They had "all lives matter" shirts, called us "race traitors" (their main speaker called us that over the loudspeaker), they said the day of the rope was coming

Literal nazi shit

To put it in terms that helped me understand: You need Malcolm X, you need Rosa Parks, you need MLK, you need Black Panthers, you need Fred Hampton. And you need them all, in no small part, because the powers that be won’t differentiate and will try and kill 4/5 at a minimum. Every fighter helps ❤️

A big lesson of the civil rights movement was that everyone has their own activism and we support each other. If you're a radical activist, you can draw fire away from peaceful protestors. If you're a pacifist and you see radicals fucking shit up, no you didn't. You didn't see a damn thing.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

The thing about cops is that while they're never gonna be woke what they *are* is extremely territorial and I think a lot of them are beginning to chafe at a bunch of ICE GS-5s showing up from who knows where trying to tell them how to run shit in their towns.

Tweet from the verified NYPD News account reads: "The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted. We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests." The post is timestamped 3:27 PM on 10/18/25 and shows 50K views. The NYPD badge is displayed in the top left corner.

Maybe you’re not built for the protest part of activism, but there’s a hell of a lot that doesn’t involve funny signs. Have you considered sabotage?

Anti-racist rallies all over on October 19, in response to the next round of these 'Marches for Australia'. Get to your one. It's your opportunity not only to stand up, but to start meeting and making plans with other anti-racists. Your presence matters. Share it around.

I wish the ABC would make a cute sitcom about this village, it has some Hot Fuzz vibes but also there’s a peacock that lives in town and just hangs out in people’s backyards

The village I grew up in, where my parents still live, has an annual event called the Garden Ramble where you pay to walk around people’s private gardens and they’re promoting it on Insta with the line “get ready to RAMBLE” and I’m losing it

The ALP does Yum Cha and Pub really well, and so much of the actual useful organising happens there
