Anyone who thinks Novak Djokovic is a potential ally of refugees should read this article from September and set their head on straight.
His father’s speech today complained of a “dirty room in a migrant hotel”. These are not our friends.

Last night, Nazis attacked a White Rose fundraiser at Cafe Gummo and were driven out by antifascists. Earlier this week, Nazis took to the streets with placards to back up the “no” side in the referendum, and plastered Altona with antisemitic graffiti.
A group of neo nazis has squared off with anti-fascists, in a terrifying brawl that took over Thornbury's main street.

When the president of the most powerful country on earth declares he's making anti-fascism a serious crime, punishable by lengthy prison sentences, you know the time has come when that question 'what would I have done to stop the Nazis?' is no longer a hypothetical.

Catching flak from right-wingers who don’t even get tested, let alone vaccinated, nor announce the number of people infected at their events is a bit rich.

We found out this afternoon that Trump Jr.'s speaking tour has been postponed. While we don't know for sure why they've postponed the event, this is a good sign that the far right aren't easily able to carry out their mission of growing their bigotted political project here (1/2)

These are not potential allies or refugee advocates, these are far-right nationalists.

In November 1993, neo-Nazis from National Action showed up at Northcote Plaza. After being cornered, attacked, and beaten by a diverse crowd of antifascists including “a mean-looking contingent of lesbians”, the neo-Nazis were provided an escape route by police

Make no mistake, this is a reactionary movement. A confident far right, merged with Clive Palmer’s UAP, is dangerous to all left-wing causes and people.

Remember when VicPol said they checked with Senior Constable Travis Gray (the 👌🏻 cop) and that he was just doing an 'A-OK' gesture to a protestor and not an alt-right one?
Well, here's his (now deleted) Facebook profile, featuring the alt-right NPC meme as a profile pic. [1/3]

While it is a common feature in many countries, far-right and fascist movements do not always require white supremacist beliefs.
There are far-right and fascist movements and parties on every continent, including significant forces in India, Brazil, Chile and so on.

By noon, the Nazis—heavily outnumbered—had already been escorted away by their old friends the filth
Now they’re playing cat and mouse, running away from anti-fascists who followed them, trying to find where they parked to make a quick exit
You’ll always lose in Melbourne!
If your tiny group calls a rally for Noon, but feels the need to show up 2 hrs early just to briefly stand there—and you still fail to hold the rally as planned—then you’ve lost, Nazis.

Join CARF's protest to drive the Nazis out of Melbourne ✊✊
What we need is hundreds of people in the streets to show to the Nazis that Melbourne rejects the vile racism, sexism, transphobia and all their other bigotry.
Some things to note for the rally 👇

Did Avi Yemini call himself the “world’s proudest Jewish Nazi” as a joke?
Perhaps, but remember he delivered that speech to supporters of the EDL while defending his pal Tommy Robinson, known fascist.
Avi was a far-right activist for years before rebranding as a “journalist”

Far right/fash around the world will feel emboldened by events in DC today.
This may mean increased attacks on targeted and oppressed people here.
We can’t rely on the cops to protect our communities. It’s on us to organise against the far right and prevent their growth.

The passing of the pandemic bill in Victoria is likely to inflame far-right protests rather than end them.
Their movement becomes more dangerous as they shift from single-issue campaigns (anti-lockdown, anti-bill, etc) to a wider scope.
Now is not the time to let our guard down

The Campaign Against Racism & Fascism condemns today’s terrorist attacks in New Zealand in the strongest possible terms. We stand in unshakable solidarity with the Muslim community here, New Zealand and everywhere, as well as all victims & enemies of white supremacy and fascism.

Seen by a supporter: some excellent updates made to this UAP billboard 😍

ETU member Ryan Laws: "We've had our fair share of anti-vaxxer loony tunes in the construction industry."
"These ideas came from the society we live in... from those at the top saying we have to reopen no matter the risk. Two years of this has laid the basis for the right."
