Started reading “Blackshirts & Reds: Rational Fascism & the Overthrow of Communism” by Michael Parenti. It’s the first book of the @dsanorthtexas.bsky.social Marxist Reading group’s module on fascism. I think this could be a lively discussion when we meet. Can’t wait!

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

We are outraged & heartbroken that the government's manufactured search for a nonexistent North Texas Antifa cell has ensnared a 19th person. Lucy's January 5 arrest further demonstrates the state is hellbent on cobbling together an Antifa bogeyman narrative out of the mundane.

Unfortunately this goes for pretty much any comment that says “this is illegal” or “they can’t do that.”
The reality is that ICE and DHS actually CAN and ARE attacking people who are exercising their rights.
I say this NOT to dissuade anyone from exercising those rights, but to challenge @tedlieu.bsky.social and other politicians to do more to protect those rights than post this kind of thing.

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:
1. Film ICE in public
2. Photograph ICE in public
3. Observe what ICE does in public
ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.
