On the 6th of October, DC’s Harriet’s Wildest Dream assembled in Freedom Plaza for a march demanding killer cops be fired and jailed. Included in the speakers were the mothers of a number of people murdered by police in DC and surrounding areas.

When the march reached MPD (DC Police HQ), marchers ordered motorcycle cops blocking the road to “Move Back!” and the cops complied. It was quickly realized that killer cop Jason Bagshaw was involved in police activity surrounding this march, even though the mother of the man he shot and killed was on the sound truck! Bagshaw was called out from the stage as the murderer and oppressor he is.

A meeting by so-called “Moms4Liberty” in Clarksburg, MD draw protesters outraged by their anti-lgbtq+ and especially anti-trans agenda of hate. Moms4Liberty is also possibly the most infamous book-banning outfit in the entire so-called “United States”

Atlanta Committee for Progress doxxed on scenes.noblogs.org in retribution

More Cop City news: In an incredibly ugly development, the Fulton County Clerk’s office instead of scanning all those petitions for certification has scanned them and UPLOADED THEM TO A PUBLIC WEBSITE!

It is suspected that the Mayor of Atlanta may have directly ordered the clerk’s office to disregard the City Council’s instruction to put the petitions online “for transparency” with personal information redacted. Mayor Andre Dickens seems to be every bit as much a “Trump Democrat” (in policies not endorsement) as DC’s mayor Muriel Bowser.

Now for the payback: In retribution for this doxxing attack, scenes.noblogs.org has done the same to the Atlanta Committee for Progress, a notorious insider “money and power” conspiracy that has dominated Atlanta’s politics for years with the “Atlanta Way.”

A dox has been avenged with a dox-and the “what they do to us, we can do to them!” message has been sent. Rule of law may be dead but justice is NOT.

On the 29th of September, Orlando’s Critical Mass ride may have drawn as many as 800 riders.

On the 26th of September, Christo-Fascist Moms4Liberty showed up in the morning at Gaithersburg High School in Montgomery County, MD. They and “Billboard Chris” held an anti-LGBTQ rally especially condemning trans kids but were outnumbered and opposed by counterprotesters and students alike.

It is not uncommon to see these bible-thumping, hate-spewing bigots in places like Florida (we have a serious infestation of Nazis and religious haters here!) but seeing them in Montgomery County, MD is a wake-up call.

An evening Moms4Liberty “Town Hall” was also counterprotested, and quite likely was why the morning even even took place, given that Billboard Chris literally flew in from another fashy protest in Toronto. Nice carbon footprint pal!

It has been remarked that West Palm Beach, in hard-right theocratic Florida, has essentially criminalized “Loaves and Fishes.” The Christian Bible that DeSantis and co are so fond of claims that Jesus fed 5,000 men and their familes (potentially 20,000 or more people,) somehow multiplying 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes to feed them all. Had Jesus lived in West Palm Beach today, that would have potentially earned him a $500 fine and 60 days in jail.

It is doubtful that someone reportedly executed for flogging bankers with a well-earned cat of 9 tails (“money changers in the temple”) would have been deterred by West Palm Beach’s cops though. Bankers are still earning their stripes today with such things as supporting “redevelopment” that pushed people into the streets, followed by supporting “crime suppression” tactics to round up or drive off those impoverished or dehoused by such policies.

On the 18th of September, activists furious about repeated ticketing of Food Not Bombs foodshare by West Palm Beach police gathered at City Hall, then marched through a restaurant area.

These tickets carry fines of up to $500-and up to 60 days JAIL TIME. This is an act of war on unhoused people, and an act of war on the entire activist community. Feeding unhoused people in an environment where business owners are trying to turn cities into shopping malls where anyone not making or spending money is considered a tresspasser is a political act. When combined with signs and political outreach it becomes a First Amendment activity, meaning the First Amendment is the only permit Food Not Bombs ever needs.

One businessmen whined to the protesters afterwards that he is moving his business out of the city because he does not like unhoused people. He will NOT be missed, good riddance. It’s business owners of this type and wealthy condo and luxury apartment dwellers that are responsible in so many cities for police harassment of unhoused folks.

In Washington DC it was restaurant owners whining about street vendors that led to huge licensing costs and hassles, the ones that are why DC now cannot get street vendors back after pandemic shutdowns.

(Editor’s note: I am seeing this from Florida, a frontline state both in climate change and in the fight against Fascism)

During the big Sep 17 climate march in NYC, a young activist from Korea spoke on the destruction caused by fossil fuel colonialism. At the end of her speech, she directly warned Biden to either stop approving fossil fuel projects, or risk an electoral boycott by young people.

Note that such a boycott hands the White House to Trump or DeSantis who also favor fossil fuels, but the entire two-party system is rigged to generate exactly this effect. Biden knows voters concerned about eminent domain pipelines and climate change have “nowhere to go” except home or to 3ed parties who are structurally blocked from ever taking power. Knowing that, the Democrats treat threats like this as bluffs. They DO however still face the threat that if Biden demotivates a major sector of voters, many who are on the line anyway of voting or not will stay home.

Election boycotts are normally associated with strong movements of extra-parliamentry opposition or outright insurgencies such as in Iran, where the objective is not to give legitimacy to a false choice.

The overall situation is quite ugly: Biden is considered unlikely to be able to defeat Trump, and policies like this that demotivate his base are one of the reasons. Many say he should pre-empt this by stepping down.

While there is little difference between Trump and Biden on fossil fuels, a Trump or still worse DeSantis win would impose the most genocidal anti-LGBTQ hate laws and racist policies of Flordia and Texas nationally.

No matter who wins the 2024 election, it will take tough fighting in the field to destroy projects like the Mountain Valley Pipeline. The final defeat of Huntingdon Life Sciences after 20 years of fighting shows the way. If Trump or DeSantis gets in, many won’t be ABLE to fight over pipelines as they will be too busy fighting to stay out of conversion therapy camps and prisons over their sexuality, or to escape ramped-up police brutality and witch-hunts over the color of their skin.

We cannot win ANYTHING in the 2024 election but we sure as hell can lose a lot.

On the 15th of September, corrupt “frat boy” and so-called “Justice” Kavanaugh again got protesters at his fancy Chevy Chase home. This time around, a new chant was added “we want to know who owns your court.” This was in addition to chants calling out Kavanaugh as a rapist and a fascist.

On Friday, the 15th of September, Trump will be speaking twice in DC: once to Concerned Women for America at 7PM at the Capitol Hilton (1001 16th st NW), and the 2nd time at 9PM at “Pray, Stand, Vote, which is a Christo-Fascist group that appears to have the bigoted “Family Research Council” as it’s core.The second appearance is at the Omni Shoreham at 2500 Calvert St NW, where a 3 day hatefest also featuring DeSantis will be underway. Both Trump and DeSantis are on the speakers list, along with anti-LGBTQ genocide advocate Gary Bauer of the Family Research Council and a hornet’s nest of other haters.

The 7PM event is nasty too: Concerned Women for America, another anti-LGBTQ group

Pray, Stand, Vote is “A national gathering of spiritually active, governance engaged conservatives (SAGE Cons).”

Pray, Stand, Vote is Organized by Family Research Council, Real Life Network, AFA Action, Evangelism Explosion, Truth & Liberty Coalition, First Liberty Institute, American Values, National Hispanic Pastors Alliance, and Family Policy Alliance
