We’re a shooting sports club with abolitionist values. We are not a security agency. We are not a militia.

We just got asked about how one starts a new chapter and I noticed that we hadn't migrated over this pinned guide from the other site.
Get ready for the new wave of fascist propaganda targeting antifascist thoughts and actions. Nothing much new from trump 1, but we're starting where we left off, so let's see where this takes us.

Worse than Antifa: Inside the new breed of ultra-extremist groups dedicated to chaos, violence — and even alleged murder
The far-left radical movement known as Antifa has been getting its own taste of cancel culture.

ICE will "no longer report the number of transgender people in their custody."

"ICE has rolled back trans care requirements in [..] detention centers and removed a 2015 memo governing how the agency treats trans migrants."

ICE has stopped reporting number of trans people in custody
Advocates say the lack of data hampers efforts to ensure people’s safety as the Trump administration ramps up immigration detentions

Another year on the books at Naugatuck Rainbow Festival. Thanks as always to the organizers for having us as well as @rijbgc.bsky.social for the assist. The dog quality was on another level.

A couple of us got to check out the Fuck the Fourth show with @rijbgc.bsky.social this weekend. You love to see anti-fascist music alive and well.

We protect us!

Obviously we like guns fine. What we don't like is Colt arming a genocide in Palestine for blood money. Very honored to stand with the CT Palestine Solidarity Coalition outside the Colt plant today.

Happy Birthday to our namesake John Brown! On the 225th anniversary of his birth let us all reflect on his example of doing the right thing even if it's an unpopular or dangerous thing to do. His story is relevant at all times; not least of which now. His soul goes marching on.

Because a real cool guy (/s) who won't pay child support but will post about genociding the libs said he'd be there, naturally we had to be there, too. Of course, for all his calls to action on Facebook, dude had no friends show up, which is tragic, because we really liked the people of New Milford.

We'd only heard about the anti-LGBTQ+ flyering of Deep River Public Library's speaking event featuring Jillian Celentano a couple hours beforehand, but we made it out nonetheless! As usual, the solidarity of the community was stronger than the fascists' hate. It was a joy to hang out with everyone.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, comrades!

Always an honor and privilege to stand in the community with our comrades. Thank you, people of Providence, for having us in your lovely city.

It's telling that while the local nazis can't help but all stab eachother, these three states of JBGC chapters just keep coming together as friends.
We were pleased and proud to help keep the community safe during @redinkpvd.bsky.social's Red Books Day event!

Thanks to the CTJBGC (@jbgc.bsky.social) and the Bay State JBGC for coming out to support us!

We protect us!

Shoutout to the Norwich city workers who got all those swastikas covered up this morning. That's an important service to the community.

We were glad to be asked to help out at the Providence General Assembly's march over the weekend. And thanks to our comrades from @jbgc.bsky.social for making the drive to join us! We protect us!

Happy to announce that after tying up some loose ends we are finally and officially off of the bad website formerly known as Twitter! If you see anyone over there claiming to be our chapter, that ain't us.

Just got back from the National Day of Action event in New Haven. It's always inspiring to see so many people turn out in less than perfect weather; and from such a broad coalition, no less! Thank you to all the organizers for having us.

We held it down at the We Will Not Go Back rally in New London today. It was a privilege as always to get to share the space with so many caring people. We continue to stand with our comrades no matter who's in the White House. On to the next one!

Just in time for the J6 anniversary, @propublica.org dropped this story on a mole within the ranks of the Oathkeepers and adjacent groups only a couple days ago. Important reading.

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

We wish everyone a new year that is peaceful, safe, and abundant. If it fails to be any of those three things, we hope you can look to your community for support. For our part, we still strive to be a part of the community you can count on. Look out for eachother this year. Solidarity forever.
