Government data shows half of all terrorism arrests in Britain, since the attacks on the USA in 2001 started the 'War on Terror', were in the past year and most relate to protests at the unjust ban on Palestine Action. "Terrorism" no longer has any meaning www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Almost half of terrorism arrests in Great Britain since 9/11 have been in past year
Increase coincides with proscription of Palestine Action last year which has led to thousands of arrests for allegedly supporting the protest group

Don't talk to copsWhat's the fascist protest on the 30th August? Why counter? (1)
The nazi aligned 'march / fight for australia' are going on another racist CBD march, a year after their first infamous nazi rally addressed by Thomas Sewell. They are spreading blatant anti-Indigenous, anti-Black racism, calling for mass deportations of non-white migrants, and the elimination of trans people. They aim to assemble at Flinders St at 12pm and march to parliament house.

Last weekend the now informally run but 'disbanded' nazi national socialist network's leaders started strongly pushing the rally. The nazi-adjacent 'national workers alliance' has been doing pop-up stunts. Nazi associate Hugo Lennon, spruiking the rally, is the grandson of the one of the wealthiest property owners.
(2)
It is the ruling class multi-millionaires and billionaires who hoard stolen property and wealth who cause imperialist wars and profit off the housing and cost of living crisis they created. We must fight against the Trumpist 'one nation' to nazi ecosystem scapegoating First Nations people, People of Colour migrants and trans people.

We call for left-wing networks to mobilise in solidarity and opposition in the CBD. A counter protest limits the recruitment and movement of fascists. Non-state street fascists grow more emboldened when ignored. But nazis are merely a small symptom of the problem.

We must remember so-called 'australia' is a colonial capitalist system of racism and oppression, built off the 'white australia policy', the ongoing genocide of First Nations people despite staunch resistance. We must protest the fascists and build solidarity in anti-colonial class war for liberation!

I always feel insane about this because it's unfair and it's not like it's impossible for a cop to spend two years reading theory and developing some intricate ideological scaffolding, but also my god every fucking cop that gets revealed is always like this:
2. Are their political ideas almost non-existent or
underdeveloped?
In most cases, infiltrators have had very little to say about the politics of
the movement they infiltrate. Although they show an interest in listening
to others, they contribute little and generally avoid or distance themselves
from these debates. On the other hand, they are “model militants” in terms
of their involvement in logistical issues, treasury, attendance at assemblies,
actions, etc.
When they do show interest, it tends to be superficial, or from the position
of active listening as a way of learning, and the books and reference material
they have are standard, popular material that shows little depth or breadth.
Warning: This is something that could be applicable to many people in the
movement in general, but in certain circles that shallowness is remarkable.

And there it is. JK Rowling personally and publicly offering to bankroll litigation against Amnesty International using her massive wealth.
A screenshot of a social media thread on X (formerly Twitter) featuring two posts by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling).
​The first post reads: 'Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org'.
​This first post includes a quote post from the account Trans Widows’ Voices. (@transwidows) that says: 'Whilst I understand the detriment to Beira's Place is real, and focussing on @jk_rowling get clicks it's a shame that mainstream press coverage of the Amnesty debacle is not also focussing on us smaller groups listed who do ...'
​The second post, a reply in the thread by J.K. Rowling, reads: 'Gay men's organisations named on the list are welcome to contact me through my website. While the JK Rowling's Fund was set up to support women, JK Rowling herself is more than happy to donate to your legal fighting fund.'"

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

WHO ARE BEHIND SATURDAY'S 'MELB' ANTI-TRANS RALLY?

An anti-trans splinter group called 'Street Action Victoria'. They formed out of the wreckage of attempts at anti-trans coalitions since Posie Parker's anti-trans tour in 2023, which attracted the support of the nazi NSN and mass opposition from the grassroots. 2026 sees a new round of co-ordinated anti-trans rallies across the continent.

MORE: transphobia is a gateway to the far-rightWHO ARE 'STREET ACTION 'VICTORIA' (1)

Juanita Lee Morgan (above) and Louise Carrigg (below) are key organisers
They focus on anti-trans campaigns, politicised by Posie Parker's attempt to intensify anti-trans bigotry
Juanita is a 'one nation' campaigner
'one nation' are the enemy of oppressed women: attacking abortion rights, deporting migrants, billions for imperialist wars, backed by ruling class in Gina Rinehart
In 2023, Louise made fucked comments, wishing a trans woman died during her surgery




WHO ARE 'STREET ACTION 'VICTORIA' (2)

They've held private anti-trans rallies outside the ABC and politician offices
They targeted trans women in prison with a prison protest. Criminalised trans women already face extreme state violence in solitary confinement
They've supported Sall Grover's case against Roxanne Tickle, over her defunct app Giggle's trans-exclusionary membership.
Transphobia is a warped gateway to far-right coalitions: ex-Greens founder Drew Hutton is flying to 'melbourne' to attend alongside 'one nation' campaignersSPREAD THE WORD,

we know the name of one possible detainee witness to the fireworks demo: leqaa kordia, palestinian woman detained for over a year while the government tried to make a case that sending money to her relatives in gaza was “material support for terrorism” (from hotel-florida.ghost.io/the-seeds-of...)
On July 4, 2025, a group of people gathered in the dark outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, and set off fireworks—a noise demonstration meant to carry to the people locked inside. That summer no, less than six months into the second Trump presidency, ICE was detaining people faster than it could house them; Prairieland, built for around five hundred, was running well over capacity. Among the people locked inside that night was Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian woman from New Jersey who had been arrested at a 2024 Columbia protest against the war in Gaza and then, a year later, detained over an expired student visa—what her lawyers called retaliation for her activism. The government had also accused her of providing "material support" to a terrorist group, pointing to money she'd sent to relatives in Gaza; an immigration judge found no evidence of it. She had been at Prairieland since March, sleeping on the floor of an overcrowded room because there weren't enough beds. She was still there on the Fourth of July-one of the people the noise was meant to reach.

WHY ARE FASCISTS SCARED OF TRANS LIBERATION? The white nationalism of Pauline Hanson was normalised yesterday by the elite 'national press club' kicking down on oppressed peoples, including trans people. Their paranoia of a 'transgender insurgency' reflects their fear of our struggle.
WHY ARE FASCISTS SCARED OF TRANS LIBERATION?

The white nationalism of Pauline Hanson was normalised yesterday by the elite 'national press club' kicking down on oppressed peoples, including trans people. Their paranoia of a 'transgender insurgency' reflects their fear of our struggle.


Protests are part of the struggle for trans liberation. This July 4th, another anti-trans coalition, emboldened by the racism and transphobia of Hanson are organising against our existence. They want to intensify how much the system already punches down on us. Spread the word and see you on the streets!TRANSNESS = POSSIBILITY OF GENDER SELF-DETERMINATION

Fascism is a supremacist ideology. They believe in gender hierarchy. They have resentment about how our struggle has led to us escaping the violent grip of the patriarchal cishet nuclear family, its roots in the colonial capitalist system. This escape through our own self-activity reaches limits through the liberalism of 'diversity and inclusion'. Liberals believe in hierarchy and the capitalist colonial system too. When nazis rallied with a transphobe coaltion on March 18th 2023, 'LGBT' liason cops participated in the bashing of us by cops to protect the nazis. Liberalism paves the way for fascism...

Trans rights are under attack from a bigoted far-right transphobic coalition: 'feminists' in coalition with the racism of One Nation and Trump, holding a rally at 12pm. We call for protest in love, rage and solidarity to defend trans people, and fight both transphobia and the violent, racist colonial capitalist system. We demand an end to sexism and inequality. Fight for gender freedom!

Stick together :)CONTEXT​

The far-right transphobe protest starts at 12pm at Parliament House steps, ‘melbourne’. They are mobilising to support anti-trans business boss Sall Grover, who has lost in the courts over offensively excluding trans women in her Giggle app. We stand with trans woman Roxanne Tickle, who fought the trans exclusion. Transphobia is a gateway to alliances with fascists.



Transphobes are coordinating cross-continent to wind back the limited trans rights we’ve collectively won. In ‘Brisbane’ / Magandjin, Pauline Hanson is a headline speaker on their July 12th protest. Hanson pushes disgusting racist policies, while cosying up to the billionaire ruling class in Gina Rinehart, who follows fascists like Trump in calling for more border violence, exploitation of workers and rolling back abortion rights.



Despite small gains we’ve won, the current system punches down so many poor and working class trans people to the margins. Transphobia comes with the colonial capitalist system enforced by violent cops, which relies on the the patriarchal cishet gender binary / nuclear family. Instead of gender fascism, we demand land back, a free Palestine, gender freedom and revolution!

CUTS KILL! DISABILITY JUSTICE = SMASH THE COLONIAL STATE
CUTS  KILL! DISABILITY JUSTICE = SMASH THE COLONIAL STATE
The ALP and ruling class are killing disabled people through these NDIS cuts. Their cuts mean by 2030, a whopping 300,000 of 900,000  people will lose access.
As one speaker, G. said, this colony has blood on its hand, particularly punishing and abandoning First Nations disabled people,  many who are then policed by racist violence into prisons. 
It is no surprise the cops attacked a disability justice rally. The state has emboldened their thugs with anti-protest and racist laws. Cops still rely on compliance and resistance today hampered them. Skills in sticking together can help fend off future police attacks.
 Everything is interconnected. Record funding of police, prisons, $400 billion in imperialist submarines to carceral medical systems are where the state directs its resources.
As one speaker said, disabled mutual aid saves lives and we’ll need to find ways to survive as eugenics here intensify. Land back, anti-colonial class war, liberation!

NAZIS WELCOME AT WAR MURDERER BEN ROBERTS-SMITH RALLY, ORGANISED BY NAZI ASSOCIATE MATT TRIHEY
NAZIS WELCOME AT WAR MURDERER BEN ROBERTS-SMITH RALLY, ORGANISED BY NAZI ASSOCIATE MATT TRIHEY


Around a dozen open nazis, were amongst the 200 odd crowd rallying for racist war murder impunity, supporting Ben Roberts-Smith, on Sunday. This is no surprise because Matt Trihey’s ‘national workers alliance’ (NWA) (or rather boss alliance in Matt’s case) organised the event. Trihey ran martial arts training for ‘the lads society’, the precursor for the defunct nazi NSN. He also spoke at the NSN’s nationals last year.
With the NSN disbanding, the NWA, who tactically downplay their nazi alignment, play an important role in attempts to cohere a fascist street movement.

Many on the left have grown complacent in the wake of the NSN disbanding with illusions placed in the state. Fascists are slowly adapting to the increased state repression they have faced, which is also hitting our side too. Once again on the weekend, they led and cohered the right in making booing welcome to countries acceptable.
