well, our friends in the Democratic party usually lead the war on christmas every year. that's Pelosi's big thing as i recall. but we could certainly bring it up during the next Democratic Leadership/Antifa meeting, coming up on last Thursdays of each month

No, no, no. Guess again. It's an easy one.

it is to laugh, like so, ha! (Aimless), Friday, 9 July 2021 16:57 (three years ago) link

When I say 'war on christmas' I mean that quite literally.. torching nativity scenes, robbing bell ringers, attacking carolers, etc.

Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 9 July 2021 17:01 (three years ago) link

this is what Pelosi pushes for every time. it's Hoyer who says no violence. Hoyer is the true leader of the democratic party, at least in terms of influence

You know what would be good? A clipboard with a sign-up sheet we could hang next to the door so anyone who wants to speak can ask for a place on the agenda. Is then when we all go around the circle and newcomers like me can introduce ourselves?

Andy, I think you might want to check in with the Munitions Working Group. Their meetings are on the 2nd and 4th Mondays. Their meetings are more like work parties, so dress accordingly. I think they normally order vegan pizza and they get coffee from that place that refused to serve cops.

Another announcement -- anyone who wants to join the Dismantling the Patriarchy Working Group, they need members, especially cis-males who are comfortable with kneeling and scrubbing floors.

Also -- in response to the question earlier about the macrame class -- Crafting Against Carceral States is organizing a monthly street market, so anyone interested in having a booth, I can put you in touch

sarahell, Friday, 9 July 2021 18:08 (three years ago) link

All this talk about 'fundraising' and 'street markets' makes me kinda wonder which side some of you are on

Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 9 July 2021 18:09 (three years ago) link

The street market supports families of victims of the carceral state as well as raising money for bail funds for those who remain in jail because they can't afford cash bail. Also, products for sale at the street market are priced according to the relative oppression status of the purchaser. White people are charged more than BIPOC.

I do like that Chomsky tote bag

Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 9 July 2021 18:28 (three years ago) link

which one?

sarahell, Friday, 9 July 2021 18:31 (three years ago) link

street market is fine with me as long as a white neighborhood is razed to make space for it

Hey everyone, happy to finally find a community that wants to just skip the bullshit and get right on with the la la la-ing

Evan, Saturday, 10 July 2021 01:27 (three years ago) link

ok, meeting topic

the oath keepers leader has been talking about 1/6/21 and what a threat we were to trump's supporters

Rhodes told the Times “I did express frustration that some of my guys went in.” He said he told the FBI that those who breached the Capitol had “gone off mission” and added: “There were zero instructions from me or leadership to do so.”

Rhodes has long been under federal scrutiny for his actions on Jan. 6. He’s maintained that the Oath Keepers were prepared to defend against anti-fascists, not take offensive action against Congress.

“If we actually intended to take over the Capitol, we’d have taken it, and we’d have brought guns,” Rhodes said at a rally in late March. “That’s not why we were there that day. We were there to protect Trump supporters from antifa.”

what do we think of this rhodes guy

Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Saturday, 10 July 2021 03:13 (three years ago) link

now, i remember that day. i remember being in the washington DC hills with our muskets, preparing to charge. even our dogs were angry. goddamn, it was sad to see my dog so angry. that is not how i raised her. but these are troubled times. but i do not remember threatening trump's patriots that day, in person. i just remember getting ready to do it, spinning those wheels and throwing up dust and posting about it

In case anyone was wondering I've been keeping notes of every working group discussion? Google doc available here. Please get back to me with edits before next week.

Would anyone like to rotate tasks for our next meeting? Anyone who prefers to be a convener lmk ASAP. I of course am white so I'm available to do all the things no one else wants to do unless you love taking notes in which case please rescue me from electronic documentation hell.

Also I move that we block out a series of 10 meetings in the next quarter to go over bylaws--I know everyone hates bylaws but when our community political education working group is split on whether to partner with that one city agency, you'll be glad we specified organizational practices for non consensus-based decision making.

Also also if a meeting takes place at a meal-time we need to commit to feeding people. Bio needs are real! Speaking of which please turn your cameras on and interact with other attendees in the chat box but also attend to your bio needs, hopefully not at the same time (but no judgement).

I think that's it! Type "stack" in the chat to comment.

Should we assign a group to addressing that? I could go for a drink right now, but don’t want to support colonial imperialism.
