The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Does Trump want violent protests so he can use the guard and create a narrative for a war measures type action against people? Or Is his preemptive use of the guard meant to scare people from coming out to protests to avoid photos of large anti trump groups and violence being shown on media?

It all makes simple sense when you realize than only Profa people are worried about Antifa people. If you're pro-fascist then anyone who opposes you is an anti-fascist. Unless we fight back against this term by defining Trump as pro-fascist they will make Antifa mean anything related to Democrats.

The Guardians of Pedophiles (GOP), if no one noticed by now, are enemies of the First Amendment and are allies of the “Money Is Speech” gang. Let them keep digging themselves into more and more quicksand. They are still the cause of government shutdown & refuse to release all of Epstein files.

If anyone is thinking about not joining the No Kings Day protests because of this kind of talk just think “What would MAGA do?” They would double-down and show up in droves and that is exactly what we need to do. Let’s go, Antifa!!

Ive been focusing on making my messaging as American as possible too, just for this reason. Peaceful assembly is American. Criticizing your government (or at least the ability to) is American. Wanting people protected against unlawful search and seizure is fucking American.

@tonysarris.bsky.social

Assembling to peacefully protest is about as American as you can get. Labeling dissent as "terrorism" is what autocrats do. Oddly enough, the last time I recall a large, violent, unruly mob in a city, it was MAGA's J6ers storming Congress at tRump's behest. Those ppl ended up walking away scot-free

Sated by propaganda, no interest in the greater world around them. These are our countrymen.I saw some clips of Italy the other day.Italians were protesting against support for Israel.Everything shut down and this doesn’t even directly affect them. What has to happen to get Americans in the streets?

Lest we forget: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

I am glad that our elected democrats were right behind them calling bullshit. If they did nothing it might indicate they are actually helping republicans with the fascist coup.

This new resurgence of “antifa” seems to be very linked to the lies as a prelude to NG invasion of Portland and Chicago. Seeing maga drag out Hamas very weird IF they are going to have a peace deal No Hamas in U.S.

On October 18th, a 2nd "NO KINGS" march will storm the streets of America. On the first one we had roughly 12 million people nationwide. We are expecting 20 million on this 2nd one. I shall laugh uncontrollably watching the assholes trying to arrest 20 million people. We are all done being polite.

Suza27
@suza27.bsky.social

It will still be peaceful because we are nothing like the MAGA criminals that did what their leader told them to do. He wanted them to hang Mike Pence & crash Congress while they were counting the votes indicating that Biden was elected ! They didn’t

David
@tatersquid.bsky.social

Exactly. My experience says that a firearm will not be seen until it is fired. More than likely from across a street, an elevated window, a passing vehicle. My immediate reaction is to locate said shooter and direct protesters to a safe zone.

Stephanie
@stephfl.bsky.social

Show up and demonstrate peacefully. Lots of organized groups have safety patrols and are in coordination with local law enforcement. Use positive protest signs in defense of human rights and democracy. Be joyful but defiant. They hate that. ✌️

"... it’s being told to us that they won’t be able to reopen the government until after that rally because they can’t face their rabid base." It's the kind of statement that would elicit a slap across the face in a different day and time.

Lex Wyatt
@lexwyatt.bsky.social

As an outsider looking in, a few things are blatantly obvious. The wonderful US constitution the US has tried to jam down the throats of the rest of the world is looking worthless. Your corrupt SCOTUS has given Trump more power than King George ever had. Revision appears needed good people.

John Rage
@johnrage.bsky.social

I'm sure that at some future point, I'll be arrested as "antifa" for just talking shit about this administration. This is a label they will just attach to all their political enemies. Like Commie Mutant Traitors in Paranoia. A broad brush to get rid of your enemies.

I’ve attempted several responses here…all I am left with is the knowledge that there are more of us than them and more decent people than not. Unfortunately, it is going to take some coalescing event to turn the tide. Fearful of what that might be.

Guardians of Pedophiles scream 'don't call us fascists or nazis' while suppressing 1A rights. The Pedophile in Chief and GOP/MAGA scream 'you are terrorists and rioters' as The People exercise their 1A rights. Release the Epstein files NOW.

@educatoradele.bsky.social

Right out of Netayahu playbook where, after Hamas accepted a ceasefire, he said he would come after every terrorist. Remember, he's been bombing terrorists for nearly 730 consecutive days. #trump #war everyone I don't like is a #terrorist

@electricdonkey.me

Miles Taylor: NSPM-7 starts the process of national law-enforcement, like FBI, to start monitoring citizens for "terroristic" speech (e.g., saying they oppose the regime). Result: the regime's WATCH-LIST of folks they claim are terrorists. Next, interrogation, jailing, extra-judicial executions.

Same as his unfounded emergency that allowed massive looting and disruption by doge. Same as the prejudiced assumption used to murder his Venezuelan victims. Same as terrorists dressed up as officials and arresting, assaulting, and violating civil rights.

BSheepleherder
@sheepleherder.bsky.social

The plan is to simply accuse any person voicing disagreement with the maladministration, of being part of antifa, and is thus a part of a "terrorist organization". The plan will be successful because the magaRINO in Congress have chosen personal profit over America. It's only going to get worse.

I m in France right now, so I will miss the October 18 protests in America. But I found out there will be a No Kings protest in Paris! I plan to attend. It will be interesting to see what kind of turnout they will have.

Crimsonwolf

So if not the Insurrection Act, then Martial Law is the other option. You don't think this Regime is crazy enough to drop a bomb on its own cities and claim Venezuela or X did it? You think they won't ramp up violence ANYWAY? Declare martial law ANYWAY? Asking for real, your dealing with sociopaths.

@larsson.org

They are fully committed now. They MUST win and destroy what's left of democracy, disable the Democrat party, and prevent future legitimate elections, or they will all be jailed and stripped of all power. Including everyone in the Congress. They still have a lot to do but are working very quickly.

Ever notice how every time Mike Johnson lies through his teeth his cheeks turn red? Anybody who gets arrested for supposedly being a "terrorist" and "member" of "antifa" should sue the crap out of all of them.

Trump is always consciously or unconsciously using "Scapegoat Psychology" to scapegoat his political opponents. It is a recurring motif, and his base supporters are simple ignorant folk which is always the Americans he is speaking at. Read a Depth Psychology Book. Legalize is not the panacea.

Maya Tommasi
@mayatommasi.bsky.social

The escalation of authoritarian rhetoric happening in the US is insane. Labelling your opponents as terrorists is literally big-time authoritarianism. The fact we escalated to this in under a year is insane.

@gavalaaaa.bsky.social

All Miller and his cronies want is violence to happen. They’ll try to provoke it, cause some deaths, and then boom - Insurrection Act, plenary powers, absolute power. Everyone needs to turn out in huge numbers … dressed like frogs and unicorns, dancing and singing, handing out flowers.

Paulo Hoffman
@off-man.bsky.social

Exactly...! Trump will use the Antifa as a tool to enforce his repression of decent and criticism. It's a very dangerous tactic that can label anyone they want as a "terrorist"... What is appalling is the speed how this Fascist coup is happening without much confrontation. Capitulation is a reality.

Someone tell the guy that didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize Antifa is an anti-Fascism philosophy, not an organized group of people like the Make Americans Gullible Again cult. MAGA is a terrorist cult, they attacked the US Capitol, and their leader didn’t call for the National Guard.

They know the only thing that can save them is triggering violence from protesters so they can claim insurrection & effectively prevent fair elections which would undoubtedly remove them from power. Don’t give them the optics of violence but show up in large numbers…& frog suits if that’s your thing

I have to admit that I am socially awkward in a crowd. That said, I went to the previous rally in our little town, wearing a T-shirt from my local auto parts store. An elderly lady asked me “Are you a hero?” And I replied “We all are”.

As impossible as it seems right now, we HAVE to make sure all protests and confrontations are nonviolent (on our end). The minute even one protester lobs a rock at a (deserving) ICE agent, it'll be all the pretext needed to unleash martial law.

The conservatives, Republicans pardoned the violent terrorists who attacked the US Capitol in an effort to murder Democratic lawmakers, end democracy, steal the election, but they want to label No Kings protestors as "terrorists?" Well, conservatives, Republicans are fascists, right? So it checks.
