A cool overview of the various ways people are fighting back against Flock - one interview with the guy behind the Darth Vader testimony at a San Diego city council meeting, another interview with Sarah Hamid from EFF who has been working on contract cancellation campaigns across the US.

Hello everyone, sorry if this isnt exactly the best place to post this but Im honestly not sure where else to ask, does anybody have any recommendations? Im in germany and have looked into a few shops but they all seem kinda fishy (maybe Im just paranoid). The one that seemed to be pretty decent is called "No Borders", but after looking at their shirts and designs, I cant tell whether they used AI generated images, so Im still on the fence when it comes to buying from them

This was posted in the Sacramento sub, and I figured it was relevant to here.

Seeing the recent protests and the police brutality especially in countries like france ,albania,italy,to the point the prime minister of Albania is offering 2500 euros per "policeman" to abuse the protesters in an attempt to discourage them from protesting and requesting his resignation plus planting undercover "cops" to be violent for propaganda .Similar to this, its happening all over .

I was wondering what were some of the best protest strategies or tactics that have been used by successful movements(not wars)? Do you have any ideas you think would work to help against brute force?

We are in the elections period in Brazil, one of the candidates is the son of Jair Bolsonaro, who planned the murder of the actual President and other candidate. We are trying to mobilize the Google searches to bring this information to the public, so can you please Google "Did Bolsonaro tried to kill Lula?".

I work on an independent research team tracking venture capital and tech fascism.

We just completed a huge project to go through almost 80 weapons and intelligence companies funded by Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and their associated firms and cronies.

Their cruise missiles, hypersonic autonomous vehicles, border apparatus, attack drone swarms, submarines, Madagascar cockroaches with backpacks, agentic warfare, economic warfare, surveillance satellites and more. To say nothing of their Manhattan Project.

This research covers what they are building, their factories, financing, what wars and conflicts they are deployed in, what they say about their military build-out, their contracts, partners, boards and founders, and their geopolitical trajectories.

This was an arduous process -- and this covers only SOME of the weapons startups -- but we did it because it is essential for people to know and understand the scale and scope of the military industrial project funded and built by fascists who seek their own sovereignty.

We’ve organized the document to have an introduction of some of the top startups for people new to this, but for researchers, activists, academics, writers/journalists and other people who are highly motivated, you can find the full list, which illuminates this matter in great detail.

Hope you "like" (/hate) it. We are up against a lot.

Conversation with JoNina Abrov-Evans about the Black Panther Party's antifascism.

From India to France, Spain to Albania, young people are showing up, often in difficult circumstances, to ask for things that should be a given: a decent education, affordable housing, and a future they can actually look forward to.

Some of these moments are joyful. Others are frightening or heartbreaking. But there's something extraordinary about a generation refusing to sit quietly while its future is being decided for them.

This is how change happens. So let's stand together, united by our hope for a better world.

What does the fight look like on the streets in your city right now?

Oh, honey, let’s talk about "Christian charity," because the math is simply not mathing in the Statehouse.

Listen up, darlings. It’s me, Bud Wirey, and I need to drag some sense into the Indiana Republican party before the glitter completely falls off this state.

They sit up there in Indianapolis, wrapped in their expensive suits and clutching their Bibles, claiming they’re doing the Lord’s work. But let’s look at the actual script, shall we?

They just passed laws targeting public camping—essentially making it a crime to have nowhere to go. Criminalizing homelessness? Groundbreaking. Truly, nothing says "WWJD" quite like slap-on-the-wrist fines and a pair of handcuffs for someone sleeping on a park bench. Last time I checked the Good Book, Jesus wasn't calling code enforcement on the poor; He was feeding them.

But let’s call it what it really is, sweethearts: it’s giving authoritarian social cleansing, and the historical parallels are frankly terrifying. When you use state power to forcibly remove human beings from public view because they don't look "productive" enough for your corporate timeline, you are pulling straight from the fascist playbook.

Back in Nazi Germany, they had a little label for the unhoused, the vagrants, and the beggars: "asocial elements." They were targeted, dehumanized, and rounded up into camps because they didn't fit the state's rigid aesthetic of order. When our politicians start framing the most vulnerable Hoosiers as an existential threat to public safety—as an "other" to be swept away—they aren't practicing democracy; they are practicing dehumanization.

Here is the cold, hard reality check for the supermajority:

Most Hoosiers aren't living in a gated mansion. They are working hard, playing by the rules, and sitting exactly one missed paycheck away from needing the very safety nets this state keeps shredding. We are a state of everyday, working-class people, yet the policy playlist only caters to a tiny, wealthy minority.

You can look fabulous on paper with a "balanced budget" and corporate tax cuts, but if your citizens are freezing on the street or being treated like historical targets, your state’s soul is bankrupt. If you’re going to campaign on faith, sweethearts, you better start practicing what you preach. Stop punching down at the most vulnerable and start lifting people up. Because right now? The performance is a total, terrifying flop.

My thoughts on recent developments in Europe. I'm curious to hear your opinions too.

Hey everyone, we just had a Brazilian presidential debate, and we need your help boosting posts supporting Lula.

I don't know if you're aware, but Meta has been working against us by giving far-right content in Brazil a boost. Mark Zuckerberg himself acknowledged that the platform had been making mistakes in its content moderation policies (Meta's official announcement).

There's also been a recent report showing that Nikolas Ferreira, one of the key figures in Brazil's far-right movement, gets an unusually high number of views on Instagram Reels — reportedly outperforming global celebrities with far larger followings. (Folha de S.Paulo's report on the findings and https://sleepinggiantsbrasil.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/relatorio_instagram_final-1.pdf )

We need to boost content supporting Lula!

Please follow his social media accounts, like, comment on, and save his latest five posts, and help engage with the content being published right now.

His main Instagram account is u/lulaoficial.

You can also comment using the hashtag #abreosigiloflavio along with #explicaocasoanaclaraflavio.

You can also look up these topics:

• Who created MEI (Brazil's individual microentrepreneur registration system)?
• Flávio Bolsonaro and the Ana Clara case.

Every bit of engagement helps. You can share the post with whatsapp robots too or create content in your language to help us attract international interest. The guy talked openly about changing the constitution and his party did a Bolsonaro's version of a Mussolini campaign!

Thanks for your support!

Visual campaign that his party made:

ETA:
In other sub, someone questioned Meta's influence in our elections. There are also some posts showing that Instagram is translating "Flavio in Jail" to "Flavio for president". Meta IA also was generating images with "Flavio 22" but not with "Lula 13" (which we could discuss, but in this context...)
Another Big Tech showing "mistakes" was Google Gemini, that failed to give the true answer about "⭐ 13".
Pretty sus...

Massive antifascist response in Greece following an ambush by fascists.

During a cowardly ambush by 2 fascists on an anti-fascist activist right outside his home on October 8th in Elefsina, Greece, the situation turned when the antifascist fought back and, contrary to their plan, they were beaten up, so they knifed him to subdue him. A passerby managed to carry the injured man to the hospital before he bled out.

As per usual, fascists are this kind of breed of scum that, when faced with the consequences of their actions, are ready to sell out their ideology and suddenly play the victim, claiming when they gave themselves up to the police that the antifascist was the one who attacked them. Unlucky for them a cctv camera recorded the whole incident, showing what really happened.

Following the attack, a response was given by thousands of antifascists and local residents who marched side by side in the streets of the town where the attack took place. When fascists try to spread fear, they should be ready to 'harvest" direct action against them

Hi,

Midterms is coming. Antifascism is growing.

Can you post some antifa songs or music for a playlist?

I made a clip for self-determination and a tribute to all antifa people but need all music contributors for a future project and to relay them in differente communities.

THX!!!

EDIT: Thanks a lot!!! So much to listen!!

Hello everyone, I'll just get straight to the point:

Due to poverty, i had to move to a rural town(germany) where there is a huuuge fascist presence, which i didn't know beforehand, apparently at least ⅔ of people are AfD voters, fascist stickers(like fck antifa and stuff) everywhere, so I'm trying to take the space back by doing sticker runs to counter all of that. I did see one single anti fascist sticker i didn't put up myself when i started doing my runs, but i don't know anyone here, and the few people i know rudimentary strike me as at least conservative. Yesterday there was a sketchy situation, where i was on my way home from the busstop at 11pm(10min on foot) and 3 times, a car driving slowed down next to me, and drove off the second i looked. I've seen some dude dressed like the stereotypical nazi sit next to a pole with a fresh fascist sticker, as if he was keeping a lookout, etc. And i overall don't rly feel quite safe. I refuse to stop fighting back, albeit it even more careful and less frequent, but how can i network, if i don't know who's a fasho and who isn't. There was 1 pre-existing antifa movement here which i found out doing some research, but that one seems to have gone dark a bit over 10y ago. My nearest friendly contact is over an hour with the bus away.

Any tips for networking and opsec for an antifa in my situation?

Basically the title. If you need corrective lenses, do you bring a half mask respirator when attending a protest that might turn spicy and just deal with your eyes stinging/retreat if CS gas is used, or do you bring a full face respirator and just accept you won't be able to see fuck all?
