quote:

Last month, thousands gathered in San Francisco and Berkeley to defeat the hatred of fascism and white supremacy. A united front of labor, clergy, students, socialists, anarchists and others successfully prevented the fascists from holding their rallies.

This is antifa — a broad movement of people who stand against the violence of white supremacists and fascists, violence emboldened by the ascendancy of Donald Trump to the presidency.

Despite our victory, Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin called for antifa to be classified as a criminal gang. The lesson here is that we cannot depend on the government to meaningfully intervene and prevent the rise of fascism. That is up to us.

The National Lawyers Guild, an organization of thousands of lawyers, law students and legal workers across the country, has supported free speech and assembly for all progressive and radical movements for 80 years. But The Chronicle’s coverage of the Aug. 27 rally would have you believe that it is the “alt-right” that seeks to protect speech. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

Here are some examples of what the far right does when no one is filming:

•Our volunteer attorneys, legal workers and clients have received death threats and their personal information publicized to promote harassment, as a result of our defense of antifa activists;

•One attorney was stalked inside the courthouse by a man with a swastika tattoo and a shaved head wearing quasi-military-type attire. He then left, and shortly thereafter she received threatening messages and had to seek protection at a safe house;

•A group of men wearing military-like attire, and one with a swastika tattoo, was seen waiting outside Santa Rita Jail for arrestees to be released;

•National Lawyers Guild phone lines have been inundated with hate calls.

But we are prepared to defend ourselves, and are implementing security plans to ensure the safety of our members, allies and partners. This is hatred and violence, not speech.

As an antiracist organization, we refuse to support white supremacists. That does not mean that we oppose free speech.

We believe far-right extremists have successfully twisted the right to free speech to cast themselves as victims of exactly what they strive to promote — hate and violence.

The far right, however, is not the only problem. The government appears to be colluding with the far right to target antifa. Of six protesters held overnight in jail, only one has been charged with a crime — a woman with a service dog who was brutally pinned to the ground by police, allegedly for throwing an apple. Another was arrested for allegedly pulling their T-shirt over part of their face when photographed by fascists.

This campaign to recast antifa as a violent, leftist suppression of speech is a dangerous effort eerily reminiscent of the left-baiting that accompanied the Nazi rise to power.

The National Lawyers Guild won’t stand by as fascists and white supremacists seek to take power in the streets and halls of government. We stand in solidarity with all who fight hatred. We will continue to show up, to defend activists who challenge fascism, and we call on all people of conscience to do the same.

he probably didn't check on the BDS thing and just wanted Bernie voters and then woops here comes a few thousand angry folks

he never had a chance due to sponsoring the death to pensions bill but was clearly hoping to bury that and split off the left wing vote.

he's still a better choice than pritzker or Kennedy. he totally hosed up vetting on this though because biss should've known how big a deal this was for his base

She can be paid and an idiot.
In fact that's the most common idiot in power, a paid idiot.

bro, criticism of israel IS antisemitism now. this is something the israel lobby has been pushing for awhile now. any criticism of israeli policy can now be painted as criticism of jewishness even though the two have nothing to do with one another.

Good thread on how a "two-state solution" is something that you can't just say without considering a lot of obstacles given how deep-seated the status quo is with regards to settlements:

(I mean, obviously I want Palestinian autonomy, but this is a pretty bleak picture)
