TORCH was born out of the Anti-Racist Action Network. Our chapters are dedicated to confronting fascism and all elements of oppression through direct action.
NEW from Atlanta Antifascists:
Goyim Defense League member Mel Travis Layton (AKA “John 8:44”) of Missouri has been identified as a participant of the Nazi rally outside of Chabad Lubavitch of Cobb County.
Earlier this week the
@TorchAntifa
Network received a "Cease and Desist" notice from
@AntiFashGordon
that also contained the legal names and addresses of multiple anti-fascists outside the Torch Network.
“So basically I was shot by, I’m not sure if they’re ‘Proud Boys’ or KKK,” said Young. “But the verbiage that they said was hold this ‘N-----’ and shot me.”
Man critically injured in CHOP shooting says he was the victim of a racial attack
Rare antifa tip: you don't have to post every little thing you find out about a Nazi on Twitter as soon as you find it.
In fact, it is often advantageous to wait to reveal your hand until you have solid and actionable intel.
Fash are getting ran out of queer events across the country thanks organized antifascists not putting up with their shit.
Here's a report back from Kalamazoo:
#OtD
12 Aug 2017 32-year-old anti-racist Heather Heyer was killed and 19 injured in a neo-Nazi terror attack in Charlottesville, VA. Heather was one of many protesting a white supremacist rally when a Nazi drove his car deliberately into the crowd
The owners of this car dealership in Kenosha say they have sustained hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage in the last 2 nights of protests & that insurers say they don’t cover this type of destruction. “But if it actually gets justice, sure burn it 20 times” they tell me
@AntiFashGordon
In this letter, Gordon demanded that we take down our statement about him, and all Torch tweets regarding said statement, or else he would sue the network and the named individuals for defamation, based on economic damages he says he has suffered to his career.
For everyone thinking of making a Threads account:
Meta voluntarily gave police private DMs of a 17 year old who received an abortion in order to arrest her.
NEW: The leader of Blood Tribe Dixie has been identified as former Proud Boy Steven Jason Parr of Athens, GA by
@afainatl
Steven will be present at the Blood Tribe x GDL neo-Nazi march expected for this weekend in Orlando, FL.
Misogynists make great informants.
Weed them out of your groups and movements early and vigorously.
There is no amount of good work misogynists can do to make their presence worthwhile.
However one of the key witnesses was a former antifascist and sexual abuser Johannes Domhöver, who decided to cooperate with the state after multiple women accused him of sexual violence. Sexual abusers are a threat to safety of the whole antifascist movement! 4/5
A new antifascist investigation shows that
@Google

@amazon

@stripe

@Namecheap
and other tech companies provide crucial infrastructure for the groups behind this weekends neo-Nazi rally in Orlando.
Antifascist action is community defense, not content for you to consume.
If you weren't involved in organizing against a Nazi demo, keep your mouth shut about what *should* have been done, and definitely don't share the Nazi's propaganda while playing armchair antifa.
Seeing a lot of posts assuming those nazis were unopposed today.
They went unopposed by politicians, non profits, and the majority of local lefty orgs.
But trust us, people let them know they were unwelcome.
Memorial graff in Sydney for Dan Shersty and Spit Newborn, antifascist skinheads & founding members of the Las Vegas chapter of Anti-Racist Action.
On the 4th of July 1998 they were lured into the desert outside Vegas and gunned down by a gang of 6 white supremacists.
Heads up Florida! This event is not only likely to happen this weekend, but loose-lipped nazis point toward a rally location specifically in the Orlando area.
🚨 ALERT! 🚨 In the wake of a white supremacist mass shooter murdering three Black people in Jacksonville, a coalition of neo-Nazi groups is planning a secret march in Florida claiming to have 100+ vetted participants.
Intel leaks suggest it will be this Labor Day weekend.

A thread 🧵 on StopZionistHate, the white nationalist sock puppet account posing as a pro-Palestinian org.
For a long time, the account has been disciplined in keeping its antisemitism carefully curated. But ad expected, it has now begun tip toeing into extremist messaging.
We are proud to welcome Chicago Anti-Fascist Action to the Torch Antifa Network!
@ChicagoStyleAFA
is responsible for some the most important antifascist work in recent years and we are honored to have them in our network.
Sadie Farrel is a former anarchist living in New York City who spends her days doxxing and blackmailing anarchists and antifascists.
Do not tell Sadie, or the so-called antifascists who defend her and give her info on her targets, anything.
A crucial project of the antifascist movement is to dislodge the ADL as the hegemonic voice on contemporary fascism because they weaponize their authority on these matters to advance the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Hey quick question for any old heads around here: what did they call antifascists in the United States before they were called antifa? Or were they always called that?
The Patriot Fail site is (almost) up-to-date!
Patriot Fail aggregates identities of members of the neo-Nazi organization Patriot Front and sorts them by state.

have been taking down Proud Boys banners and using them to hold community art parties defacing them - now they're ruining their crappy billboards.
Looks like the Nazis from the National Justice Party are trying to hijack the pro-Palestinian rally at the White House right now. The rally since moved to BLM Plaza and the boneheads are smart enough to keep their distance, but they are still there.
English fascists turned up to the Palestinian solidarity demo with provocative flags. They lost all three. Anti-fascists and pro Palestinian demonstrators embarrassed them. Look for the write up in a few days
An attack against one of us is an attack against all of us.
We need antifascists of all stripes and banners to rally around Krystal and Peppy right now.
We also find it ironic that AFG has decided to republish sections of the statement he threatens to sue over 🤔 even when we’ve complied with the request??

Pacific Northwest Wolfpack is a neo-Nazi organization linked to several murders that is currently attempting to build a compound outside of Elma, WA.

remain vigilant! there are imperialist apologists on the one side, and nazi opportunists on the other. the palestine solidarity movement resolutely REJECTS fascism in all of its faces.
I've been indicted by Tarrant County, who have so far, refused to grant my request for trial for more than two hundred days. Through this, I am embroiled in litigation with some overly litigious fascists from the New Columbia movement who are suing me for $250,000.

It's not encrypted, they will ban your server if they don't like what you're doing, making an anonymous account is difficult (i.e. not connected to your real phone number), they record your voice chats, they collaborate with law enforcement, and they're easy to scrape.
$600 raised for abortion medication with a recovered Patriot Front banner by Satanists in Boise as part of a city wide effort that removed multiple Nazi banners shortly after they were dropped🔥😈
NEW: The 3rd article in Bay 161's series covering WLM CA & NorCal Active Club covers a longtime bonehead attempting to network in Castro Valley/Livermore & start a nazi plumbing company after he almost burnt his house down:
Jonathan Scott Court.
James Fields was convicted today and faces 20 years to life in prison.
We know that true justice will only come when fascism itself is buried.
Abolish Oppression
Abolish the State

In memory of
#HeatherHeyer
and all Martyrs
Large public rallies and marches are empowering, but remember that you are the most surveiled and scrutinized by law enforcement while participating in them.
If you want to do something cool & stay free, consider doing it the night before or in a different part of the city.
Being in Patriot Front is just paying a scrawny kid in a hat to yell at you and demand that you clap after marching around in the cold while getting yelled at by the public
