. As antifascist organizing has demonstrated in the past, such as via efforts like Anti-Racist Action, and more recently, in support of drag shows, it’s possible to get fascists off the streets—the kinds of fascists that went to DC two Januarys ago. Our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunitySelfDefense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunitySelfDefense</span></a> works! </p><p>Not that they don’t reappear at times, and not that they aren’t dangerous and sometimes deadly (increasingly so these past two years). And not that they don’t have relations with some of the trappings of the state, like cops. Yet they don’t hold the levers of a world power, with its vast resources and vast apparatuses of state violence/might.</p><p>As has been long argued by some antifascists, and rightly so, we are in a three-way fight.</p><p>As part of that, we are also far, far past “the fascist creep.” Two January 6ths ago, fascist ran up the Capitol steps and climbed over fences, but then walked around the building taking selfies and confusedly occupying the Senate chambers, unsure what to do—other than pray to their white Christian male supremacist god. Now, fascist congresspeople, having won their race, are confidently in those legislative chambers (not to mention Supreme Court) as superpower powerbrokers. </p><p>All to say, suit-and-tie fascism may prove to be much more successful at insurrection, bringing down the state from within. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FightFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FightFascism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeathToFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeathToFascism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WeMustOutliveThem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeMustOutliveThem</span></a> </p><p>(photo: sticker by <span class="h-card"><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@municipaladhesives" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>municipaladhesives</span></a></span> seen on stolen Anishinabeeg lands)</p>
