Connecticut John Brown Gun Club
@ctjbgc.bsky.social
We’re a shooting sports club with abolitionist values. We are not a security agency. We are not a militia.
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

On this day, in 1969, The FBI and the Chicago Police assassinated Chairman Fred Hampton. He was only 21 years old. To paraphrase him: “You don’t fight capitalism with Black capitalism, you fight capitalism with socialism!”
All power to The People!

Captain John Brown was executed on this day in 1859. If you’d like to know more about this legendary abolitionist, this book (and audiobook) comes highly recommended.
His soul goes marching on!

One of our members has been road tripping the last couple months. He’s making his way back and stopped in Kansas and Harper’s Ferry to see the places of our name sake trod through on his quest for justice and emancipation. His soul is marching on.

We are doing an auction to help us raise funds for our continued AntiFascist work. This piece of AntiFascist history is a circa 1932 German Iron Front flag.

Multiple chapters of the JBGC came out to defend the Boston Anarchist Book Fair this weekend. Local fascists are cowards though, so we were bored and hanging out on the jungle gym. Chicken shits.

Community can be messy business. When a group is big enough how do you let everyone know about changes in plans. We showed up for a community gathering and mutual aid project but it was rescheduled. That didn’t stop us from doing some work and building connections.

Pride Month has involved fewer asks for help and support than we would have liked but we were out in Massachusetts today with our fellow Bay State and Rhode Island chapter defending a pride march. Cops won’t keep us safe, but we can.

We’ve been celebrating on Twitter for a couple days now and haven’t shared the good news with our favorite Skeeters. Leo Cullinan, violent Neo-Nazi and leading member of NSC-131 (New England’s most powerful Neo-Nazi gang) died Monday morning. Best thing he ever did! Rot in Piss Nazi!

Deep down you’re still telling yourself it’s not possible. That it can’t happen here. At least, nothing as bad as you sometime say out loud.

We went searching for this on Twitter because we hadn’t seen anything about it. What we found was a mass campaign of disinformation with dozens of accounts using the same language all hitting the top of the search results. This level of disinformation will be present for every attack moving forward.

Good morning Skeeters! Our Bluesky code raffle raised $476 for our local abortion fund. AND a trans person won the code. This place continues to be superior to the other place. (This was our donation to round up some folks who couldn’t afford the whole $20)

Major props to one of our social media managers for coming up with this idea. We’ve already raised $316 for the CT Reach Fund by raffling off the invite code we got. You’re all here already but if you want to donate it’s tax deductible. Venmo: @reachfundct

Everything continues to get worse and our typical summer protest season is already heating up, but we have to make time for joy. The crew went to see Sisu and we encourage you to suspend disbelief and go watch some Nazis get well and truly fucked by an angry Fin.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, from communists to liberals to conservatives and so called moderates have covered this story by noting that Jordan was in a “mental health crisis” or “mentally ill.” What evidence do we have of this?

Threads are a bit weird here so sorry for the way this will weirdly flow across your timeline. Mental health professional member of CTJBGC here, and we need to have a talk about “mental illness” in the context of Jordan Neely. So here’s a 🧵
