On the 23ed of July, a determined community response blocked fascists and “Jesus freaks” from disrupting a family-friendly Draq Queen Story Hour at Kensington library. The fash were kept off the floor where the event was being held, and it went on without trouble. Other cities were not so lucky.

In Boston, Proud Boys barged into a Drag Queen Story Hour, and in Chicago one had to be cancelled after presumed right-wing terrorists trashed the venue the night before. The attackers in Boston shouted “NSC-131” which is a neo-Nazi group containing several members who have been arrested for child pornography.

Another successful community defense of a Drag Queen Story Hour was reported in Montana. The fact that fascists have been able to hit so many targets, and have built up this sort of strengh just 30 days after the Dobbs decision points to a very dangerous acceleration of political instability in the US. Political violence is escalating many times faster than it did in 2020-and that year the US was reported to have the fastest growth of political violence on the entire planet.

UPDATE 7-24: It has been reported that TRUMP himself attended Turning Point USA. In addition to him, open Nazis with Nazis flags also showed up, but apparently were careful enough to stay out of sight of the protesters

On the 23ed of July, Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA and the groyper-associated “Student Action Summit” held a convention at the Tampa, FL convention center. Furious pro-choice protesters descended on the event and managed to take the steps of the Convention Center itself. MAGAts countered by pushing into and harassing the protest from behind.

The organizing against TPUSA was described as “liberal” yet the situation in the street felt very intense. Somehow the incidents of Trump/DeSantis/TPUSA fascists putting hands on people did not excalate to punches which then would be followed by projectiles. This was a very tight discipline on the part of the protest participants who unlike the fascists were not there for a riot. Still, the current political situation in the US is as combustable as the author of the report has ever seen it, exceeding even the beginning and end of Trump’s 2017-2021 term. During those times, we did not have an active ban on abortion in half the states. There was no bill to impose the death penalty for abortion in NC, and no serious proposal in FL to replace gender affirming care with forcible conversion therapy.

It has been less than a month since Dobbs, and the forces it has unleashed are accelerating at an rate I have not seen in my entire life. We have in two months gone from a “maybe” leaked SCOTUS draft decision to ban abortion to discussions of executions for abortion. Fascist violence is escalating just as fast. From their defeat at J6 they have recovered in a matter of weeks, and they have launched attacks on such things as drag queen story hours JUST THIS WEEKEND in three places: Chicago, Mongomery County, MD, and Boston. Only the MD one proceeded without disruption or cancellation.This is the use of force to enforce gender and sexual conformity, and this sort of hate can end in genocide.

The march rolls in

Hungry guillotine for the capitalists who have gone so crazy

This is NUTS

On the 20th of June, protesters again returned to the home of frat boy, rapist and Supreme Court “Justice” Brett Kavanaugh. Police threatened arrests without warning for “noise” but no arrests were attempted.

Arrests without warnings for noise violations are probably illegal, though cops claim the MD state’s attorney’s office claims to the contrary. Note that cops are by law permitted to lie at any time. Certainly it is not the normal practice in Montgomery County. Loud parties etc do NOT normally lead to no-warning noise arrests. If this was clearly known to be legal, cops probably would have tried it the previous week when the whole event was not under so many media cameras.

The raw number of cops on the scene was estimated at triple the number from the previous week, itself the scene of police threats and harassement. For all the claims of complaints to the cops, fliers.and.signs supporting the protests still appear in Chevy Chase

This is Iron Snowflake news, a Turtle Island wide successor to my work on DC Indymedia https://dcindymedia.org

That site is DC specific but continent-wide coverage of events across Turtle Island will be provided here. Many stories will be from Florida at this time, and more will come from our remote camera folks working in DC. I myself deployed back to DC (my former home town) for the month of June as the situation at the Supreme Court itself and the homes of the MAGAt “Justices” peaked.
