Connecticut John Brown Gun Club

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.

www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli... Yet another ICE execution out of Minneapolis. The CT John Brown Gun Club extends our condolences to the family of the victim. This is not a freak accident, nor an "unfortunate chain of events." This is our fascist state working as intended. We keep us safe.

Get ready for the new wave of fascist propaganda targeting antifascist thoughts and actions. Nothing much new from trump 1, but we're starting where we left off, so let's see where this takes us. nypost.com/2025/08/27/u...

ICE will "no longer report the number of transgender people in their custody." "ICE has rolled back trans care requirements in [..] detention centers and removed a 2015 memo governing how the agency treats trans migrants." #NewYork #USA #Cuba #Kenya #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

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.

Happy Juneteenth!

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.

Happy Birthday to our namesake John Brown! On the 225th anniversary of his birth let us all reflect on his example of doing the right thing even if it's an unpopular or dangerous thing to do. His story is relevant at all times; not least of which now. His soul goes marching on. youtu.be/jso1YRQnpCI

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.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, comrades!

Free online narcan training. This is a very valuable, life-saving skill to acquire. www.eventbrite.com/e/opioid-ove...

Always an honor and privilege to stand in the community with our comrades. Thank you, people of Providence, for having us in your lovely city. It's telling that while the local nazis can't help but all stab eachother, these three states of JBGC chapters just keep coming together as friends.

Shoutout to the Norwich city workers who got all those swastikas covered up this morning. That's an important service to the community.

Get your permits.

Happy to announce that after tying up some loose ends we are finally and officially off of the bad website formerly known as Twitter! If you see anyone over there claiming to be our chapter, that ain't us.

Just got back from the National Day of Action event in New Haven. It's always inspiring to see so many people turn out in less than perfect weather; and from such a broad coalition, no less! Thank you to all the organizers for having us.

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!

Just in time for the J6 anniversary, @propublica.org dropped this story on a mole within the ranks of the Oathkeepers and adjacent groups only a couple days ago. Important reading. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

We wish everyone a new year that is peaceful, safe, and abundant. If it fails to be any of those three things, we hope you can look to your community for support. For our part, we still strive to be a part of the community you can count on. Look out for eachother this year. Solidarity forever.

There are many such cases. The police are instruments of and manifest expressions of patriarchy. They can't be the community's solution to domestic violence or stalking. www.newstimes.com/news/article...

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!

We've been spitballing some skill-share ideas to help build community resilience. Out of curiosity, what are some things you folks would really like to learn more about? What are some things you think more people should learn about?

We love this @yesmagazine article on comdef activism. It's a solid rec for anyone interested in the history and present of leftist community self-defense. www.yesmagazine.org/social-justi...

They were told repeatedly this would happen, it's obviously what would happen, and then it happened and they have not changed it. Fact is, 100% of Republicans like it when women die. They consider this a good and appropriate outcome.

It’s no longer Neo-liberalism, it’s neo-feudalism. Don’t get confused.

Just want to make sure folks are aware the @elmforkjbgc.bsky.social account is not the members of the former EFJBGC. Might be a fine person but they’re clearly trying to appear as the old club when they are not.

Election related violence is escalating, both against people voting, poll workers, and ballot boxes (property can’t experience violence but you get the point). Vote or don’t, not our place, but as they say “make a plan to vote” that plan should include community defense.

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.

They’re all women and people of color in case you weren’t sure or didn’t want to look.

Hot take, Obama’s oratory style means his flow is shit.

Narrator: “Perhaps not surprisingly, they weren’t.”

So we’ve been skeeting on bsky since the very beginning but haven’t been super active here. Might try to improve that. We’re still over on Twitter but our Meta accounts all got wiped because we’re a “dangerous organization.” Nevertheless, nice to see it’s starting to thrive over here.

His code looks like it’s trying to do ASCII of the Twin Towers being hit. Seems ominous.

Preparing for this isn’t just smart or cautious, it’s an utter and complete moral imperative.

This is the most fascist speak imaginable. Peace through violence.
