Much better than Tina Feyâs âsheetcakingâ tactics :P.

I believe the plan is to relocate them to a park with various military memorials, which is more honor than they deserve. But hopefully theyâll at least be in a more appropriate context with plaques and shit and not in the town center.
That is better than town square but still not sufficient. Were that happening in my town, Iâd join any movement tearing them down after they were moved.
Itâs a bit more specific than that. They wonât represent white supremacists who march while armed to the teeth. The national ACLU has also come out in agreement with this stance. In other words, âNazis, if youâre going to march, leave your guns, pitchforks, and torches at home, otherwise you wonât get any legal representation from us.â

Not gonna argue with ya there, and Iâm liking @Aprecheâs idea about making a donation to the Hydraulic Press Channel!
SPLC center has some issues as well Iâve been annoyed by some of their taring of Muslim reformers they have done a few years back, but I donât expect perfection from my institutions

Hereâs how a German town that happened to be the former burial place of Rudolf Hess decided to deal with all the Nazis that regular show up there:
There was supposedly going to be a KKK rally or something today in Durham at noon, pretty good protest turnout. Sounding like only a couple KKK / Nazi types showed up. Looks like they gave up for now although thereâs talk of them trying to do it later today (which would be outside of the permit period I heard, so weâll see what happens.)
Edit: Apparently no permit had been issued.
Yeah, the reports Iâve seen are that something like five nazis showed up and were scared off by the presence of a few hundred counterprotestors, who then proceeded to have a dance party and graffiti the statue pedestal with âFuck the KKK.â
This is pretty much exactly what we want to happen any time Nazis show up anywhere â antifa wonât have to use physical force when the Nazis are scared and outnumbered a hundred to one.

Madison is taking down their Confederate monuments:
Wait, Madison had Confederate monuments?
Itâs honestly kinda difficult to find a large city in the US without them.
Framing this as âfree speech vs counterprotestersâ is making me want to punch a nazi

Unofficial report from BPD officer suggests the right wing rally is over with an attendance estimate of 20. Meanwhile, many resisters on Twitter are saying they canât even see the Boston Common yet â the march is that big.

There were rumors spreading that the Nazis had left at least 30 min before I reached the Common, and I couldnât even see the back of the march from where I was. It was fucking massive.
Does anyone know where to get training to be a street medic in the Boston area? Either training aimed specifically for street medics or an equivalent but generic first aid course would be fine.
