"Fears are mounting that Kash Patel, an outspoken Maga disciple and newly appointed director of the FBI, will make good on past comments about crackdowns on anti-fascists and Black Lives Matter protesters.

For years, Donald Trump has also called for designating 'Antifa' or more broadly, all anti-fascist activists – as an official domestic terrorist organization. While that has not materialized into official policy, Trump’s top national security leaders at the FBI, CIA and the Pentagon are all hardcore loyalists intent on carrying out his political agenda.

Even from inside the FBI, an anonymous agent has publicly warned that the domestic counter-terrorism strategy could switch from inquiries against the hyper-violent far right to leftwing protest movements."

"Fusion centers don’t just spread alarm about nonexistent threats, they illegally compile dossiers on Americans who aren’t even suspected of a crime, a blatant violation of the First and Fourth Amendments ... Nationally, fusion centers fostered suspicion of racial justice activists, goading police to overreact"

I was there when the Berlin Wall fell. I have a piece of the wall, it’s a nondescript bit of concrete that will mean nothing to anyone when I’m gone, but for me, celebrating that day with the Germans who had never seen the other side of the wall, it’s a reminder that democracy can work. That fascists can fall.  The rubble from the destruction of Black Lives Matter plaza tells the other side of that story. Fascism is rising, and they are on the upswing. But hold this rubble in your heart, for with its stones, we will destroy fascism again, and again, and every time they raise their dead eyes and plan destruction, we will pick up our rocks and go to war.

Just because it's predictable for racist fascists to do this, doesn't make it any less infuriating, disgusting or reprehensible.

Jackhammers have begun to remove the large yellow "Black Lives Matter" painted on to the street a block from the White House. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the change last week, which was made as a result of pressure from Republicans in Congress. The words will be replaced by murals, the design of which is as yet unknown. "The removal amounts to a public acknowledgement of just how vulnerable the District of Columbia is now that Trump is back in the White House and Republicans control both houses of Congress," writes @AssociatedPress.

The #BLM and #metoo movements have brought to light a host of forms of violence fuelled and ignored by the state, while revealing tensions and contradictions in relationship with the police and the prison. By confronting carceral solutions to sexual violence, and going further than defunding the police and reforming prisons, we aim to put forward abolitionist perspectives on the entire prison, penal and police system.

From their different perspectives, panelists will talk about the need for abolitionism and how to achieve it. We’ll discuss various experiences of campaigns, pen-pal projects and solidarity with prisoners, direct actions and insurectional moments that enable us to better understand this system and think of another world. We’ll end by engaging the audience in a discussion about the new women’s prison project in Ahunstic, to think about new possibilities for resistance.
