It’s another day of waking up to Andy Ngô and Libs of TikTok’s troll armies calling for me to be killed and mocking me for being Indian and non-binary. Happy Trans Day of Visibility, I guess. I feel very visible, and not in a good way.
I don’t think folks understand how obsessed Republicans are with me. These defamatory tweets reach millions. Including Trump. Including Musk. All of them and more.
Getting ready for a meeting and then my phone blows up with notifications and threats because Libs of TikTok and Andy Ngô are tweeting lies about me again. Normal reality stuff.
Here’s the trailer for what’s likely the first U.S. antifascist documentary ever made. Created by the Film and Photo League, a radical group of leftist and communist filmmakers who documented protests to show the true realities on the ground that commercial newsreels didn’t, not unlike modern day antifascist press. https://youtu.be/flUr_vo7acE?si=0oIc7omR1Wn1ioQw
This is a pretty insanely transparent level of Nazi, even for Andy Ngô. Eric Zemmour, the man who Ngô released a propaganda video for, has literally defended the Nazi German rule of France in WWII.
On Instagram live at the anti-LGBTQ+ and QAnon rally in Los Angeles: a far-right extremist wearing an earpiece shows off his flex cuffs (zip tie hand cuffs) and claims that LAPD gave the extremists special privileges to use the flex cuffs on pro-LGBTQ+ protesters.
Inside Glory Church in Los Angeles: many chairs remain empty for the anti-LGBTQ+ and QAnon event hosted by far-right extremist groups as Proud Boys and neo-Nazi supporters work security outside.
Proud Boys member Michael “Mick Florio” Sobczak was at Glory Church for the anti-LGBTQ+ and QAnon event wearing a shirt depicting someone being lynched on a tree. This is the same Proud Boy that tweeted a few days ago saying he’d be looking for me today.
I want to emphasize that all of the videos from inside Glory Church show that the anti-LGBTQ+ and QAnon event in Los Angeles had rather poor attendance and engagement. I’ve confirmed that the pro-LGBTQ+ protest against the event succeeded safely and had no injuries.
BREAKING: Pro-LGBTQ+ activists are protesting an anti-LGBTQ+ and QAnon event at Glory Church in Los Angeles. Proud Boys like Louie Mario Flores, Michael “Mick Florio” Sobczak, and Holocaust denying Capitol rioter Alberto Nunez (personal friend of Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio) guard the entrance alongside Nazi sympathizer/Leave Our Kids Alone spokesman Manuk Grigorian, who will speak at the event.
the United States is no longer a democracy it is, at best, a hybrid regime due to the fractured states-system— a flaw once again being leveraged by white supremacist separatists who are holding half the nation hostage. it’s very funny people talk about voting to save democracy as if there was any precedent for that or as if this election will decide the fate of our democracy as if the fascist radicalization of our entire political system hadn’t already incited such a fate. harm reduction is all well and good but if someone has a gun to your head there is no time to keep icing your wounds you have to take drastic, alternative actions that break the status quo.
Climate change, genocide, and the global shift towards autocracy are not issues that will wait for your constantly rolled back reform measures and systems of incremental change.
If the left doesn’t throw away the concept of “peaceful protest” to embrace insurrectionary and revolutionary politics— we will be wiped out by the fascist forces of genocide. We are out of fucking time. You can’t vote your way out of this one.
I predict that this politically motivated far-right anti-immigrant beheading will go heavily under reported in the media. Why? Because the killer was a white man in Pennsylvania, not a brown man in the desert. So our white supremacist journalist institutions will pay very little mind to the story.
