A new report from Politico details how a centrist think tank for the Democratic Party is putting together their own version of Project 2025, the autocratic policy proposal drafted by The Heritage Foundation and countless other shadowy and elite right-wing think tanks and policy institutes. Let’s talk about Third Way and the Moderate Power Project. https://www.vpsreports.com/post/democrats-just-proposed-their-own-version-of-project-2025

Even more footage is surfacing of the pro-Israel terror attack on the UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment. Police looked the other way as Zionist terrorists used explosives, chemical weapons, and metal sticks to attack students. Even so, they couldn't break in. Multiple students were hospitalized.

BREAKING: LAPD and LASD suddenly arrest pro-Palestine UCLA students, legal observers, and press. No details as to what's going on. Metal handcuffs. To be clear, there isn’t even an encampment on campus anymore. It certainly feels like a police state in Los Angeles universities.

I was on the ground for the police raid and dismantling of the USC Palestine Solidarity Encampment this morning. The operation began at 4 AM with a significant legion of riot police from LAPD and DPS. Students were forced to leave. USC confirmed that no arrests were made. This is the second time this school’s pro-Palestine protest camp has been taken down. https://youtu.be/7bkUR3vl9zA?si=G3XTudlzGgb1nlfR

When cops throw grenades or open fire while trying to disperse you, their goal is to incite a panic and make everyone run and get hurt. It's a common tactic they use. Don't fall for it. Don't panic. Take a deep breath, analyze your surroundings. And then? Hold. Your. Ground. That is what these fascists pigs fear most. Cops are being pushed back as we speak. KEEP GOING. THE STUDENT INTIFADA WILL NOT BE STOPPED!

We have confirmed reports that the same Zionist terrorists from last night's attack are on the ground, carrying weapons, and working with law enforcement. UCLA administrators are now conspiring with the same violent extremists that hospitalized their students last night. UCLA wants blood. They want pro- Israel terrorists to murder students. They have police snipers aimed at their own students. They support throwing explosives and using chemical weapons on students.

Fuck. Here we go. Loudspeakers on UCLA are all declaring the Palestine Solidarity Encampment is an unlawful assembly to be sweeped. Mass arrests imminent. This comes after UCLA brought on Zionist terrorists to attack students for hours, injuring over 25 pro-Palestine demonstrators.

2024-05-02 00:49:40

UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment is calling all hands on deck! Fascist law enforcement, who collaborated with the Zionist extremist attack last night, are planning their own attack tonight.
If you are able:
HEAD TO UCLA ROYCE HALL!

2024-05-01 14:20:25

A mini martial law in New York. A mini civil war in Los Angeles. The number one and number two most populated cities in the country. All instigated by Zionists working with police and politicians on both sides of the aisle. Collaboration with Israel’s genocide against Palestine is tearing the United States and the world apart. This is a sign of what’s to come if we don’t overthrow this fascist status quo.

2024-05-01 13:49:15

COMMUNITY SELF DEFENSE IS THE BEST COUNTER TO FASCIST LYNCH MOBS. THE UCLA PALESTINE SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT EMBODIES THE PHRASE "WE KEEP US SAFE." GLORY TO ALL WHO FOUGHT AND HELD THE LINE AGAINST ZIONIST TERRORISM.
FIGHT TO DEFEAT THIS GENOCIDE.

2024-05-01 11:27:22

Every journalist who described protesters getting attacked as a “clash” should get punched in the face repeatedly. Oops, I mean they should get involved in clashes!

2024-05-01 10:56:02

Zionists launched a terrorist attack against UCLA pro-Palestine students for hours, all night long. They used metal sticks to beat people until they were covered in blood. They threw explosives and fired chemical weapons. There are many injuries on the pro-Palestine side. This was a conspiracy aided by police and city officials. They want us dead. Arm up and fight back.
Destroy Zionism and end the genocide against Palestine by any means necessary. THERE ARE NO MODERATES WITHIN A FACTION THAT IS ENGAGED IN GENOCIDE.

32 years ago (one year before I was born) the riots over the Rodney King beating began. Right now, the same lawyer that represented LAPD in the trial over that beating is representing LAPD in my lawsuit against the department for beating me with a baton and breaking my hand while I was reporting.

2024-04-30 05:42:54

Zionists at UCLA today yelled slurs and sexually assaulted a female photojournalist. Campus security allowed it to happen. If you are against this sexual assault or Zionist use of slurs, you will be called antisemitic. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6X4brqLeVC/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

The shock and awe reporting style of the media does a disservice to pro-Palestine student protesters. The only thing the media will show you are violent and traumatizing images with little context. What they won’t show you is WHAT PROTESTERS ARE DEMANDING. I think a lot of folks believe it’s just about raising awareness. That’s not accurate. These are tangible, explicit demands for transparency and divestment from apartheid and genocidal institutions in Israel. They’re going after the financing.

2024-04-27 21:59:13

A Zionist yelled “kill the Jews” and there’s no national outrage. No statements from politicians. No fury from the Israeli diaspora. Zionists are truly not beating the allegations of mirroring Nazism. https://www.thedailybeast.com/pro-israel-agitator-shouts-kill-the-jews-gets-everyone-else-arrested

The number of arrests from the University of Southern California pro-Palestine protest has now jumped to 93 arrests according to LAPD. Charged with 602 (O) PC (trespassing).

2024-04-25 05:16:54

There was a Nazi Patriot Front rally in Southern California at the start of April. No public outrage over antisemitism followed. Then there was a Nazi rally last week in Southern California too. Nazi salutes and antisemitic k-slurs. Again: no public outrage over antisemitism. Today there was a pro-Palestine protest at USC condemning genocide and suddenly everyone calls antisemtiism? Anti-Palestine reactionaries claim they care about antisemitism but they’re silent when it comes to real Nazis.

2024-04-25 01:58:55

Israel is still committing genocide against Palestine. Do not let the mass state repression of student protests eclipse this. Do not avert your eyes. We need to stop this genocide by any means necessary. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6KWwomtbat/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

The United States is not trying to be what Nazi Germany was.

It’s been over 1,000 days since a far-right militant flanked by neo-Nazis and Proud Boys stabbed two people at the trans rights protest at Wi Spa in 2021. The stabbing occurred on camera, in broad daylight, and in front of the police. The Wi Spa stabbing was covered up by local news and LAPD and the assailant remains at large. Far-right extremists at Wi Spa were protected by LAPD despite using weapons to threaten and attack pro-LGBTQ+ protesters. https://www.vpsreports.com/post/exclusive-two-stabbed-by-far-right-extremist-at-wi-spa-clash-over-trans-rights

I am not suicidal.

2024-03-31 04:19:54

Andy Ngô trying to portray me as a scary terrorist while also posting images of my bloodied up face after his own followers beat me up in an alley kind of betrays the initial point trying to be made. At least it should, but a core part of fascism is portraying the out-group as both scary enough to fight against but weak and degenerate enough to defeat. See Umberto Eco’s famous essay Ur-Fascism for more on this.

2024-03-31 00:40:57

Andy Ngô has incited deadly shootings and Chaya Raichik has inspired over 20 bomb threats against schools and children’s hospitals. They are the ones who are broadcasting to millions of people that I am a “terrorist.”
They accuse me of being what they are. But I won’t let them author my history.

Israel is not a legitimate state. It has mandated that genocide is necessary for its existence. And that is not acceptable. Decolonization is the only answer. Anything less is an endorsement of genocide. That word makes white folk so uncomfortable. Diaspora of colonized lands are taught not to say that word. It’s dirty. White people believe decolonization means ethnic cleansing when it’s literally the opposite. I can only assume they think that cuz if the roles were reversed, that’d be their tactic.

The moment a journalist becomes pro-genocide they abdicate their role as a journalist and, instead, take on a role of combatant. People who wrote for Der Stürmer were not journalists. They were Nazis, engaged in direct acts of genocide. People following such examples should be handled the way all Nazis should be handled.

Biden offered these people the most draconian anti-immigration policy you can imagine and they were like “nah, not racist enough.” Democrats must understand that moving the party rightward to appease Republicans can only ever end with absolute Republican supremacy. This is how fascism metastases.

BREAKING: I have exclusively published the Discord and Telegram chat log leaks from the “Take Our Border Back” convoy: https://www.vpsreports.com/post/leaked-take-our-border-back-convoy-discord-and-telegram-chat-logs

If I were a political cartoonist I’d make a drawing of one Israeli soldier labeled “genocide” another Israeli soldier labeled “apartheid” and a final Israeli soldier labeled “propaganda” and the first two would use the latter as a human shield.
I can’t draw though so someone can steal that.

So much energy has to be used just to deconstruct Israel’s pro-genocide propaganda and counter their lies that we sometimes can forget that the true enemy was never their malicious dishonesty, as sickening as it is.
It’s the genocide. The apartheid. That’s what humanity must prioritize defeating.
Yeah it’s nice to watch Israel get their ass kicked but our love for Palestinians must surpass all else. The only thing that matters is stopping Israel’s genocide against Palestine and ending the ruthless apartheid settler colonial rule.

BREAKING: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled in favor of immediately implementing provisional measures in the landmark genocide case South Africa has brought against Israel. However: there was no provisional measure ordering any kind of ceasefire.
Israel has been ordered to take all measures possible to prevent genocide. They must ensure their forces do not commit genocide. They must punish those who incite and commit genocide and acts of murder against civilians. They must do everything they can to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. They must not destroy evidence relating to the genocide case brought by South Africa. The judge stressed the urgency of the situation, and says Israel must report back to the ICJ within a month regarding these provisional measures.
Here’s what you need to know:
- The ICJ confirms they have jurisdiction to make a ruling in this case
- There is sufficient evidence that the dispute in this case exists
- Israel’s request to throw out the genocide case was denied
- The ICJ rules that Palestinians are a protected group as defined by the Genocide Convention and their right to be protected from genocide is recognized by the court
- Judge Donoghue states Israel’s military actions led to over 25,000 civilian deaths, over 60,000 injuries, massive destruction of homes, forced displacement of the majority of Gaza, and extensive damage to civilian infrastructure
- UN testimony from on the ground was repeatedly quoted and cited, including UN official Martin Griffiths saying “Gaza has become a place of death and despair.”
- The ICJ quoted multiple examples of dehumanizing language against Palestinians from high ranking Israeli officials such as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordering a “complete siege” of Gaza and telling troops they are fighting “human animals’’ and President Isaac Herzog saying, “it’s an entire nation out there that is responsible
- The ICJ noted that Israel ordered civilians to flee their homes to specific areas and then bombed those areas
- The ICJ added that all Israeli hostages must be released immediately and without conditions

General Mike Flynn, who is once again helping pull the strings of fascist insurrection and unrest just like he did with the January 6th coup attempt, just published an op-ed declaring that Texas has the right to start a war.

The struggle to prevent the civil war and to defeat fascism will not be easy. But we will fucking win.
Republicans can team up with as many fascists, Nazis, and Confederates as they want. But just remember: they have built themselves a coalition of factions who historically always fail.

2024-01-24 13:55:15

The War on Terror was an incredibly powerful radicalization tool for fascists. The genocidal fantasies they speak about aren’t hypothetical. Plenty of them have already gotten away with acting out these fantasies. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/man-convicted-manslaughter-killing-iraqi-civilian-arrested-assaulting-rcna135102

When SCOTUS drops a ruling that strips people of rights, we are told that we can do nothing. But when SCOTUS drops a ruling telling Texas to stop killing immigrants, they can deploy a private army to defy that ruling. This is fascism in action. The game is rigged and the playing field is uneven. This is asymmetrical civil warfare.

2024-01-23 23:37:46

I don’t want to just slow fascism I want to find out how to reverse the momentum of the Overton window to make it flow left

This evening in Los Angeles, friends and activists gather to celebrate the life of indigenous non-binary forest defender Manuel Esteban Paez Terán AKA Tortuguita, who was assassinated by Georgia state police for standing against the Cop City project and defending the Weelaunee forest. Their memory lives on in the movement to abolish our fascist police state, protect the environment, and demolish capitalism.
We said it before they killed Tort and we will keep saying it now: COP CITY WILL NEVER BE BUILT!
Personally: I want justice for Tort, but I’ll settle for vengeance.
VIVA VIVA TORTUGUITA!

Nobody gets fired or kicked out of school for supporting the Gaza Genocide. Nobody gets arrested or beaten up for supporting the Gaza Genocide. Nobody has their address doxed or their social security number stolen for supporting the Gaza Genocide. That only happens to those opposing genocide.

2023-12-14 03:06:07

Trying to kill protesters with your car should be illegal.

2023-12-04 00:29:56

You don’t have to curb your anti-genocide speech to ensure white people keep considering you one of the good colored people. Fuck what they think. Racism and genocide must be condemned with all of your might.

2023-12-04 00:27:32

No silence is louder than a white person bending over backwards to not say the word “genocide” while that white person simultaneously funds The Thing That Must Not Be Named.

2023-12-04 00:27:11

Genocide will increasingly become more common, as will white people demanding the right to have complete control over when the term can be used.

2023-12-04 00:27:02

You don’t have to “um actually” someone when they condemn genocide.

2023-12-04 00:16:29

If genocide is your entire reason for existing and your ultimate mission on this earth then you forfeit your right to exist.

2023-12-01 02:37:29

Protest. Get attacked. Get told you’re a liar. Get told what you’re protesting about is wrong.
Months/years later, everyone suddenly acknowledges the thing you protested was 100% true and awful but there was nothing that could be done.
Rinse. Repeat.

Excellent reporting on Sonja Shaw and her Christian fascist vendetta against transgender and non-binary kids in Southern California. A breath of fresh air to read this after the ghastly LA Times piece on Shaw. https://newrepublic.com/article/177180/christian-right-wants-force-teachers-trans-kids

You know what’s better than a war criminal dying of old age?
A war criminal being stopped.
Let’s not wait for the incumbent acolytes of Kissinger’s genocidal political doctrine to have to die decades from now in order to finally celebrate like this again.
Make it happen today, tomorrow, always.

2023-11-30 07:54:19

I hope Kissinger was cold, alone, and scared when it happened. I hope pain was the final sensation.

2023-11-30 04:12:05

Nah he’s grabbing a big ass ladder to climb down to hell and give Kissinger that beating he was always on about

Israel and Russia are both engaging in genocides while claiming their genocides are campaigns to stop Nazis. In reality, both countries are acting like the group their people were historically targeted by. Western liberals clearly see through Putin’s “denazification” lies but indulge in Netanyahu’s.

2023-11-15 02:02:05

If you don’t want to be compared to the Nazis, then don’t wipe out entire bloodlines of families. Don’t elect a leader who openly defends Adolf Hitler. Don’t threaten nuclear Holocausts against races you hate. Don’t forcibly displace people to steal their land and living space. Don’t dehumanize people by comparing them to insects and parasites.
Crazy concept, but if you don’t commit genocide, you won’t be constantly compared to other people who commit genocide.

2023-11-14 08:55:19

Where is the international condemnation of Israel’s threat to wipe out Beirut?! If a terror group threatened to wipe out Tel Aviv, it would be rightfully widely condemned. But Israel is free to threaten to slaughter innocent people and they’re still endlessly defended?! Y’all are so fucking racist.

2023-11-13 19:27:44

This is Wind-Up. A short film I edited and executive produced, shot in Lebanon. The Defense Minister of Israel just threatened to bomb Beirut like Gaza— which means Israel is threatening to kill 90% of the crew of this film, as well as their families and communities. My friends. I’m shaking with rage. https://youtu.be/R_fua0hXToc?si=akWI6JUCKr-x1vur

Some political ideologies are genocidal in theory, but they lack the means to accomplish their horrific ambitions. Zionism is not one of those ideologies. Zionism is genocidal in practice. Zionism has the means. We have seen the results for nearly a century now. We know what Zionism means: genocide.

2023-11-10 03:35:47

Stop calling Joe Biden senile. It’s problematic, inaccurate, and it removes his agency. He’s an actively malicious and violent racist. His enthusiasm for white supremacist slaughter is the most Trumpian part of his presidency. And his commitment to genocide will undoubtedly hand Trump the win.
