Also available from me this week: Are you accidentally becoming a platform for fascist #propaganda?
I wrote about three mistakes I've seen well-meaning antifascist folks make, such as sharing Nazi stickers/banners/etc with uncensored URLs in them. https://kitoconnell.com/2025/03/11/dont-accidentally-platform-fascist-propaganda/
My latest: Last year, I covered the chaos as a peaceful protest for #Palestine at the University of Texas at #Austin was attacked by state troopers and local police. Unknown to me, a respected UT professor I'd interviewed for other stories was also there, and was about to have an encounter with cops that would cost him his career.
Today, Austin Free Press is releasing video from that incident showing the trooper deliberately shoving him multiple times. https://austinfreepress.org/days-of-rage/
Out today at Austin Free Press: Respected UT professor Richard Heyman was arrested and lost his job after an altercation with police at a protest for #Palestine last year. Newly released video shows the Texas state trooper deliberately shoving Heyman multiple times. https://austinfreepress.org/days-of-rage/
Hey #TeslaTakedown, I created a short zine on tactics you can use at protests if you're getting harassed by unwanted people with cameras (i.e. Wannbe Infowars dudes, aka media trolls)...
I think y'all might be needing this soon.

'This weekend, protests escalated at Tesla showrooms across the nation. Hundreds of people gathered to boycott Elon Musk and his involvement in the Trump administration as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is overseeing a massively disruptive effort to fire thousands of federal workers to slash government spending.'

From Malpensa to Tel Aviv: Italian police use Israeli software to spy on anti-deportation activsts
„Police violence is about more than batons. It also manifests itself through interference and encroachment into private life. Police have always used an odious set of tools to achieve this. They follow people’s movements and observe and listen to their daily lives.
Today, however, access by police forces and governments to confidential, detailed and sensitive information can be much more pervasive than one might imagine. The spyware system Paragon, that has recently come to light, is one example of this. The services provided by the Israeli company Cellebrite are another, albeit different, example.
We have written this text because we believe it may help people protect themselves from the pervasive surveillance by the authorities. We invite you to share it widely.…“

Boo hiss! #DC's #BlackLivesMatter mural will be erased. Look back at the iconic street painting
March 8, 2025
"#WashingtonDC's iconic 'Black Lives Matter' street mural, which has served as a powerful symbol of #activism and a gathering place for #joy and #resistance, will soon be gone.
"The decision to remove the enormous mural near the #WhiteHouse comes after a U.S. Rep. #AndrewClyde, R-#Georgia, introduced legislation earlier this week that gave D.C. an ultimatum: either paint over the slogan or risk losing federal funding. The bill also called for the area in downtown D.C. to be re-named from #BlackLivesMatterPlaza to Liberty Plaza."
