Do “#WeKeepUsSafe”? Notes on Action Security & Some Resources
by #IndigenousAction admin, September 30, 2023
"'We keep us safe!' is an abolitionist assertion that the state or some paternalistic organization will not protect us from #colonial, #fascist, #WhiteSupremacist, #Queerphobic attacks, so we must organize and defend ourselves and those we are in community with.
"We cannot leave this slogan to be an empty gesture or posture. It must be conveyed with the necessary training and organizing to address the hyperpoliticized and conflictual environments that we organize in.
"While we cannot anticipate and prevent all fascist assaults, if we pronounce that 'we keep us safe,' we can and must do what we can to organize and be prepared. Liberal and 'radical' non-profit managers constantly decrying the 'inactions of cops' does not keep us safe, it only invokes further police violence. Additionally, calling on colonial politicians to respond to fascist violence as a 'hate crime,' is really a call to further the carceral state and its institutional violences (courts, prisons, more policing, etc).
"On September 28th, 2023 #JacobJohns, an #Indigenous person was shot by Ryan Martinez, a colonial invader and #MAGA fascist at an action called to confront the re-establishment of a monument to the genocidal colonizer Juan de #Oñate in so-called Española, New Mexico. This shooting occurred under the same watch of an organization that hosted a previous anti-Oñate monument action in 2020 where #ScottWilliams was shot and severely injured.
"From #HeatherHeyer, #JosephRosenbaum, and #AnthonyHuber to many more who have been injured or killed while resisting authoritarian nationalism (aka fascism), these deadly attacks are occurring within a context of historic, ongoing, and escalating colonial violence.
"Since 2020, groups based in occupied New Mexico organizing anti-monument actions have been directly challenged for putting people at serious risk. Calls that have been made for more organized security have been denounced by inexperienced organizers in these groups.
"These issues and considerations are not new, the #BlackPantherParty for Self Defense and #AIM initiated armed patrols and armed resistance in the face of state, white supremacist, and colonial terror. Amorphous entities such as #Antifa and #BashBack have continually mobilized street warfare in defensive and proactive ways. These groups have long recognized that we cannot merely rely on 'safety in numbers,' (though numbers do help) our enemies are more organized than that, so why aren’t we?
"We cannot pronounce liberation without simultaneously preparing and mobilizing defense.
"As everyone should be doing #MutualAid, everyone should be prepared for #MutualDefense. We cannot depend on any organizers or organizations to simply do this for us. If 'We keep us safe,' we better fucking mean it.
"As Goldfinch Gun Club stated, 'Community defense has to be about #solidarity and uplift mutual aid, not just arming vulnerable peoples. By the time someone starts shooting, everyone has already lost. The best defense is #ABetterWorld. It’s possible. We have to believe that.'"

Transphobic Hair Salon in Traverse City Vandalized
"The owner of Studio 8 Hair Lab, Christine Geiger, said that people who specify their pronouns should go to a pet groomer. ... we thought your store front could use some redecoration. Glass etch and spray paint reading “TC <3s trans folks” and “trans power” did just the trick."

[Juin 2023, USA] Action Directe à la Pride de Philly
https://euphoria.noblogs.org/post/2023/06/11/juin-2023-usa-action-directe-a-la-pride-de-philly/
4 Juin, Philadelphie :
Au milieu des énormes foules de la Pride, notre groupe affinitaire s’est beaucoup amusé à danser et cracher sur les flics, leur criant dégager de la pride. Plusieurs de leurs voitures de police ont été taggés “FTP” [fuck the police: nique la police] et “ACAB” et “La Pride était une émeute !”. Il y avait quelques perturbateurs anti-gay qui ont été attaqués quand divers personnes queer leur ont lancé des boissons et des objets lourds. Nous avons aussi brûlé des drapeaux américains dans la rue. Des produits de divers magasins ont été redistribuées
Quelques reacs homophobes ont été chassés hors du quartier gay (Gayborhhood) et nous sommes certainEs que de nombreuses autres actions révolutionnaires queern, et fauteuses de troubles en général ont eu lieu tandis que la nuit continuait. Continuons à lutter contre les entreprises, les flics, les reacs et le capitalisme toute l’année. Nique l’Assimilation ! La libération maintenant ! Bash Back !

MAKE NOISE - SMASH FASCISM
as expected the so called discussion on the matter brought up by me and other vectors in the finnish scene & 'punk in finland' forum is dominated by ignorant trolls who pretend to have a discussion, while pushing aspa+co's releases in the same forum in other threads. it is a farce, but i expected nothing less of this place. clearly these discussions need to be held in other places and must be followed by consequences instead of another long phase of silence. more labels and venues need to be confronted with what kind of affiliations they platform and by that help to get another step closer into the accepted realm of culture and politics. it seems like when just a few singular voices are bringing such these topics, it is just ignored and when these voices do not even speak the local tongue, the 'outside agitator'/tourist stamp is easily applied and the hope for the un-disrupted business as usual seems to dominate. this all does not only apply to the PE / harsh noise genre, but also the psychodelic spectrum in which for example crypto fascist anti-semites are welcomed contributors. in times of raising fascism on national (the finnish government might become a coalition of conservative capitalists with the fascist PS party) and global level, we need to attack the creeping plague on all levels in our lives. MAKE NOISE - SMASH FASCISM
ps: it must be clear by now, that fascism is a creepy monster that acts hand in hand with patriarchy, white supremacy and all it's nasty offspring, like trans- and homo-hatred, misogyny, anti-BIPOC racism, ableism, and so forth. this must be clear: #antifascism is a catch all phrase that must include the above.
here's reference to previous post on the topic: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17933103824230502/
and if you speak finnish, you might want to get a glimpse of the state of the local 'discusion' in the PIF forum. keep your vomit-bucket ready.
On our latest podcast, we speak with someone about why #BashBack is returning with a new convergence in #Chicago after 15 years and discuss why rich people like Trump don't go to prison - and what this means for abolitionists.

from Bash Back
In 2008, queer anarchists gathered in Chicago to plot a disruption of the electoral spectacle and cohere a network out of emergent youth crews in multiple cities. Fifteen years later, the proposals put forward then — criminality, autonomous self-defense, riots, and orgies — are needed more than ever.
The intervening years have been marked by intensification — of crisis, alienation, loss, and struggle. The right wing no longer hides behind euphemisms: they want to exterminate trans and queer people. The left offers only false solutions: vote, donate, assimilate. A decade of representation, symbolic legal victories, social media activism, and mass-market saturation has left us worse off by all metrics. Our fairweather friends won’t save us from the consequences of their strategy of empty visibility. The inescapable conclusion is that we must come together to protect ourselves.
History confirms the queer legacy of building connection in a world that hates us, the legacy of riotous joy—the legacy of bashing back. The attacks will continue on our nightclubs, forests, story hours, and siblings. To hold on, we need spaces—underground if necessary—to re-encounter each other, spaces to remember, build, share, and conspire.
In this spirit, we are ecstatic to announce the return of the Bash Back convergence!
Fifteen years from the original gathering, Chicago will host the 2023 convergence September 8–11. Comrades, old and new, are invited to discuss what’s still vital in the past and what’s needed in the present. In keeping with tradition, the convergence will include presentations, workshops, distros, parties, and other opportunities to make trouble
If you are interested in attending, especially if you’d like to propose programming or tabling, please send an introduction to bashback2023@riseup.net.
All Proposals due by June 20.

So apparently poop francis thinks that “gender ideology” is the most dangerous “colonization” today.
Frankly, I think the only appropriate response is to muster a fabulous pink army, storm and sack the Vatican, put everyone to the sword, and torch the joint. If I am to be a dangerous colonizer, then by Bakunin’s beard, I wanna pillage and burn like the rest of them.
Hundreds of anarchist and feminist community defenders from across Florida coordinated four successful drag defense operations in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, and Clearwater.
In all four cities they won. 4-0 baby!
Adding another 4 defeats to the fascists’ record makes it undeniable that fascists are losing in Florida: https://kolektiva.social/@TBSFlorida/109542097900880759
