As antifascist groups are getting persecuted worldwide, we need to remember that anti-fascism is not just a culture, but praxis first and foremost. We need more of this and also coming from within the metal scene. Don't let NSBM shitheads do their work in the dark; expose them everywhere.
The founder of a SPLC designated Hate Group headquartered in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco has just been identified.
So lets rip that klan hood off...

ICYMI, Ken Paxton demanded Adam Hoffman, a lawyer who statutorily raped a boy, be given 29 years, 11 months, and 29 days less jail time than a Texas resident who transported a box of zines that contained constitutionally protected content opposing ICE.
The judge sentenced Hoffman to 60 days instead

There is a corner of the internet I had never heard of before I started reporting this story.
It’s called the “burnerverse”: a network of anon burner accounts ostensibly discussing college sports. But they have another goal: destroying young girls’ lives.🧵:

A HMRC official was sacked because he was caught on camera saying he gives wrong information to black and brown people when they call for advice in a bid to sabotage them. He was a member of the far right group Patriotic Alternative.

This is happening all over the country. And again, the billionaires who claim to be about a healthy democracy—not many I grant you—could invest in journalism instead of campaign ads and dark influencers. But they don’t.
Journalists all across the PNW laid off by McClatchy today, a damn bloodbath. Some are people I’ve worked with, some are calling me crying because their mentors no longer have jobs. Journalism is so needed. Cutting investigative reporters, city reporters… Idaho & Washington will be worse off.

This week, Elon Musk's America PAC launched hundreds of anti-trans ads, part of a $100 million midterm spend.
In 2024, a Musk-funded PAC ran antisemitic ads reminding Muslim voters that Doug Emhoff is Jewish.
That's not a coincidence.

As murder rates plummet to a 20-year low, why are so many American cities still grappling with disorder?
In @themimsshow.bsky.social, Carine Hajjar sits down with Heather Mac Donald to explore “teen takeovers,” pushback against progressive prosecutors and more.

The AI slop app “Talkie AI” illegally stole my voice & MANY coworkers’ voices, and is actively profiting off of our stolen work.
Good news is the App Store banned em! Bad news is Google Play hasn’t replied to a single DCMA takedown request.
If you use this app, please stop now. It’s harming us. 💔

I want to make sure everyone in the city is aware that SUNY Downstate operates a large and extremely skilled LGBTQ and gender affirming care clinic, and we have repeatedly reiterated our intention to go to jail before we stop.
BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday that it reached an “agreement” with Mount Sinai Health System in which it will “cease providing” gender-affirming medical care to minors and dedicate $2 million to providing care to those “suffering harmful consequences” of such care.

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.
