I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

The Rote Hilfe, a key infrastructure org of the german left, providing legal & financial support to political prisoners for more than a century, just had its bank account closed by GLS, an ~ethical~ bank.

Alle Konten gekündigt: Rote Hilfe droht das finanzielle Aus
Innerhalb weniger Tage wurden die beiden Konten des linken Hilfsvereins Rote Hilfe gekündigt. Steckt der Feldzug der Trump-Regierung gegen die Antifa dahinter?

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

The West Java Regional Police sweep is not limited to that area.
They have already carried out sweeps outside their jurisdiction as well. Some have already been arrested in Makassar, eastern Indonesia and East Java too.

Almost all of them are part of anarchist network.
The police are trying to find out who is handling the funding and the social media admins connected to network. They will arrest people known to be linked with those social media admins.
