I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

This week the police in Rio executed what is being called the most deadly massacre in Rio’s history. Black organizations are demanding accountability and the UN just called for an investigation. But it will take a lot to get real processes of accountability going.

If, like me you don’t speak Portuguese, you can translate pretty easily - and thus read more or less directly from one of the largest Black media organizations in Brazil.

"Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a 'member of Antifa.' On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence."

It's projection from the right. All the way down.

Ya sabéis que Mark Bray y Miquel Ramos tienen dos librazos en los que analizan la historia del antifascismo contemporáneo; Bray en casi una veintena de países, y Ramos en el estado español desde los años 90.
No faltes, va a merecer mucho la pena.

Unfounded claims of 500% and 1000% increases in assaults against ICE officers and a crackdown on “doxxing” of ICE agents looking like a red herring in greater federal effort to justify military deployment to U.S. cities @shaanthx.bsky.social reports

ICE promised doxing cases against Portland ‘anarchists.’ Months later, no charges filed • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Three months since Kristi Noem vowed charges against Portland "anachists" for doxing, it appears her agency has yet to follow through.

The ‘antifa’ boogeyman

From: www.nj.com/opinion/2025...
Image of a monster next to someone dressed as a stereotypical anarchist with a circle a on their sweatshirt. Caption: “Hi. I’m the Boogeyman. A mythical creature used to frighten children into doing what they’re told. This is my buddy Antifa. He does the same thing but for Republican Adults.”

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents. “I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.” During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley. “They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.
Remigration Wikipedia Page. Not to be confused with Return migration. Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry. It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.
