Jeff Bezos get home demo for Poushawn Brown at his DC house

Submitted by Luke on Mon, 01/09/2023 - 23:39

On the 8th of January, protesters assembled at the DC home of Jeff Bezos (one of many of his homes) for a candlelight vigil to remember Poushawn Brown. At the start of the covid pandemic, she was ordered to test other workers at Amazon with zero protective equipment and died as a result of this shameful refusal to provide any kind of protection. Amazon has refused to pay her family a penny even though this assignment was illegal.

Counterprotesters hold the line as Fascists, Christian nationalists return to DC for J6 anniversary

Submitted by Luke on Sun, 01/08/2023 - 02:15

On the 6th of January, 2023, some of the same Trump supporters and general Fascists who fought two years ago that day returned to the Capitol and also showed up at the US Supreme Court. Some of the counterprotesters threw the Proud Boys slogan "fuck around and find out" back at the fascists by saying Ashli Babbatt did exactly that.

Bank of America gets major fire in Portland in retribution for Atlanta Forest Defense "terror" charges

Submitted by Luke on Tue, 01/03/2023 - 01:13

On New Year's Eve, a lone warrior broke into a Bank of America branch in Portland, OR and set it on fire. The fire burned for more than an hour and took two alarms to put out. The communique posted to scenes.noblogs.org taking credit for the fire cites the bullshit "domestic terror" charges against six arrestees from the Dec 13 raid on the Atlanta Forest defenders as the motive.

Fundies, Proud Boys harass but cannot shut down final day of Drag Queen Christmas in Clearwater, FL

Submitted by Luke on Fri, 12/30/2022 - 03:16

On the 29th of December, the final performance of "A Drag Queen Christmas" took place in Clearwater, Florida. Members of Cavalry Christian Worship Center (an extreme Christian Cult) and 3 or 4 Proud Boys were unable to overcome defenders much less attempt to shut down the show itself. Again the Governor's interference and threats were unable to stop the show, again the show went on. Some attendees cheered counterprotesters on the way in and out.

Well-defended Orlando drag shows goes on after FL governor's legal threats-and a bomb threat

Submitted by Luke on Thu, 12/29/2022 - 03:18

The Dec 28 drag show in Orlando went on in spite of an explicit threat by Florida's Christian Nationalist governor DeSantis to take legal action against the venue if anyone under 18 was seen inside. This threat was called. As the press hype grew, a protective pro-LGBTQ crowd grew in front of the venue. Two groups of Christian nationalists ineffectually protested the show. A firetruck and ambulance showed up halfway through, it turns out some opponent of the show had called in a bomb threat. The delay was short and the show went on! Proud Boys in uniform were nowhere to be seen, same as in Miami the previous night.
